Let the bulking begin! Pwr_Machine's Training Log

[pwr_machine]

Thanks Liftbig and Sinjinsmythe33. Everyone clueing me in on what to think about helped. I wasn't near as explosive as usual, but my brain was thinking about all those little things and I think that slowed me down a bit. It'll take some getting used to.

That's the price you have to pay to be one of the big boys.

All of your gains sound solid.

You've still got a ways to go on that one.

I just stepped on our digital scale here at the office. I'm up to 272, and hopefully bf % is decreasing.
