PJ's journal

[PJP]

Intro - So, I've been reading these forums since 2003 and figured it's about time to start something up. I'm always looking for tips/advice and always looking to improve, so I figured I would make a journal....

Me - 5'11 193 26y/o. Have lifted on and off for 7 years, and very consistently the past year.

Goal - A lean 200#

Routine - 5 day split. day1 - chest, day2 - back, day3 - shoulders, day4 - Legs, day5 - Arms. My days off vary, but I always take a day off lifting between days 5 and 1. I pepper in abs 2x's a weeks and cardio 4 days a week (2x's 20 min. HIIT, 2x's 60 mins LISS).

Diet - Im usually awake around 8, lift at 9.
Meal 1 - scrambled egg wrap (5 egg whites, 2 whole eggs, throw in a vegg, and a TB or so olive oil, in a whole wheat wrap).
Meal 2 - 2 scoops MRP (approx 400 cals, 50 grams protein, 40 grams carbs)
Meal 3 - lean meat/fish w/veg. potato.
Meal 4 - 2 scoops MRP
Meal 5 - either 1 scoop MRP, cottage cheese/fruit, or more eggs.

I take just a multi vitamin and a couple Venom's everyday (before workout and during 2nd meal)

Pretty good day today. DL's felt good, but by the time I got to the DB rows I was spent. Later start to my workout could be the reason. Cardio got me sweating good.

Felt super weak today. Had little desire to hit the gym. Usually rep 80-85, but was too lethargic to even rack up the 75s to get the 80s. Yikes. Came home and had a 60/60/20gram protein/carb/fat shake. Bout to bury an egg wrap.

Have been reading all the HTC articles....hmmmm
