Notice your strength dropping or not progressing?

Your diet is extremely poor. And if you plan on using steroids as well, then you really need to get this part of your program in order first.

You need to balance out your meals.

How many cals do you eat in a day?

	Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. Michael Jordan
