OVERVIEW
Everything went according to plan. I'm getting a little bored of HST and I don't know If I want to finish off the month on 12's. I'm getting very anxious about putting on some weight and trying a DC workout. And after that working on Strength Endurance training, which I would love to do a journal for.
Not only that I'm going to Vegas soon and all that food just waiting to be eaten, I just don't know if I should continue to cut. Decisions, decisions.

No workout today. My girlfriend wanted to take me out to dinner and I had a bad day at work so I'll make up for it on Wednesday.

I feel you on the HST boredom factor, especially when doing it for soooo long. If you ARE interested in DC Training, I can help. As I've already given Hrdgain, I'll email you the spreadsheet I used when doing it and a megaton of info regarding the training. When I say megaton, I mean 59 pages I've collected over the years.

In my opinion, I prefer nothing short of an upper/lower split. It's really easy to rotate in and out rest/pausing, statics, O-Lifts, Powerlifting-specific movements, Tempo contrasts, ect all wrapped up in a nice undulating fashion. I'm just throwing that out there because I really don't care for anything "name brand". I think I sent you my take on DFHT a short while ago. It's a superior template to go off of.

OVERVIEW
Well it's over. I'm finaly done. I will give the final numbers later.

OK so I'm down to 201.5 and ~10%bf with a 7 point clapper. Not my best numbers but not that bad.

What I thought:
Well I think I would change up some of the exercises more so I wasn't bored with it at the end. My motivation went down after the first two months. I was thinking next time doing HST for the first 2 months like before and then maybe shift to a Max OT or maybe the Strength-Endurance system for a change up for the last month or so. Also, I will start my cutting earlier so my "beach bod" can be done closer to July than August.

Also I will most definitely add Yohimbe to aid in cutting.
Now it's time to lift heavy again.

I liked everything but like I said before, I got bored and just lost some motivation.
