Thanks guys...that's much appreciated.
I guess I have a pretty good base because of lifting in the past...although I never got very strong. I just got a meal plan & workout plan together a couple of months ago and it has obviously made a huge difference. Also, last year I didn't do any barbell lifts really...everything was dumbells.
My body has kind of started to transform the past few weeks. It's awesome...I've actually gotten a few comments about it lately. I can really tell a difference in the development of several specific areas.
I've been enjoying your journals too. Keep it up!
