Workout Program:
Right now we are training with a good mix of heavy and shock. Shock includes higher rep sets, pre-exhaustion and supersets. There is no such thing as light. Heavy includes reps in the 3-6 range on big compound movements. Lean mass is the goal right now for the next several weeks.

Dropped under 140 again. Currently at 138, woohoo! Went jeans shopping yesterday and had to get a size 8 cause my legs wouldn't fit in anything smaller, but they're huge on my hips haha. Oh well, that's what belts are for I guess!

So my brother got a pass for downtown this summer. I think I might do that too instead of using OSU's rec centers. I'm pretty excited.

That would be cool but take it easy on me. I am still young and inexperienced lol. Just trying to do good at a local show hoping to persue a pro card at sometime when I am bigger and feel more confident in my show condition. But it would be cool to see you on stage
