This was my strongest chest workout so far in the last 4 months. I also decided I had been lifting my legs too heavy, and I wasn't working correctly through a full range of motion, so I lowered those weights
Wednesday
Took some photos, I will post them in the photos section, I had one from very early in my weight loss phase that I'll post too. I consider myself just in the early stage of muscle gain now, and not too unhappy with where I am now.

(wasn't satisfied with the gym workout on my biceps so I did what I could with the one dumbbell I have at home)
My workout buddy is changing gyms on me and wanted me to show her some free weight exercises in case the machines at the new gym is busy so I didn't end up having much time to work on my own stuff, and I ended up doing a lot of miscellaneous arm exercises not part of my routine. I really want to try deadlifts after reading around but I'm afraid to do it incorrectly.
Thursday
Well, I didn't get home today until 8PM, I was pissed, didn't feel like running, so I came home and pounded a double protein shake. On a positive note, my creatine and dextrose arrived today, and I'm going to start making my own celltech type mix here soon.
Going to do some powerball to work out the forearms but that's about it. 15k run on sunday, hope I can complete it smoothly.
Hmm, Powerball sucked, I have a deep bruise in the palm of my right hand, makes gripping anything very difficult, I have some time to recover it though so not too worried
Friday
Weight: 177 or 177.8 lb scale sucks 0.2lb precision but 1lb fluctuation between two consecutive weighings. I'll believe the 177.8 since I want to be growing right now =)
Day Off
Saturday
Special Occassion, Ate and ate yum yum, didn't care about weight.
