 I was keeping my journal in 2 places and it got to be a pain in the arse so I just have been doing it on another forum (not a lifting/training forum at all, just a general chat forum with a fitness section). Wilson, or anyone else, if you'd like to see it just PM me and I'll send you the link to it. Last time I weighed in I was at 178. Still working on leaning out but getting there, making progress. Still haven't maxed my bench but my work sets are going up consistently, squatting 315 for reps regularly, deadlift is up to 475 and possibly higher the next time I have fresh legs. (I play soccer the night before) Last picture I took trying to fake like I'm big or something, lol.

thanks  right now I just need to finish getting rid of the fat around my midsection and I'll be a happy camper... not sure if that is 10 or 15 pounds but I'd like to get pretty lean then put on some more lean mass
