Weekly Update
Not much has changed since Monday workout day. For the most part here's the breakdown:
• Drinking an average of a gallon and a half of water per day.
• Been sleeping an average of 6 hours.
• Increasing protein intake to around 180 grs.
• Have not noticed an increase in my appetite, perhaps extra protein will do the trick?
• Was going to workout today but I have a busy day/evening. Moving workout for Saturday as I am going to workout with a friend.

Agreed! I miss having a workout partner, it does indeed help keep you honest.

Monday, April 30th 2012
• Water intake today was around 1.5 gallons before the gym. After my workout and through the rest of the evening I plan on drinking the other half.
• Got around 6 hrs. of sleep last night.
• I feel that the Halo has definitely kicked in! No lack of energy throughout the day while at work.
• Epic workout! Shoulders, triceps and biceps were toast. Today's pump was insane.
• Normally my workouts last between 30 to 45 minutes but today I was much more focused, so by the time I finished my triceps work 45 minutes had already gone by. As soon as I started to warm up the biceps and began training them I felt a "second wind" kick in. For the next 20 minutes I got such a pump that I was not able to touch my shoulders at all when flexing my arm.
• I have only gained about 2 pounds since I started my Halo but I am much more defined and my muscles look fuller and feel harder. In addition to proper hydration the Halo has made a difference with my body fat ratio. I will get my body fat checked at the end of the cycle to see where I will end up at. I didn't take a measurement at the beginning but based on my pics I calculate that I was around 10 to 12% body fat.

Today was:
Shoulders - Triceps - Biceps

Dumbbell lateral raises (warm up)					3	15
