Hey Brian... good luck on the cut. You should post your diet in the diet section, I'm sure you'll get alot of suggestions there as well!

So what's your routine .? Full body, split, push/pull/legs?

And GOOD LUCK! im at 225 have 25 more to go wanna race!?!?!! lol me to 200 you to 220?!?!?!?! ok later

"Strength is the product of struggle"

"Your greatest challenge isn't another person. Its the burning in your lungs and the burning in your legs, its the voice in your head screaming STOP you cant do anymore. But you dont listen. You push harder and you start to hear a the whisper of YOU CAN. You realize you are not the person you thought you were is no match for the person you are."

Thanks so much. I am going to try a push/pull/leg split to see if I like. I haven't worked out in a year so I feel like a newb again lol. I was going to post diet in diet section if I needed to but I didn't know if ppl would help me in my journal or not.

Bet your ass we can race. I was down to 200 pounds before then I just stalled and when my boy was born I quit lifting. I bought all the stuff I need to workout at home so I am still getting to know what I can do with what I bought. I am eating around 2300 cals now. I am not a very good at dieting but I do a good job at sticking to diet.
