Did some ab work. All could think is, “great now I need to fix this shit”. One hand I was pissed, because I like to do legs with squats, RDLs, deadlifts, etc. On the other hand it will give me a chance to bring up my upper body, which is what I really want any way.

Measurments and goals
Weight: 217.6 lbs (no goal)
BF% estimate (3 site skin fold): 17.15% (10% eventually)
Neck: 16 in (18in)
Shoulders: 51in (54in)
Arm: 15.5in (18in)
Waist 37.5in (34in eventually)
Thigh 24.75 in (28in)
The priority for me is my arms, then legs, then Shoulders/ neck, and lastly waist and BF%. I have no real weight goal as long as the other numbers are reached the weight will be what it will be.
I have no “maxes” to speak of as I am basically detrained. Photos to come as results come.
