because you cheat 5 times a week :) it doesn't happen overnight.

Well, we'll see what happens when I start getting strict..

But I'll probably be adding at least one more meal so I'm averaging a meal every 3 hours , so about 2800-2900 calories..

Or just stick with 2500?

online calculators don't tell the whole story, you just have to try it out and tinker with it...only way you're going to find out.

Going to talk to a trainer tomorrow..

Hope she knows her stuff..

Shoot..

Had to delay meeting with trainer.

Ordered some:

QSE Gold Medal Carbs (MaltoDextrin) 10lbs for $40

http://www.supplementscanada.com/pop...roduct773.html

Prolab Creatine Monohydrate 1000g for $33

Evolution Labs glucEVOL (100% Waxy Maize) 4lbs fo $36

Still not sure wether I just need the QSE Gold Medal Carbs AND dextrose.. It says it has dextrose in it, so..

I couldn't find any Kwick Karbs, so hopefully that Evolution Labs waxy maize is ok, too..

Weight this morning after breakfast and b.m. = 206lbs

11am:

Pre-workout shake

(1.5 cups of 1% yogurt, 2 cups frz. bluberries, 1 tbsp grd. walnuts)

12 noon:

Delt workout:

dumbbell lateral raises (both arms): 20x10, 20x10, 30x5, 30x5, 30x5

Standing overhead press: 80x10, 80x10,100x5, 100x5, 100x5

Form was sloppy on last rep on all 3 last sets.. May have to go down to 90? How good does your form have to be? :)

Machine Rear Delt.Laterals: 100x10, 100x10, 135x5, 135x5, 135x5

Have to remember to pause at end of motion!!

Squats (yes, I said squats) Well, machine squats.. The ones where the bar is on a machine that goes straight up and down..

Is it ok to do these for the first little bit, or am I being too much of a pussy?

I feel I can concentrate more on getting my bum out and going low if I don't have to worry about falling over backwards.. Thoughts?

Very hard on my upper back, and my rotator cuffs!! :(

I just did 3 sets of 100lbs

1pm:

PWO shake: 2 cups of Tropicana OJ, 35g of whey.

2pm:

Real meal:

2 whole eggs, 3 whites, 1 tomato, 1 orange, 3 tbsp of salsa, some cheddar + 2000mg of Omega 3 fish body oil

form needs to be right on, or your not doing yourself any good.

don't do machine squats. man up and put barbell on your back :)

Do you try to lift it straight up, or slightly forward (80 degrees)?

By lack of form I mean cheating, rocking it up a bit.. I'll take it down to 90 next time..

Mind you, I'll be trying out my "Starting Strength" routine by then, and I don't think this excersize is on there (not any of these, in fact)..

D'oh.... :(

Weight after breakfast and b.m. 208lbs

Good workout today..

6:30pm:

Drank a Pre WO shake of a banana, 1 tbsp of PB, and a cup of milk.

(noxious flatulence!! No more bananas for me!!)

2000mg of fish oil Omega 3 tablets.

7:30pm:

30 min. on the treadmill or 2.7miles
(5 min warm-up, 5 min cool down, 20 min @6mph x 1.5 incline).

I did chest excersizes first, instead of lats first.

made a big difference with my chest workout..

Bench: 2x10 push-ups for a warm up, then 90x3

Sigh.. It's a start.. :(

Machine seated fly: 135x5

Pull ups: x10 x5 x5

Barbell Row: 100x5

Form was sloppy.. Will try 90 next time

Cable straight arm pull-down 60 x5

Great pump in lats..

8: 30pm: PWO shake, 2 cups of OJ, 1 multivitamin, 35g of whey.

9:30pm: 2 whole eggs, 3 whites, 3 tbsp salsa, 35g of cheddar, 1 tomato, 1 orange.

Cals for the day: 2680 37% protein , 43% carbs, 20% fat

250g of protein (too much?)..

Man, I love this Fit Day app!

No such thing! :D Ok, maybe for people that have renal failure or in other weird cases. Don't worry about it. If you start getting over 400g of protein per day, then worry. 250g/day is a good number. No reason to get any less than that.
