Excellent Chest Power Day...I almost felt like I was back to the normal luke again! And I mean WOW on the DB Bench! Only the 2nd time doing them in 5+ years and I could already bang out the 115's! I am already falling in love with this movement again! I see the 145's in the future months!! And I did some semi heavy weighted dips, had been a while since I did any of those as well. Everything felt pretty good.

Good to see you are feeling normal, well as normal as we can feel

Solid work throwing around those 115's! Get ready to dust those 145's off, not many people touch those.

First of all I want to make it clear. Alberto is very handsome.

Secondly, I do see a difference. Just not as much as I would like to see considering how hard I know you have been working. Track those macros, and finish strong bro.

[CoLDddd]

Look really good in those pics, i'll assume your trying to lean out?

Yes...he is indeed!

No ya dont, its ok...I had to take a lot time off from dieting and training for about 10 days while I was in the moving process, things are finally coming together though. The last 10 days will be money!
