Trained back solo at Strength Beyond in Kalamazoo. For whatever reason, I was feeling pretty motivated and had a decent workout. I'm weighing around 265lbs right now and still leaning out. I'm 90% sure I won't be doing a show any time soon, but for some reason I'm really motivated with my diet right now and don't seem to have any trouble leaning out. The motivation to diet hard can come and go pretty quickly, so I won't be surprised if it goes away soon...but as it stands, I'm starting to get pretty lean and am thinking about continuing to push my conditioning into "bodybuilding territory" as the summer continues on.
If I get to the point where I'm lean enough to consider a show, I might think about doing a show in the Fall.

I feel like I'm missing something because this felt like a very high workload at the time--and I was about as sore as I ever remember being after a back workout--but it's all I can remember doing looking back.
