Co-worker was texting me all through the 12 minute block. Grrrrrr... Overhead squats holding dumbbells is just ridiculous. I'm sure my form was totally off.

got body comp done and did photos...

[Muscletrainerdh]

Okay, so BOdy Comp came back at 14.08% which is -2.05% since 5 weeks ago when it was first done.

7 Site Measures
Triceps 10 (Same)
Pecs 10 (-2mm)
Midaxilla 7 (-7mm) * I think measurer measured lower that the first time
Subscap 10 (-3mm)
Abdomen 17 (-1mm)
Suprailliac 12 (-1mm)
Quads 19 (Same)

Even though the workouts are going well, and I'm feeling more solid. The pics tell a different story, and I'm pretty sure losing 2 points of body fat in 5 weeks is pretty fictious. Especially with how haphazzard my diet has been.

So I think a more realistic assessment would be 15% or 1% loss.

I know I sound obessive, but the last 1 to 2 years my body's preferred fat storage place is in the lower back area. And it's driving me F#CKING CRAZY!

Nah. I have this fat on my upper, inner thigh that is like a little sack of jiggle. Drives me nuts. The rest of my legs are pretty lean.
