Body Composition Update
Been using this Program for 11 weeks so far and the results are:

Bodyfat Percentage (3 site method, which has a +,-2% error)
2%
Lean Body Mass:
177.3 (which is an increase in 6.3lbs of muscle!)

Thoughts/Review
Overall lately i am pretty satisfied with my results...6lbs of muscle in 11 weeks is awesome considering i spent the first 3 weeks deloading....I contribute my results to watching over my nutrition carefully....Although i do feel the little bit of cheating i have been doing lately has been adding to my increase of lean body mass
I have been training super hard...I was very pleased with squats this week....feels good to do 4 plates again with no belt and all the way to the ground
Today when i was doing my Dips/Pullups which i believe is changing my physique i noticed my chest is taking on a different look...could it be because of the breathing pullovers or the added dips but either way i am making some big moves finally!!!

Here is a pic i took on my new phone...bad lighting but you can see how fat i got...it must be my girlfriends homemade tacos and the extra slices of pizza! (take note of the ab veins) :D
