Pics from week 1 & week 7. Next week I’ll be making some adjustments to slightly decrease calories and increase cardio to enhance fat loss. However, I have lots of time left, I still have minimum 10 weeks to go on this recomp cycle 👊.
In your opinions - is this decent 7 week progress? I’m...
Done 👊
