Dieting & Staying Strong - Week 2
Dieting & Staying Strong wk2 - 2014wk50
Week 2 of my diet. Dropping some pretty decent weight but still feeling strong. My waistline has dropped 1.75” so far but not much change on the calipers yet so its mostly visceral fat loss as this point. Pleased with the results and will keep at it.

My wife dropped off the kids with me at the gym but they were entertaining themselves well so I got a massage from our practicing masseuse student who was in that afternoon. Found some serious triggers in my piriformis and got my psoas to release. Back pain alleviated. I would love to get a makeup workout in on Sunday but since I’ll be out of town for work most of next week its not gonna happen.
Make sure to visit my sponsor and fellow teammates at EliteFTS.
Hey Chris,
I’ve noticed in quite a few of your logs that you do sets of Curls before your bench press session. Any particular reason for that?
Cheers
Seems to help to get some blood into the biceps before benching. The are done lightly and high volume.
