20 min light-med jogging post workout.

Took T-Alpha about 1 hour and 45 before warm-up. sh** came up.

Felt iron-chewing hunger when I started workout; nothing like i've felt before. Tri's felt like they were growing every rep. Biceps on the other hand were weaker than expected; it was hard to get every rep. Felt pretty blah on Hammers.

-Close-grip was explosive, intense pumping, definitely came from T-ALPHA
-I'll definitely try getting started no longer than 1 hour after ingestion next time.

Don't plan on doing a real cut, until about a month out. Sounds insane but I gotta plan and if I stay on track I'll lose over 20lbs of fat when its over. While gaining muscle. Right now weights are going up every week like clock work and weight is coming off. I plan on continuing my old routine POWER week then HYPERTROPHY week. I don't want to spare any muscle to win a cut, you know bro.

I put in rest time between sets, trying to be more strict with time to better track progression. I was a little gassed after 2nd set of Incline bench, accidently put bench at 30 degree instead of 15 that I usually do today so weight went down a little. I had a great pump throughout workout and was able to get 30 minutes of quality cardio postworkout. So far so good the the T-Alpha...
