Well, my brother sent me a link for the leg/squat workout. It focuses on time for squats. The goal is to squat a certain weight for 8 minutes straight. So, I started it today and with a slight modification, will be doing it.
The first couple of workouts as read, is to start off easy to to become use to the idea of time squating. So it was not extremely hard, yet!

Mixed it up a bit, but stay with the first two main exercises for the back. Made gains on both. For deads, I just did 2 sets, but standing on a plate for added range of motion. Also, sticking with lighter weight and buring out. For the next couple of months while doing deads, I plan on not doing less than 8 reps with any weight. Hoping to really work it, and protect the back!

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.
