So sounds like your goal is a BF reduction while adding some good hard mass?

Thanks!!! I was in denial about how big I really was for a long time.Then I saw a picture of myself and it was not the image I had to say the least. Off to the gym i went and have not looked back since.

Tuesday!!!

Put in an extra 30 minutes of cardio last night but did not do any abs mainly because I hate them. No instant gratification with them because I am still too fat to see them.

Pillar of Balance thanks for taking the time to "bust my balls as needed" !!!

Nope. Never took any video in the gym. I don't even take my phone in because I don't want any distractions. Normally just a pencil and my workout notebook. Might drag my oldest son with me one morning and do that though.
