mustang0341 said:ok so diet sat and sunday was not the best, as to be expect when the in-laws are cooking. Ranchers and everything is made in excess with lots of carbs and sodium. Came out of the weekend 4lbs up but lost 3 of it today. Fell asleep on my phone so I slept through my alarm for 40mins, ARRGH...totally ruined my gym time. Not a good way to start the day. Instead of my normal chest workout I did a simple Pyramid and some biceps curls to get a good pump followed by a 1.5mile run at 8.5 min/mile pace. The only good thing out of the deal was the weight felt light today and I put up 245 for 4 reps on bench a (PR), I think 2004 was the last time I put up 245lbs so that was sweet!!

Supp Notes:
Have horizontal veins popping in my biceps!!! Had one pop my last run on Anabeta/Erase but now I have three in the left bicep and two in the right. (Never had those in my life!!) They are small veins but they stand up when I squeeze the rep. Shoulders and upper chest are looking alot thicker too.

My diet needs to tighten up too. My wife's restaurant had a makeover and the grand opening was this week. They had a test run this weekend and I literally ate everything on the menu.
mustang0341 said:off day today so I did a bit of cardio. Weight is back up to 199lb as of tonight (most likely 197 in the morning) but my waist is smaller. Still seems as though I am carrying some the same amount of fat on the lower abs. Getting more vascular too which is nice as well as tightening of the muscles.

10min walking incline
10min run = 2miles total
Diet:
2545kcals 189p/85c/168f
bfast: (post-w)shake w/ almond milk, almonds
