I changed a few exercises up and removed some of the original lifts. Most lifts I made some really good gains. I suffered in the legs and is an area I need to make more improvement. During these 13 weeks I actually missed quite a few weeks of doing legs as time did not permit, some pains in my knee (always have some problems) and also sure laziness. I actually had dropped in this area and took me time to just get back to where I was. I realize to make even more gains in other areas I need to get this up to snuff and is something I’m going to be focusing on.

I just finished my tactical bicycle training with the RCMP and will be riding more so hopefully this will aid in this area.

That is it in a nut shell. Blood & Guts is worth doing and would recommend for anybody; thanks Cord.
