Notes

I was slightly hungover yesterday.  I performed this workout completely fasted around 3:30 p.m. (coffee/coconut oil, fish oil, and multi).  It took about 90 minutes.  Warming up, my wrists and shoulders hurt.  So this is actually week 6.  Last week I redid week 4 because my original week 4 got fucked up from the move and new job.  Anyways, I had zero desire to do anything heavy.  As will happen in the later weeks of an intense routine, my joints are feeling a little beat up.

So I decided to just get some solid reps in.  Before I knew it I was chasing after a total upper body pump haha.  It felt great.  The high reps are working.  My upper body is noticeably thicker.  I also just feel more powerful. I really should have focused on arm work a long time ago.  Heavy presses and rows are a lot easier when you have pistons for arms.  I don't know why I never really thought about it like that.

I took a couple of pics post workout. I'm bloated as fuck in these and the light washes out my pasty ass body.  I think I would look considerably more jacked if I were black.

These pics also tell me I'm on the precipice of actually being lean.  I'd guess I'm around 12-13% BF here.  The number one problem with my diet is I drink too much.
