Monday will be my primary day and will be doing heavy basic lifts with a couple isolation exercises.

6) low to high cable crossover- 30lbsx15,40lbsx15,45lbsx12,45lbsx12

7) seated calf raise- (on this seated calf raise I use 45lbs plates cause of how the machine is designed the plates won't hit the floor in full stretched position)(45lbsx30)135lbsx15,180lbsx12,190lbsx10,190lbsx10 drop set 90lbsx25!!
Overall great workout!! Pump was insane!! Love the wide neutral grip lat pulldowns. The stimulation I get in the belly of my lat from this hand position is insane.

Day 64- wake up 8:30am. BP 127/73. Just finished the 9th week of cycle and feel amazing! Here is the progress I have made in 9 week.
1) Weight- 5/28- 207lbs 7/29- 218.6lbs. Added 11.6 quality pounds!!
2) Skin fold measurements- 5/27 chest-4, abs-9, quad-5. Total 18mm. 7/29 chest-4, abs-7, quad-4(it is more like 3.5 but will wait till it's a solid 3 before I count it) Total 15mm. Dropped a total of 3mm in 9 weeks!!
3) Strength- In comparison to my baseline workout my strength has improved significantly. For me this is a tough one to
quantify because of injuries but I can tell you with 100% certainty that my strength is the area where I have made the greatest improvements! I know my body and strength and the way I handle weight that once was a challenge in the 6-8 rep range is now a weight I can do for 15 and for some exercises 20 reps!!!
4) mirror assessment- the 11.6lbs is very apparent but the vascualrity and my lines have improved as well. The tie ins are continuing to improve and I know this may sound crazy but I see a difference everyday!!! like most people that have been in this game for some time always see areas of improvement.
5) Areas that need improvement- the two areas that I believe need the most improvement is chest and quads! I will be making a plan for these areas for next 6 weeks!
6) Things I have learned from this cycle thus far- Nutrition is EVERYTHING!! I don't need crazy doses to get amazing results!!! No matter what I take my results will be determined by how FOCUSED I AM!! Nothing is more important then your focus and determination. You can't stay disciplined with your nutrition if your not focused and determined. You will


not push yourself in the gym if your not focused and determined. There is no compound or supplement that can do this for you!!
I have ordered my bloodwork but will have to push back when I can get blood drawn till next sat 8/5 cause of work obligations. Will post results once they come in. Thank you for reading!
