Upper Body Strength

Could have done the bodyweight exercises today but since this is my strength training portion of the year and my goals are directly related to what I do in this workout, I made sure that I did them. I remended myself about where my focus should be.

Also, I hit 201 on the scale. I know that if I am focusing on strength then I should expect to gain weight due to having more lean muscle mass but since my diet has not been as clean as it could be I am making adjustments. The Pecan pie got thrown out when I got home from the gym. I am wearing my Spartan Unbreakable band again to remind myself about snacking and I am cutting out carbs from my lunches since I don’t need that extra energy. My next cheat day is a week from tomorrow for Thanksgiving.

With 3 Upper Body Strength workout opportunities I am very close to my December 1st strength goals. The plan is to hit the goals and then pause before working on the January 1st goals. Lock in my gains and don’t push forward. Work on more reps without adding load.
