You benched on a smith?



EEEEEWWWWWWW......


Why Dub Why?

I dunno, I hated it. Its just an accessory.

I don't mind smith for decline but for flat it felt terrible.

Well I'm back at the diet again full force. Apparently my stomach shrank again though. I am having trouble crammin all this food down.

I was wondering, if I were cutting a couple hundred cals of my diet where should I trim it? Carbs or fat? As it stands I'm at 40-30-30 PCF. I'm assuming I would want to keep the protein up. Both carbs and fat perhaps? I'm going to see what my weight is at the end of this week and make the call based on that but I think my cals are slightly on the high side.

First day back on the diet. My stomach shrank again cause I couldn't finish a couple meals. The lifting went pretty well I think considering.

The scale said only down .5lb from start weight (up 2lb from last week but I attribute that to fluids from being sick). Then I went home and took a sh!t sooo I'll weigh again on friday. lol Sorry for the TMI moment.

Tmill - 30mins

Did you make any adjustments to your diet?

Remind me again why your dieting .

No adjustments yet. I'm going to weigh today and I'll make the call then.

I'm dieting because I want to slowly lean out towards my two hot trips this year. Hitting the Mayan in early Jan and Dominican mid Feb. Anyways, I think I'm better off with this diet even if I am trying to lose weight then I was before with my entirely random/shitty diet. I feel alot more consistent now at the gym that I have my cals evenly flowing in throughout the day with proper protein etc.

After feb I think the plan is to try and slowly bring the cals up to try and put on some size while staying conservative on the fat gain.

So I guess I'm actually down 2lb over 3 weeks which isn't too bad. I'm going to keep my cals the same for another week and see what happens. I'm still not sure if this is from being sick or if that is actually the rate I'm dropping at.

Felt like a decent workout overall.
