Net lost since July 18th: 12.25 inches. The end of this week will be 10 week of cutting and to be honest I am pretty pleased with the results I am getting. This is the first time I’ve tried to cut weight sparing as much lean muscle. I’ve gone on diets to lose weight before, but they were a “lose weight at all cost” approach. I am pleased, but I could do better. We all could do better.
I am “hungry” for more

I’ve sort of switched up my training schedule for the moment. For the time being, I am only training 5 day a week. I am now training Tuesday through Saturday with the middle day (Thursday) being my lats and biceps day and Sunday and Monday as off days. Kind of been feeling like I need/like having an extra day of rest. I’ll see how it goes. It’s in my curious nature to tinker.

^ x 4

BICEPS
Today I wanted to crush my biceps in a short amount off time. I feel like if I do this I get an better overall training segment, so I pre-fatigued with a barbell curl because of the overall biceps stimulation and because I have trouble stimulating the short heads of my biceps. I did this segment as a circuit resting only as much as I needed to and used the same weight for every movement.
Prefatigue - Barbell drag curl x 8 - 10 hard squeeze at peak contraction
A1. Rev. DB Curl x 12
A2. DB Hammer Curl x 12
