[Thoughts]
I felt pretty weak during the AM workout but the dumbbell squeeze press wasn’t bad. Definitely felt something in my pecs for once. I’m extremely stir crazy in the evenings and figured I would do some active recovery which is followed immediately by one of my meals. I’ll just have to incorporate active recovery workouts and see how they affect me.

It feels like I strained my right achilles tendon and calf. Hurts to walk and there are shooting sharp pains if I stretch it even a little dang it. My weight isn’t dropping very fast this week. I will probably decrease the length of my carb up this weekend.

1 Hour hard cardio
[Thoughts]
I went pretty light on the drag curls since my biceps are still very sore and my left shoulder was bothering me quite a bit during both types of pull-downs. This training template may be too much for my body to handle. My weight is not dropping like normal either. I’m not sure if I’ll be continuing with fat loss or change it to a maintenance or even a muscle building program.
