I came up with the crazy idea of trying to make 190lbs, but really I am starting to wonder what the fuck am I thinking. It would be a great goal, but I will look very small at this weight, the only reason I wanna do it is for a highland games and be able to qualify for the 190lb nationals. But honestly I am a strongman and a powerlifter, I like the highland games alot and will be doing more of them but is it really worth the sacrifice of losing strength? I gotta make a decision and do it soon.

This felt good and easy, but I felt something pull in my left pec and decided I better stop.

Was gonna do some high box squats, but my back told me different, so I listened to it.

Finished up with some AB work.

I am gonna follow through on my goal of getting leaner, I really don't have much in site for competing right now so I will work on getting my weight down and getting rid of fat. It is gonna be hard and that is why I am gonna do it.
