I was having an AWESOME workout tonight and on a roll when I heard over the loudspeaker..."THE GYM WILL BE CLOSING IN 10 MINUTES". Pretty lame that my workout was cut short. Teach me to wait until 8:45 to go the gym.

I was asked to wait from a friend who wanted to lift. I waited all day and he finally had the courtesy to call me in the late afternoon to say he couldn't make it. By the time I got to the gym, they were locking up. I should have gone the next day, but I didn't... LAME. I will know better next time. He is on his own if he can't make it to the gym on MY time.

Got a new bodyfat reading last night - 22.5%!!! That is down from 28.5% a little over a month ago. 6% down. I know that the higher the number, the easier it is to lose, but I am still heartened by my progress. Next month it will be under 20%. Hopefully under 18%.

Congrats !! That's a huge change regardless of how high it was.


On a side note, whats up with my chest, you're rocking 35lb DB's on arnold press, Im using 40/45.

But for bench, you're at 195 and I'm not even at 8reps of 150lbs yet. My chest has always lagged despite me never missing chest day, and always doing flat bench and incline bench. Weird how the body works like that eh? Goes to show you how different we all are. I'm gonna switch it up and try flat DB pressing next.

I've really enjoyed watching your progress, Ryan. Even before I gave in an registered I was
"subbed!" Keep it up man, you should be really proud of yourself.

I apologize if this has been asked already, but what mph are you going at during your 30m cardio?

No worries man... I JUST started doing those Arnold Presses so I was taking it easy. Within a couple of weeks I will be up there in weight.

I actually do something a little different for my cardio.
5min @ 3.5mph
1:1 for 10min @ 3.5mph / 7.5mph
13min @ 3.5mph
2min @ 7.5mph

I like to add the interval training in there. I REALLY feel it!
