Chest and tricep workout:

Solid workout today and made some gains. I didn't go as heavy on the flat db press due to my low back stiff/soreness from yesterdays squating. I tweak something and getting the bigger db in place can be a pain, no pun intended. Anywho, I worked up to 95's instead of the 110's. Did higher reps and all was good.

POW, blasted dem quads this morning, and first thing in the morning workout.

The hits keep on coming. Solid workout to the new round. The pump was instant this time, as I think the increased dose of PRIME is kicking in, as that is the only change in the supplements.

Solid workout today and it was pure focus. Just simply felt good throughout the entire workout, and the gains showed. I did switch out the db deads for regular deads, but I did them standing on two 45# plates. So that was an extra 2.5 inches. Man, that extra range took the wind out of me.

Good workout today, nothing to exciting. Tempo was fast and happy with the starting numbers. Bicep strength continues to improve. Brought back two movements I have not done in a long time!

Mighty good workout today and brought back the front squats. New round and Ouch!, after laying off of them for over two months, it was a challenge to get them going again. Faster tempo training, and my legs got a nice pump. Looking forward to increasing the Numbers next time out.

Sunday the 8th: Rest Day 25 min moderate cardio

Back and hammies:

Due to a strange work schedule today, I trained very early. Had to get it in.
Since it was back day with heavy deads, I knew that was not going to happen, as almost every morning I am stiff. So I keep the same movements, but did the deads last and on a plate for added range. I actually made gains on the pullups and most of the entire workout. Picked up steam at the end and finished with ab work.

All in all in two months, body weight has dropped 10 pounds. No reflections on strength as most of it is body fat reduction.

Energy was high and it was a solid workout. Made some gains, but nothing to exciting today. The chest dips keep on improving, but most likely due to losing a few pounds. Pump was on so all is well.

Nice finish to this round aa all the workouts were solid. Just one more time through, then I will do a new version of the 4 days rotation.

March Changes"
Diet is pretty much the same.
Cardio is increased by 1 more sprint and minute to the steady state. So I am at 10 sprints every 5th day, and doing 17 min ss.
Supplement, going to bring back Powerfull and AP by USP Labs.
Happy with the results so far and just going to continue to plug away.
