And don't make that pig face about your weight, we are the same height and you weigh 23lbs less than me, LOL! |
. I think I will post meals for everyones insight and help. You might weigh 23lbs more than me but I'm a weakling
What I'll do is post everything a day later so I can post the day's diet. Either that or I'll plan better and have my diet planned out in advanced.

My rountine, when I first set it up was like that. I had to switch the two, because squats were impssible for me after a back day. Just some input. |
I haven't tried this split yet. What I'll do is try how this works out for 4 weeks, re-evalute it and if I can tell I'm not doing my best cause of a previous day's workout I'll switch shit up. Thanks for the input Jake. Always welcome and appriciated.
I guess like I said in the begining this is a total evaluation period. I felt so damn weak after not working out for almost 5 months I thought everything was going well until the Flat Barbell Bench. Started with the 160 got it up 3 times no problem then going up the 4th time I couldn't do it! Went down to 150 same thing. 135 same thing, so on and so forth. The cable Crossover will change to Flat bench DB Flyes next week since my pulley system won't work the way I want to do this. . I get to ABS did 3 reps and had a close call. I called it a day then. I might have had too empty of a stomach or something cause that is the first time I ever felt sick to my stomach taking Redline. Well today I'm sore as hell which is a good feeling. Lets see how tonight goes...

Dont worry too much about your weights. I had a 16week break over the summer, and I am almost as strong as I was.. only been back 5-6 weeks. |

I'm not worried really just frustrated thats all |

Does Pro Complex have carbs in it and a fat source? Post Workout Small serving of homemade Spagetti (with lower carb/high protein noodles and extra lean turkey meat) Drink Whey protein after your w/o or eat Chicken. It's protein your body will be able to utilize quicker after a w/o. 4th meal Avid Protein Bar Protein bars are a no no on anytime, especially on a diet. 5th Meal Small serving of homemade Spagetti For a cut I would pass on this and go with brown rice or a yam and chicken or something. 6th Meal 1 Cup 1% Cottage Cheese Fat source?!? 7th Meal (before bed) 1tbl Peanut Butter (All Natural) 1 Scoop Whey small sausage patty 1 cup of sunflower seeds consumed throughout and 8hr period at work. Total: 2390 Calories 71g Fat 215g Carbs 220g Protein. Let me know how this looks. Thanks |

Sore as hell still from Monday but I'll live.(Triceps sore today.) If not some one take me out back and put me out of my misery 
Forearms I'll work out tonight with ABS. (Plus its 4 days per week 10 hour days ) Doubt that I get it since I'm a goverment worker and I'm sure they already have someone picked and they are just going through the motions. But hopefully I'm Wrong.

I've been playing 2 days a week and some days I was playing 2 or 3 games a night.My weight has gone up of course up to about 200lbs (up from 185). I've been eating sort of crappy, but have stayed away from the majority of crappy stuff out there. My goals are to of course get stronger and cut fat. I want to get my body fat down to about 12%. I'll be happy right there. Softball season starts up again in March so I'm preparing for this. I'll be starting my new program on Monday (11-29-04). Supplementation will be.... Swole V2 (one serving upon wakeup, one serving before workout) 5g 2x's a day L-Glutamine Peptides 5g 5x's a day Redline as per directions (I have a half of bottle left) 1000mg Vitamin C 2x's a day 400iu Vit E 2x's a day Multivitamin 500mg Calcium (Vit D, Magnesium, and Zinc) 2x's a day 2 tablespoons Flaxseed oil per day or Fish Oil Concentrate Pill Form (850mg Concentrated Fish oil and 440mg of Omega-3 Fatty acids per pill) 2 pills 2x's a day Glucosamine (per dosage on bottle) 1000 mg CLA 2x's a day 800mg Chromium Picolinate 2x's a day L-Arginine 1000mg 2x's a day (one upon wakeup one prior to workout) Taurine 500mg 2x's a day (taken with L-Arginine) ZMA as per dosage on bottle 3mg Melatonin before bed I think that is it... Diet... Will cut down on Calories to about 2500 per day 40% pro, 40% Carb, 20% Fat. |

This might also be messing up your eating schedule because your sleep pattern is different. Try to get into a routine if you can.
You might want to add fish oil caps. Pb is also good at your last meal. |
I guess I need to force feed myself. I guess I'm too worried about cutting and thus might be doing some damage.
I have some more coming on Friday though. Well feel free to critique.
