Prince's Cutting Log

**Prince** · 01-10-2004, 10:23 PM

This is not going to be a detailed diary or journal, more of a log...not sure how often I will update it.

I am exactly 12 weeks out from my show as of today, so I snapped a few pics, obviously I am still a bit smooth, I am also carb depleted in the pics, so they are not the greatest examples of my condiition (or size) right now.

For the next 4 weeks I plan to continue training relatively heavy, I am doing some short cardio sessions around 3 days per week.

My current diet and supplemetns is the following:

Meal 1: 1/2 Cup Oatmeal w/ 3/4 cup Milk & 1.5 Scoops Whey Isolate Protein Powder
Meal 2: Optimum Pro Complex Protein Bar
Meal 3: 6oz Deli Cut Chicken Breast and 1/2 Whole Wheat Pita, 1 Small Apple & Cucumber Slices.
Meal 4: Optimum Pro Complex Protein Bar
Meal 5: (Post Work-Out) 1.5 Scoops Whey Isolate Protein Powder & 1 Scoop CytoMax Recovery Drink.
Meal 6: Lean Steak or Chicken Breast (marinated in oil), Green Veggie or a Green Salad w/ oil dressing.
Meal 7: 1 Scoop Optimum Egg Protein Powder & 1tbsp Natural Peanut butter

Multi-Vitamin twice per day.
Extra Vitamin C and B Complex.
Fish Oil 3 times per day.
10-15 Grams L-Glutamine per day.
5 Grams MET-Rx Creatine per day.
VPX Sports Redline - Pre-work-out
AST GABA & EAS ZMA - Before bed
Optimum Glucosamine/Chondroitin daily.

I will probably replace the protein bars at around 4-6 weeks out, we'll see as I progress.

Sounds like an excellent program Prince.
I sure wish I could keep that kind of a diet routine. I'm trying though. I find it much easier to keep the vitamin and supplement routine, then I do the diet. It seems there is never enough time in the day... The hours go by so fast, I find many times I miss my meal schedule and fall short on my target protein goal.... Well, I guess that happens to the best of us though.

thanks

about 182lbs, maybe a bit depleted though, also those pics do not do my legs justice IMO, they are actually pretty cut.

**Prince** · 01-11-2004, 09:54 AM

yesterday and today I was feeling pretty sore and worn down, so I took both Saturday and Sunday off from training, except for a 30 minute walk each day.

I also forgot to mention, since my carbs are relatively low I will be doing one carb up per week, where I take in an additional 300-400grams of carbs to restore glycogen.

greekblondechic · 01-11-2004, 10:11 AM

yum yum! im sure u will do great

**Jodi** · 01-11-2004, 11:59 AM

Nice legs

I still don't think you eat enough veggies

**Prince** · 01-11-2004, 01:42 PM

I had a big salad last night!

Randy · 01-11-2004, 02:06 PM

Prince needs to eat some full bodied country food to fatten his ass up

Glad to see you started a journal

Your pics look quite impressive for 12 weeks out. While you are "smooth", you are still pretty lean-esp in the abs.
Nice

Sapphire · 01-11-2004, 02:49 PM

Very impressive. Good luck!!!

**Prince** · 01-11-2004, 06:42 PM

thanks, it's April 3rd.

**Prince** · 01-12-2004, 08:50 AM

Okay, dieting went very well this weekend (those are always more difficult days

) as I said I took both Sat & Sun off from training, I was just feeling sore and run down, however I walked for about 30 minutes each day.

Tonight is chest and shoulders, I am still doing more work on my right pec (rebuilding right side from nerve injury back in August) it's coming along well, but still noticably smaller to me.

That CytoMax looks similar to the Endurox that we drink after long runs.
