Ok, fun is over   I stopped my mass gaining regimen 3 weeks ago at a peak weight of 202.6 pounds.  I started eating less and continued a weight-training schedule with higher reps and in the last 3 weeks have dropped to about 198 pounds.  So, 4 pounds in 3 weeks with no real change other than diet.  Problem is, some of that weight is just water from the lack of creatine supplementation so, it’s about time to add in lots of cardio.

I will add 3-4 days a week of cardio, 30-45 minutes per session.  Let’s see what that does.  i hope to lose about 2 pounds per week.  As long as I lose 1-2 pounds per week I won’t change a thing.

I’ll keep ya posted!

Due to popular request (lol) I have posted current progress pics.  Now you are all on my journey to drop the bodyfat before summer!

What a wild ride!  This week I finished a 3 month program designed to increase overall strength by 25%.  Today I tested my strength on 5 major lifts and these are the results:

Bench Press + 28%
Squat +30%
Deadlift +60%!
Bent-Over Row +28%
Overhead Press +21%

Wow!  True to its word, the article said I would get about 25% stronger and they were right on.  Overhead presses were a tad low but still significantly improved.  I am hoping to take what mass I gained into my cutting cycle to get ripped for Summer.  I hardly lifted weights for the last couple of years and to see this kind of improvement in 3 months is astonishing, especially considering that I set personal records in a number of these lifts after all that time off.
