In attempts to lean up a little for summer I've gone to 30 second rests between sets on the majority of my workouts with exception to legs and back where I want to continue to go heavy as possible.

I wanted to do something HIT for cardio for my upper body today and I remember Jacob introduced us to Mike's 600 pushup challenge and it fit perfectly. Definitely insane completed it in 22:18 and thought I was going to vomit afterwards, I was also breathing harder than most of my cardio sessions.

My weight is continuing to go up, I'm also feeling and looking a little leaner so I will continue to attempt to pack on muscle while losing fat.
