Im sorry for leaving ya’ll behind brothers. Its been difficult past 4 months, with my motivation disappearing into oblivion. I wasn’t working out as much as I should have and my over all fitness and strength has almost gone away. I strongly believe that the place I was employed at brought me down, destroyed all moral and made me into an unmotivated person.
With the new year, I have a new job that pays for my gym membership and emphasis a healthy life style. This has motivated me into working out again.
With that being said, I’m starting the Arnold Mass building program that I’m going to alter a bit, to include more Dead Lift.

To start off, I joined crossfit for two months while in my absence of SeaLab. I was doing CrossFit three times a week and lifting on my own every Saturday (in general I workout every other day – life schedule tolerating). CrossFit from an endurance aspect was very difficult at first and I was losing weight but I was never under a barbell with anything close to my BW. Long story short, I was losing a vast amount of strength. when I tested my power lifts I as 40lbs weaker. So I cancelled my membership and decided to go back to what I know works – Dan John programming. On top of Mass Made Simple (MMS) I’ll be doing Orange theory with the wife once a week to burn some cals.
Warm regards,
