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
