OPERATION BEAST

 

Below is my schedule for the upcoming few months.  I will be getting leaner through strict diet and vigorous and consistent cardio activities.  I will also get stronger on the main lifts by strength training 3 x a week.  I will train Mixed Martial Arts a few times a week to further my skill and improve my conditioning while simultaneously burning calories to lead to fat loss.  I will do different activities such as swimming, rock climbing, mountain biking, back packing, and more to keep it interesting and burn additional calories.  I have to focus on eating clean all the time!
