Notes:
Another 4 weeks in the books and moving along slowly but steadily.
Diet was decent enough and it looks like I made some gains in certain body parts.
Unfortunately I was not consistent with my conditioning and I think I gained some body fat with my gains due to that.
Not a huge issue but really need to do those conditioning work to effectively cut the fat as I build strength and muscle.
Strength on my lifts are starting to slowly improve as I am about to finish my 2nd cycle and take a week off as a deload.
Made some changes on my lifting sessions that I think are helpful and I think it worked a bit with some of my body changes.
Going to take my 1st deload week as a way to cycle off the caffeine for bit and also reassess what I need to work on for the upcoming 2 cycles.
