PROGRESS PHOTO:

Weight: 229-230 on any given day. Snapped this the other day at the start of all these Tabatas. I think I gained a little in the shoulders and chest. No surprise. You can't do a month of 1-arm pushups and not do something to your chest and delts. Interesting to see what this round of Tabatas does. It is still 90% nutrition, but giving up .5-1% bodyfat to do easy 500lb deadlifts and easy 1-arm pushups is not a bad trade.
