Geez, you sure turned a few bad days around pretty quick.
Any idea what your weight’s at now?
Hovering around 180 right now, dropped a few pounds and lost an inch off the waist.
Think I am going to hold on to 180 for a month then shoot for 190 mid holiday season, when the food is bountiful.

Had to make this workout shorter because we were running out of time before church that night. Gotta to keep the right priorities first.
So I have been kinda sick this week, and I missed day 3 and 4 workouts but it’ll be alright.
I am going to Georgia Nov 1 for a week, I am hoping to get like a week free trial to some gym while im down there. Then when I get back I am kicking it up again to attempt to hit 195 before year end, and I got those goals I gotta meet.
Man, keep bulking as hard as you want, it’s going very well for you.
Also I feel really weak seeing your hammer curls. Please tell me you’re cheating a fair bit, because I sure do on those

For my motivation.
This was taken last year before my daughter was born
I never want to look like this again.
Didnt get much sleep after i got off work this morning, so gym didnt happen.
I will go tomorrow instead.
Wife came home excited today, some lady asked her if she was a personal trainer becuase she was using… free weights. Ha
LOL yeah the same thing would probably happen at my gym, I’ve probably seen two girls using free weights and it was just things like curls. Zero girls doing anything like deadlifting or squatting… and only a few guys.
Also, quite an awesome change you’ve made since that picture man. Nice job.
My little Bumble Bee for holloween
Oh yea guess who bottomed out on squats at 315 today

Haha nice Gmoore workout. Some of those machines aren’t bad eh
Found an American Body Works? to get a free workout. It was kind of a strange place. the lights were off and was lit by neon lights with club music, I kept looking for the DJ.
One good thin is I did get to Incline Bench with 100’s.
Hopefully we can find another place to get a 1 free day at tomorrow, before the trip home.

Thanx Yusef, its been a rough road and slot of learning along the way. If it wasn’t for a lot of the wisdom here on the nation and some of you guys keeping me straight I’m sure I wouldn’t be near as far along as I am.
