Not bad. My diet, work and bring sic this week is really holding me back. I leave for 1 on1 time with wife tomorrow. Rekindling the fire... That's what it called right? 10yr anniversary and some much needed alone time.

Truthfully I need more help from a PT or someone experience d to workout with. I think I need more body mass in my upper body to make my chest have definition and strict diet/mass to see these abs.

I like following your log cause your workouts show progress.

Shameless plug. Www.bossbody.net and facebook.com/bossbodycoach for all your training nutrition and contest prep needs

[Montego1]

No shame in here Matt plug away. Today is back blasting. Max Pump, Ignite 2, Crea-Trona and BCAA SAA pre workout. BCAA SAA intra.

How do you like the bcaa saa combo. I had a few samples not enough to judge effectiveness though?

I'm convinced. Recovery time is drastically reduced.

This. A lot of people don't believe in SAA's but I've been using them for a while now and I'm a firm believer that they do aid in recovery quite dramaticly.

Make up day for chest. My outer pecs are supps from the dumbbell pullovers yesterday. Good stuff

[Montego1]

Well I went in today to make up for stopping my chest workout the other day when my shoulder freaked out. Warmed up and felt good but my first set on flat bench testing it under a bit of a load didn't feel good at all. Dropped the weights dramatically today and hit higher reps with two count contractions.

Good Pump though

Tears are salty.

Just laid out at the pool for about an hour and a half. Luckily I avoided getting sun burnt too. I never really tan but I get a nice shade of red was sweating a ton though....this Texas humidity stinks.

It's a constant struggle for me. Last year I actually got something resembling a tan but it was short lived lol.

Lol your head probably burns pretty easily! Better cover that bad boy up

[Montego1]

I actually put a towel over my head to avoid this. It burnt pretty bad one time when I first shaved it to the point of having huge scabs. Yeah it's gross but it taught me a good lesson

[Montego1]

I just had my oatmeal delight.....half cup oatmeal, splenda and two tbsp natural peanut butter. I looooove this stuff!

Dinner was two chicken breasts and nothing else since I was gonna have the oatmeal.

Sounds good dude. I do something pretty similar and love it. 1/2 cup steel cut oats, Splenda, cinnamon, and 1 tbs of almond butter. It's fuggin awesome!

[Montego1]

Oh its good stuff. But like most of my other meals iits usally the same stuff. Chicken and rice. Tuna and rice. Oatmeal. Mesquite Chicken. Teriaki chicken. My wife hates ALL of those foods now lol. She can tell what I'm making as soon as I open whatever bag/cup it is. She has a keen sense of smell

[Montego1]

Well fellas off to bed. Downed my nightly G8 and BCAA+SAA about twenty minutes ago. Feel on top of the world!

[wasme]

Hmmm, going to have to try both of those ... almost snack time!

[Montego1]

Had a very rare two day rest this weekend. Lifted Friday morning then spent Friday Saturday and Sunday at the pool with the wife and kids. Although I escaped a sunburn the first two days yesterday I got a liittle crispy on my stomach and calves. I never really tan but I get a decent shade of red Work this morning and hopefully I can get to the gym this afternoon and get some work in. Diet this weekend was pretty bad but the family time more then made up for it
