Day.....2...
13 May, 02..
yeha, I've been bad. Get my days off, get busy doing other things...necessary, but got in the way of my going to the gym..

Back:
SLDL:
135*15, 225*10, 225*10, 225*9

Pull-Downs (Wide):
100*15, 150*12, 180*8, 180*6

Close Grip Cable Rows:
150*12, 180*10, 180*10

Time.
* Weights are WAY off from what was doing at begining of year.
Hopefully, couple more weeks and will be back on par.
** Took longer than wanted, was stretching and massaging ligaments in between sets, as to let them stretch adn relax to keep them from further injury.
***was actually looking foward to running at work tonight, but seems I took my bag out of my car the other day and forgot to put it back in..so no cardio.

Ok, I taped myself this Saturday. Didn't like what it said. I've gone up a couple % in BF and down in size.
Will have to compare to where I was earlier with exact data, but goes like this:

Weight: 185lbs
Height: 5'9" (at least that hasn't changed...)
Left Bicep: 13"
Right Bicep: 13.5"
Chest: 40"
Waist: 34.5"

As I recall, in December, my chest was 41 - 42", my arms were 14" both. (I used to bitch about my small 14" arms...now I am gonna have to bust ass just to get abck to that damn point!)

I'm embarrassd to take the pics..let alone post them...
