Didn't update in a while but my lifts remained roughly the same which is good. I finished my 3 months on the RP diet template and I'm very pleased. Down almost 20lbs. Going to do 3 months of maintenance and repeat it until I get down to lower BF%.

Wow, about 15 months since I posted! I took a year and a half and did physique type work from the Renaissance Periodization people. Lost most of my strength but dumped some body fat and weight and look a lot better. Also had some issues during Harvey and some break-ups so my brain was all over.

Thinking of getting back on Andy's Powerbuilding plan after the next 4-5 weeks of cutting so I can get a bit stronger again.
