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

Veggies

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.

**Prince** · 01-12-2004, 08:06 PM

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

**Twin Peak** · 01-14-2004, 06:04 PM

Looking solid. Especially the quads and lats. If I were you, I'd be focusing on the traps, tris and forearms.

Also, you are too freaking lean for 12 weeks out. Take a few weeks off dieting and add some muscle (your body should be primed for it).

Thanks.

Funny you say the traps, I was thinking that same thing after I took the pics.

I am dieting very sloooowly though....

I just want to make sure I get ripped, the mistake I made in the past was dieting too quickly, sacrificing LBM and still ending up flat.

**P-funk** · 01-14-2004, 07:56 PM

Prince, when did you start your diet on (how many weeks out)??

**Prince** · 01-14-2004, 10:37 PM

I cleaned it up starting Dec. 1, got serious mid-December.

so, I am about 4 weeks into dieting.

**Randy** · 01-14-2004, 10:52 PM

Prince you animal

Im doing the same.. nice and slow. I was told too that I was a bit too lean for 12 weeks out.. but I dont want to end up loosing muscle by dieting too severe those last weeks and I want to be sure that I can get in top condition as well.
we think alike
