That was me trying to make up for friday’s failed workout. Wasn’t the best one I’ve ever had, it was sort of a last minute thing I just randomly decided to do but it felt good when I was done.

When I first started eating alot and spruced up my diet to alot more calories then I’m usually used to, I also had that eating problem. Just gotta force it. Don’t forget to get alot of sleep with all that training. Also keep watch of that fat percentage cause with tryin new amounts of calories is dangerous! That belly will sneek up on you like crazy.

Also can we see some pics?

I missed my friday workout, I got screwed over by work and I also missed a bachelor party I was supposed to go. However, I’m pretty sure it worked out for the better as my lower back has been fairly sore lately and can go a week without the deadlifts.

I felt something weird in my neck today, I dunno what I did. It just felt odd, and I was really iffy about doing shrugs after so I decided to pass on it, as I would rather hold off on it than risk injuring myself.

Thanks man!

Honestly though, I have no clue. I don’t mind if I’m a little higher but nothing over 16% really.
I just think it would be sick to step on a scale one day and tip 300lbs while not being a complete lardass
