I have 3 week out and I wish it was sooner. Alot of people ask how I keep lifting so heavy and be 3 weeks out ? Well I have a drive and a goal to Win and nothing less, there is NO room for WEAKNESS. Cardio is back in my life for a bit so I rode my BMX to gym then back home this friday and seen my roommate playing basketball at the school and played a game of 1 on 1 to 10 points. My diet is at about 2800 2900 cals now and I can say I like that move . Time to get Freaky Ripped.
