Arms today. Gym was PACKED for some reason this morning. Felt like everything I went to do someone was using. Had to sub out a couple things so I wasn't just standing around waiting on stuff to get used. Pump was absolutely ridiculous today.

I may be going out on a limb and speaking too early but Flexible seems to doing its job. No elbow pain what so ever during arms today. Knees and ankles seemed super stiff during sprints. I may start trying to get some running outside in soon.

Thank you GB. The ultimate goal for me right now is to try to get down in the 12% range an maintain it for a while before making any bulk/cut decisions. I kinda wanted to be there by the 3rd week of July (anniversary trip) but I don't think That's realistic. Not gonna stop though.

Great composition changes Dan!!! Your hard work is very evident in those progress pics-

Thanks ill ditch it. I wasn't aware it was worse than real butter. I guess I just assumed since it was half the cals it was better. Lesson learned. And thanks for the kind words Liz

Holy waistline trimmage boss (referring to progress pics). You're kicking ASS, and there's no other way to state it. Good to know that the journey has only yet begun though. Can't wait to see you in another 6 weeks. You're gonna be lean and mean. Hell yeah!

thats fine from a propaganda standpoint, but it makes no sense scientifically. So many things are 1 atom different from another substance totally different. For instance, the difference between water (H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one atom of oxygen. One is necessary for life, you will die if you drink the other.

Whats wrong with margerine is hydrogenated vegetable oil. But in the end, used in moderation, is really a (IMO) negligable difference health wise to butter. Butter tastes better though.

True that - I'd heard that said before but never looked into it (Invalid Link Removed) . (I just figured it probably had something to do with the materials used in production being similar- margarine never seemed quite right to me)

I've never liked margarine to begin with ... to me margarine is to butter what veggie burgers are to real hamburgers

Nah man, we're swimming in the same waters. Progress is hard to compare when starting from different baselines. Sometimes I look at some of these other cats and doubt I'll reach their level (snags, monte, bean5er, breezy, etc...) but it gives me something to shoot for.
You and I are on the same journey, and I'm pulling for you buddy.

Couldn't agree with you more. I look at those guys, and wonder if it is even possible.. but just makes me work harder - doesn't hurt to try!
