I only did a half work out today, I was feeling dizzy and sick halfway into the split squats.
Weigh in day - 178 up from 176.5
I am pleased with the gains, getting to 180 alot fasterthan I thought.
So some how my sole camera went through a cycle in the wash machine. I was very frustrated, so progress pics might be delayed.
