Today marks 11 weeks I started Keto and ramping up my dumbbell workouts and 2 weeks ago started pyramid dumbbell workouts. Measured my stats this morning and had a little bit of an ego boost! While my weight isn’t going down (as I’ve discussed before) my measurements have improved. Chest went from 41″ to 43″…… Continue reading 11 Weeks Keto and Pyramid Workouts
