Chest and Tri's:

Made few gains today from last workout, and did triceps dips for the first time in months! The holdback on the dips was from the shoulders hurting. Felt good.

Quads and Calves:

The lower back is tight and sore from the deads a couple of days ago. So, instead of doing really high reps on the leg press, I used 15 reps as the mark. All in all a great intense quad workout.

Rest Day!

Check in:
BW: 161
BF hand held: 10.6 percent
Calipers: 4.8

Strange that the weight is up a pound and so the hand held bf reflects that also.
But the good news, is that the calipers were down a full mm for 3 weeks ago. Not going to worry about it, just plugging along.
Regardless, I will be making a change in the diet. I am going to carb cycle a little bit. The big change will be less carbs on my rest days, keeping them the same on all other workout days with the exception of when I do delts or arms where there will be a slight drop.
