Just an odd question; why do you have a scar along your pec line?
Looks like a Tx (transplant) scar or open body cavity scar.
Either way great that you decided to start a journal, it’ll help in the long run.

Haven’t posted in a while…

Figure I’ll put an update…

I finshed up 16 weeks of the program I was on and have moved to the 10x3 FFL for two reasons:

1.) Muscle Confusion… although my previous program was a 4 week cycle and varied, I figure after 4 cycles I had definitely plateaued in any gains.

2.) I was just bored. Bored = less effort = fat.

I’m not going to post my previous week as those familiar with the regiment will know where I am.

I’m on to your evil plan :slight_smile:
