That will really depend on my what body fat is...I'm thinking somewhere around 14-16 weeks out.

***Had a great workout on the chest but was exhausted by the time I got to the squats. I really like the 4 sets of 6 style routine. Rest between sets was around 1 to 1 1/2 mins. I had a hard day at work which consisted of a lot of walking today in a low coal seam. The top was only about 55-60" high, so my lower back and legs were shot by the end of work.

Update:
Been out of the gym the past couple days. I've been really sick to my stomach and a terrible headache. It was so bad I even missed work. I haven't been able to eat anything. I'm down almost 5 lbs. I'm weighing around 198.5 now. Today the headache wasn't as bad and after 1000mg of advil, it is gone but the appetite just isn't there. I've managed to get down a whey shake and a can of tuna. I sure hope this shit passes fast. I'm going to try to get to the gym this evening and see how it goes.

***I got fatigued very quickly tonight. I was able to push some good weight on the close grip bench, but when I got to biceps, they were shot in no time. Overall, it was a pretty good workout despite being sick these past couple days. I'm off to take a hot shower and then try to get some sleep. I have to get up early for work and need all the rest I can get.

***Good workout. Finally getting over this sickness feeling. Appetite is starting to come back. I set 2 PR's tonight so that was good. First was on the squats (405 X 6). I had more weight in me, but I don't want to go any heavier without knee wraps. I'm going to invest in me a pair. The other PR was on my hack squats. Thats the first time for 275 X 6. I was stoked!
