That's got to be the quote of the week right there. :nod:

haha nice yeah it never really goes as planned but thank god i love a good bowl of oatmeal > cheescake !

[pandospace]

trying to swithch things up this week and well see how i like it;

my workout consists of a 3 day split of full body workouts

6 total workouts, each 3-4 sets but different intensity/volume each day

day1: Heavy **** with low volume
day2: Hypertrophy, generally 50 total reps per exercise (ie: deadlift @ 205x50 reps)
day3: isolation with high volume low intensity
day4: Rest day and then Repeat [:

i started a new diet today as well keeping it simple;
1 gram of carb per pound of lean body weight @ 170/day and 300 grams protein 2500 calories total

started weighing out and preparing food ahead of time

okay enough typing time to hit day 3 and **** **** up

[pandospace]

wierd how when i started preparing my meals before hand i suddenly get super dedicated and my bottomless appetie went missing?

im 5 meals down with 2 to go and i dont feel i can stuff it down and it is already 930pm... im only at 2100 calories far below my goal

anyways pretty damn good workout today! bought a new watch with a big second timer and i never let myself rest more than 30 seconds between each set, good overall pump
