The scoop for the protein I have (Bio-X extreme Power Whey, any good?) is 35g per rounded scoop..

I did some reading today:

and had quite a few "Oh crap! moments..

The biggest forehead slapper was the fact that I have indeed been
And it looks like I HAVE definitely been sabotaging my strength training by running before my workouts..

Calorie-wise, recovery-wise, training intensity-wise.... :(

Damn!

Wish the light bulb had gone off earlier than this!

Will definitely do the running on off days..

Problem is, I started ALL of this a year ago because I wanted to get into shape for RCMP boot camp "Depot", where they like they're daily 5-7K runs.. :(

So if I slack off on the running, or cut it out entirely to focus on saving those calories for making muscle I risk sucking wind at Depot, if I ever make it there..

Thoughts?

I'm going to try not running tonight and see how it affects my work-out..

I also got some good tips on squats, etc..

I was not scrunching up my traps to cushion the bar when I tried it last time..

Will definitely be adding them to the roster, after I get my form down (going to keep looking at vids, and consulting a personal trainer)..

See, that's blowing my mind, too..

According to what I'm reading here and elsewhere I want to ADD at least 2 meals a day - the pre and post WO shake..

But how I can do that and DECREASE my calorie intake, I don't know.. :(

Like I say, I've been maintaining around 205 for 6 months, easy..

Should I try INCREASING my calorie intake by adding those 2 meals, and cutting the fat from my last 2 meals of the day? See what happens to my body fat percentage?

Going to try to get my water intake up to a gallon, too (seriously, am I the only one who pisses like a race-horse drinking like this??)..

Any recommendations?

Thanks for all the feedback!!
