    PPP's Journal...

    I am using this journal to share my diet and workouts with other people for possible feedback, both positive and negative.

    Here is my split:

    M-Chest/shoulders/triceps
    T-yoga
    W-Legs
    Th-yoga
    F-Back/biceps
    Sa-
    Su-abs

    I just started my cut. Going from 4,500 to 3,000 by dropping 250 calories a week.

    I am at 3,750 right now. I am doing this because I do not want to lose any strength. I figured that it's not a good idea to bulk after a cut and go from 3,000 to 4,500 in one day (I think that's a good way to gain about 10 pounds of fat in a week).

    Let's start with the workout today.
    The workout was a 8/10. I am not eating as many carbs, I am down 750 calories a day already so it's going to show in my performance in the gym.

    Here's what I did today:

    Incline DB press
    92x6,5
    82x5

    Flat DB press
    82x6,5

    DB flyes
    50x7,8

    Seated DB press
    60x6,6 (I was really bummed about these. I just went down from a 4 day split to a 3 day split. I used to do shoulders on their own day, 1st exercise in the gym, I used to do 72x7, but doing shoulders after chest while cutting - it's bound to happen that you have to lower the weight)

    DB side laterals
    30x6,6

    Close grip bench press using EZ-bar
    140x5,3

    Dips
    72.5 x8,8

    Here's the diet

    Meal 1 - Protein shake - 8oz milk, 1 cup oatmeal, 2 scoops protein, frozen banana, 4 fish oil caps
    Meal 2 - 1 chicken breast, 1 rice, 3 egg whites, 1 black beans, salad, cooked w/olive oil
    Meal 3 - 1 chicken breast, 1 rice, 3 egg whites, 1 black beans, salad, cooked w/olive oil
    Meal 4 - Protein shake - 8oz milk, ½ cup oatmeal, 2 scoops protein, 3 fish oil caps
    Meal 5 - 1 tuna, 1 rice, 3 egg whites, 1 black beans, salad, 3 fish oil caps
    Meal 6 - 2 cottage cheese, 15 almonds, 3 egg whites

    Postworkout shakes consists of 1 scoop protein and 2 scoops dextrose w/7.5g creatine.

    I suggest you create a title or you will get few visitors to your journal. Plus it is quite annoying to look at.

    I went to the nicety of changing your journals title, it looked odd as it was. Just pm me a new title if you want to change it.
