Notes:

Another 4 weeks has passed and making some decent progress.
Looks like I am slowly getting leaner but also making some gains in some places.

Think my diet still needs to be improved upon.
Possibly more veggies and protein when I can.
Really trying to get my diet right as that I think will be my deal breaker in getting to my coveted 10% body fat goal.
Of course it is hard as I am also trying to slowly gain muscle at the same time trying a clean but very slow bulk.
I my need to increase my intake on certain days as well.

Lifts seems to be getting back to normal.
Feeling strong in my main lifts.
But I feel like I am getting a bit fatigued more during my accessory work due to more limited rests to decrease my training time.
I may need to make some changes on the accessory side to train smarter.

I did notice that I didn’t do a consistent job on conditioning which I need to schedule better this next 4 weeks.
I did find a few interesting conditioning work that I may try to see if it helps with my goals.

At least a decent progress this last 4 weeks of trying to lose body fat while building muscle at the same time!
