Rest day:
Llght cardio: 25 mins
Check in: BW, 170 BF, 12.2
Content with the body fat at this weight.
Earlier this week, I found out the video project will be postponed. So, I came off the diet a bit. No biggie for both. I plan on eating clean because I would like to be at 165 and hold with less than 10 percent. Time frame, two months.
Take a look inside IFPA Natural Pro, Joe Franco's daily workout's and comments about training.

Great workout today with new motivation.
I spoke with Matt Sheply yesterday who is the founder of the OCB and Fitness & Physique Magazine, and he asked me to be involved in a new posing video project.
So, as of today, the clean up diet starts! I will have about 2 months to capture a good shape and look for the video.
So, no more junk and will start doing the sprints again.

Mixed the order up again, and made some nice gains on the first movement. Been feeling strong lately, and pumps have been quick and staying full.
The only change in supps is that I have been using P Slin by USP labs for over a month pre workout now, and I think its kicking in!
As far as the arms today, I didnt over do it since both forearms are aching.
