Hi Chris!

Get it fellas!!! #PLAMF (pumped like a MoFo! :-) )

Heading to GNC tonight to pick up my wife's multi-vitamin, some Gold Standard protein & another tub of DNS Cardio Cuts. I'm REALLY liking this stuff! Unfortunately (kind of lol) my wife is loving it as well. I only say that because it's not cheap ... so i've switched to only taking it on days when I'm only doing cardio. She takes it daily for the thermogenic. I'd like to do the same but i'm being a bit cost-conscious about it so i'm gonna look for a similar product to try when at GNC tonight.

I'm starting to feel like this deload week is helping me recover. I'm gonna get some light cardio in tonight after bball practice of the season.

Move that weight, Tom!!!

I felt like I wanted to lift ytrdy but figure that I've already abstained for 5 days so I might as well go the full 7.
