more chins

light eating day cus I pigged yesterday evening

55 chins in 30 minutes

free free free (at last!)

so I got some free new progenex More Muscle and Recovery from Progenex

really nice of them

I'm sure it works (why else would they send it to me? I know that isn't entirely logical but I am an optimist)

I am keeping a log for the guy who gave it to me

so I am starting out at: 181.6 @ 27.2% BF

my plan is to use the More Muscle each day for 30 days and Recovery after my workouts

note - today is the 13th day in a row I have been using the old progenex again

strength update

so this morning I knocked out 30 chinups in 32 minutes - all with an additional 10 lb dumbell!

getting stronger and stronger!

strength update

so yesterday I did chinups, BUT all with an extra 5 lb dumbell

I did 30 in 32 minutes, 9 sets of 2, the rest singles

then did a close grip chinup with an extra 20 lbs, then another plain one

whoo!

trying to break the 177 plateau by end of next week

strength update

still doing good with chinups

today I did dips with a weight belt - 3 reps with 25 lbs extra!!!

hitting the progenex hard

waiting for my new progenex to come in next week

Minnesota: Not again!

I meant to fast, but we had a visitor from our client site and diet disaster again

to mitigate it, I am fasting tomorrow for my Grandmother's Puja

then 2 ketel one gibsons

soup and bread

2 scoops of ON whey
scoop of Biotest Superfood

so I woke up, another 0.6 lbs lighter

had a decent back workout, threw in some bent over lateral raises to work the anterior delts

threw down a Progenex MM + Recovery
