Defo cutting at the end of this month - need to lean up a bit I think

Forgot to say - using the PHD V-Max Pump courtersey of Monster Supplements as a trial for them and on the shoulder work and incline DB bench I got so pumped that I was struggling to bench/press fully!  Never used a pump product that has worked so well!  Crazy trap and shoulder veins as I pressed too with some good striations as I raised/pressed .  Also get a good focus and it seems i'm able to get a few more reps out with it.  

Defo recommended - the Berry Blast tastes like strawberry sherbet and only the tiniest bitter taste as its drunk.  Really nice - much tastier than the Boditronics pre-wo pump product.

Somehow managed to bruise the base of my spine.  No outer bruising but i've got two sore spots under the skin (not in the muscle/tendons etc) just to the right of my spine.  Odd.

owwwww! bruising of the spine...Arnica gel is great for reducing swelling and bruising. I used it after a serious op a couple of years ago, it worked wonders! get it from H & B, about 10/12 pounds.

Hope you're ok and all going well.

You didn't want to walk tomorrow did you ?

Met Emma James at the weekend, what a smashing lady!

I find regardless of how hard I hit my legs, no doms.  Ever.  But the ****ers won't stop growing.  36" waist and i'm having to buy some some 40/42" waist trousers and jeans to fit my legs in.  I'm never gonna look like Trey Brewer but fcuk me, my legs are getting big - if i don't wear boxers my thighs rub like anyone's business and if do I get clothing burn.  Glad i'm cutting soon so i'll free some space in my trousers up LOL!

How nice is Emma tho eh?  She's such a nice person and always willing to talk and give some good advice - when I was training with (or I should say by her) we spent ages chatting about lifting and how to improve my shoulder.

Did you mention me when you met Emma?  Doubt you did (I mean why? lol) but its a small world that we revolve in!  I'm going to Bodypower so no doubt i'll see you and come say hi with Mama with me .  

She's LOVELY! Very knowledgeable as well

Didn't get to chat to her much as the Seminar was sooo busy, she gave a really good talk on Body Image, very interesting lady.

Will be cool to meet you & Mama

Cheers Luv xx

Know I defo need to cut now - walking up stairs is become a chore and i'm sick of my legs not fitting in any of my jeans or trousers

Like the fact that i'm doing some heavy ass weights (for me anyway) but who gives a fcuk about what you lift, its about what you look like you can lift.

Are you following a Keto diet again? You certainly got some good results on your last cut, have been a long time reader of your journal; was running when I was on here posting under a different alias around 2years ago!
