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.

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)..

No such thing! 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.
