Better choice would be steel cut oats,..then add sugar free maple syrup, zero calorie spray butter and a dash of salt.

i usually switch up exercises every workout never do the same workout twice. sometimes i go high reps sometimes low reps. sometimes drops sets supersets giant sets it depends. but i have been ending my workouts with a exercise i do for 7 sets with only 30 seconds rest between sets for a wicked pump. like for back today i did cable rows with a v bar and triceps i did standing rope extensions.
