Some of the measurements were substantially different so I believe I recorded them incorrectly. Regardless a waist size of 36+ inches is unacceptable in my opinion.

Waist: 34"
Thighs: 28"
Calves: 16.5"

Overall I am very happy with the progress and will be updating with pictures asap. I really enjoy having this log as it provides a concrete comparison to the past.

I have been experimenting with the diet lately and have settled with around 6 meals with 75g carbs and 40g protein with very little added fat. Some random low-no carb days on non-training days will be added. Running is still the main form of cardio and as I will be graduating soon I will be on a more permanent and livable sleep schedule, which I suspect will allow me to lean down considerably. With all things considered I am pleased. The Goal now is to continue to add mass to the upper body and create more of a v taper and smaller waist.

3.5 Mile run

Recently have been doing all exercises without a belt. It is amazing how weak my core is on all these lifts. I will continue to slowly increase the poundages back to prior training levels but the ego hit sucks. Stopped one rep short on the DL today due to lower back issues. Need to do hypers, bird dog and supermans.

I seem to be responding well to the decrease in volume and have been resting between 1 and 2 mins between sets. The separation of cardio and weight training seems to be beneficial as runs continue to get faster.
