Kennys battle!

[krboyd7]

I have been lifting for 18 months and have not started a journal.

Its been a long,hard yet enjoyable batle to get where i am.. only trouble is I still have such a long way to go.
I have had good results but always want more,(sure you all know what i am talking about).

I have been bulking for almonst 4 months and plan to cut sometime in jan.
