    cp: Thanks man. It means alot to drop that fat.

    Because of how incredibly active my life has become, I have decided to change the diet up a bit to boost health and sustainability. For instance, today I took in well over 1k calories ON MILK ALONE. Almost as much on meat. Absolutely no fat on the meat, or any sweets today. Milk and water are the only things I drink. A little bit of vegetables, and the worst thing I ate today was mac and cheese, and it wasn't even that much. Busy from sun up till sun down today.

    Bowled a 186, 168, and 224 today. Avg. day in YABA.

    Meal1: 4 doritos, 1 glass of milk, 1 son of a bitching granola bar. Makes me feel better to cuss them

    Good so far today Gonna go chop wood in a while, and tomorrow lift and play bball before school, then lift (maybe) after track.

    Meal4: 1 glass of milk

    Worked outside for 1 1/2 hours, 1 hour spent splitting large chunks of knotted wood, and half of one spent carrying it uphill. Then watered all animals, after saddling a horse. Typical farm day.

    Meal5: 1 glass of gatorade, 2 slices white bread with pb on them.

    Will have 1 more meal, medium (cutting medium that is) size.

    I peek at your journal from time to time and decided to comment. I don't want to keep feeling like a journal stalker.

    Dropping from 30% to 20% is awesome, great job. You're strong as hell, too, and a very active individual. It's cool you're on a farm as well. I always enjoyed helping my grandad with his horses back in the day.

    SB: Welcome, and you can comment any time you want Thanks for your kind words man. I love my active life

    Diet

    Meal1: 1 breakfast pizza slice, 1 carton choc milk
    Meal2: 1 granola bar
    Meal3: 1 large salad, shredded cheese, sunflower seeds, 1 pizza burger, 1 carton choc milk, 4 beef sticks.

    Feeling fairly hungry. Went to track, stretched, ran some, did some activities, stretched some more. Then went and threw shot and discus for about a half hour. Then lifted. I ****ed some records up today!

    UPPER as calf feels like **** and I def. don't want to hurt it more.

    Bench
    135x5
    225x5
    245x5
    275x4 4 rep pr
    275x2 little rest between 1st and 2nd 275 sets. Rushed in general.

    Seated rows (felt absolutely murderous towards my back today)
    180x5
    250x5
    285x5
    320x5
    330x5
    340x5 5 rep pr
    350x5 5 rep pr
    350x5 5 rep pr As I post this, I know some of you will probably not believe this. Trust me, I felt amazed throughout this. My max on these is 370. I assure you I've never lied and will never lie. That's so stupid I couldn't begin to explain it. My reason I can give for this explosion of strength today is that I just WANTED is soooo badly. I gritted my teeth and pulled with all my might. This is the result.

    Db curls (like taxes, hated widely, but essential)
    40'sx5
    50'sx5 pr tie
    50'sx3 pooped from seated rows.

    Tricep ext.
    160x5 felt heavy for some reason
    180x5
    190x5 good enough

    Front raises
    40'sx5
    55'sx5 pr
    55'sx3 WHEW!

    DONE!

    CoCoa: Hey thanks man. I had no idea I'd be pulling that much. Thanks much for the props bro.

    OW! I coughed and my back hurts lol. It's never hurt when I coughed before (must be the new level I've pushed myself to) but damn I feel like a champ now for the effort I put forth today.

    Meal4: 4 1/4 inch 3x3inch pork steaks (quite small), mashed potatoes, 3 glasses of gatorade, 1 glass of milk

    Will eat the following tonight, even though I'm full (I need the protein for building in my sleep).

    Meal5: 2 slices white bread with pb. Lots of pb. My steroid

    Can't wait to get back to doing legs, killed me today to walk out of there without doing box squats. But I won't be fooled into hitting them up, then straggling outta there with a severaly ****ed calf.

    cp: Thanks man, surprised me too.

    Admiral of teh ships: Don't know about amazing, but powerful. Thanks bud.

    Back sore as a mother today, this doesn't surprise anyone lol. Going to do some job shadowing today. I got stuck with a physical therapist, but wanted to watch a personal trainer. Dammit. Pretty much everything I worked yesterday kills.

    Ok, I weighed 240 at the start of this cut. (about 1 1/2 months ago)
    I've adheared to a strict cutting diet, with refeed every 3-4 days.
    0 pop or caffeine.
    Low fat calories.

    I weigh 255 as of today with 20% bf.
    Explain THAT one to me. I'm definitely stronger than I've been, and I know for a fact I've lost fat, that's the the tester told me, people are beginning to tell me, and I know because I can see it now. Has my body taken all this healthy food to heart and used it for muscle, or WTF because I haven't gained this much weight this cleanly since....EVER!

    EDIT: Let's not forget I still lift religiously and all the activities I do. Just wierd.

    I've decided to drop cals more and to keep running and everything. I believe almost all of the weight gain I've experienced is muscle built. I have been getting stronger, but most definitely not fatter.

    wait a sec, if you are dropping fat and putting on muscle, why change? give it another week and see if you continue to drop bodyfat. if so, then you have one of the best diets and routine combinations ever

    Excellent job, but I have no reason not to believe it. At the work gym I was doing 200 one armed, at my new gym 150 is difficult with both. It's impossible to judge weights on non-freeweight exercises. But, either way - excellent job!

    Worked outside for 1 hour after job shadowing today.
