Progress pics. I can't see much difference but I can tell my muscles in my legs and upper body are getting stronger. That or my pain threshold is getting larger. My left hip is killing me from all these years of walking all messed up. C'est la vie though, we press on. I plan on starting the Abs Diet workout Friday if I can get my weight bench built tomorrow.
