    I have started logging my workouts again to improve my compliance with my training and diet. Well my goal is to be 104cm waist circumference by the 17th may 2012. I was 105cm two weeks ago but with a short holiday that I really enjoyed myself as I am as of this morning 107cm.

    A1 power clean 5X5X40kg
    A2 Three way core exercise (plank, push up and mountain climber)

    B1 Step ups 8/8X5X35kg
    B2 GHR 8X5
    B3 Dips 6X5

    C1 TGU 2/2X4X24kg
    C2 One arm rows 8/8X4X32kg

    Diet break:
    Cals: 2377
    Protein :286 grams
    Fat: 98 grams
    Carbs:104 grams

    I will update all other data on body measurements each week. This will give me more areas to get feed back and see how I am progressing or not
