THT (G2 : W5 - Shoulders)

Had a good start to week five. I went higher on the shoulder presses for the first set and stayed heavy with both sets of dumbbell presses. I also slowed down the dumbbell front raises dramatically. I'm making good strides and showing promising growth. I added a little cardio this morning since I haven't done any in about two weeks. The mass gain in my legs has amped up my metabolism a bit, so there's been a bit more progress with fat loss even though I've gone light on the cardio. Yes, I'm coming around to the idea that cardio is actually evil and unnecessary. It's just taking time.

It was definitely more difficult this time, but that's good since it means my body is no longer used to it and therefore inefficient, thus burning more energy. I'm hovering just over 198 lbs, so I'm hoping I'll hit 200 by the end of next week. I'll take some body fat measurements at the end of this week and readjust my calories/macros at that point.
