Saturday August 19th

Today is the final training day of the week and marks the end of being on the diet for one week.

Today's Training:
Dumbbell Military Press (NO BACK SUPPORT) - 4 sets of 15
Seated Front Dumbbell Raises - 4 sets of 15
Standing Site Lateral Raises - 4 sets of 15
Rear Deltoid Machine - 3 sets of 15
Standing Calf Raises - 4 sets of 15
Seated Calf Raises - 4 sets of 15

This was was a pretty good training day because I was able to sleep late and get some much needed rest. The shoulder workout also wasn't as hard as compared to the arm workout which left me a little frustrated yesterday because of missing the dips.

The only part of today's routine that hit me by surpirse were the front raises which I never normally do so I went really light and only used 10 lb dumbbells on it. They did feel good however and even near the end of the last sets the reps were getting hard. After the shoulders the calves had to be hit again which made me a little concerned due to their soreness but once again I went through them fine and the next morning they actually felt better.

So thats the end of the first week and I got to say I am pretty happy with the diet/training so far. The diet is pretty easy to follow its just a matter of being prepared and having access to your meals. I am never really hungry but it can be a little frustrating having to stay up later to get your last meals in such as the carb load. The training wasn't too difficult but there are definately areas that I will need to improve on. Starting light seemed to be key to this first week and next week the program calls for me to drop the reps to 12 and increase the weight.
