Workout Journal Notes

There’s no doubt that “Maximum Strength” is living up to its name, as I easily hoisted up my maxed-out 50-pound PowerBlocks for Dumbbell Presses today, which means it time for an upgrade!

I even used near maximum weight on Dumbbell Rows for over a dozen combined reps.

I get more excited every day as I near the beginning of the 4th and final Phase, all while loving every minute of my new ketogenic diet!
