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.

Chest and arms:
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.
