Deadlift
190 X 5

265 X 5
315 X 5
405 X 2 ***New PR!
***The program called for my 4th and final set to be 305 X 5 on deadlifts but I was feeling way to good to settle for that shit. I was so pumped with this workout. Absolutely no pain in my back. For years I've never been able to go over 315 X 1 due to lower back pain.
I was supposed to hit abs also but I was just too damn hungry and I needed to get back home and get ready for bed. 4am comes early!
HA HA thats so fucked. I missed my work out yesterday too and did it today. I am going to miss tomorrow and do it on saterday. Then go back to the normal plan on monday... Is that what you are going to do?
Look I know its real real tempting to jump ahead like this. But I can tell you from experience. Stick to the plan as close as you can. There is a reason for it.

tell me how these sleeping pills work for you..ive been using melatonin on some nights.
I tried Need2Sleep last night. I slept much better and feel well rested this morning.

Well you better get on the fucking ball. Contest is waiting for you. Cash and prizes as well as board respect on the line.
Just got back from the grocery store. Here is a small list of some of the things I got. Help me out here Needto, suggestions appreciated.
5 lbs of Select Sirloin Steak
1 lbs of Fresh Flounder Fillet
2 lbs of Chicken breasts
Brocolli
Carrots
Green Peppers
Fiji Apples
Skim Milk
Plain Almonds
Natural Peanut Butter
Wheat Bread
My daily intake for cutting will be as followed:
2320 cals
270g of protein
125g of carbs
82g of fat
***All these calculations came from the wisdom of Needto.
With my work schedule, I'm looking at around 4 meals per day. 1 meal before work, 2 at work, 1 after work. With work, I work 2 weeks 1st shift and then 2 weeks 2nd shift. I workout in the evenings (6-7 pm) when on 1st shift and around 12 pm when on 2nd shift.
anyway you can spread it to 5 meals.
and think (white meat bro). ff cottage cheese if you can eat it lol..
Tips. Make everything in advance and have it right there in your face ready for you when you need it at all times. Because if you get hungry as hell (which you will) and the food you should be eating is not right there ready for you. You will just start grabbing anything and killing it .
diet sounds great man.
throw some lobster in the mix if you have the money!
lol
Almost perfect man. Here is what I would do though. Eat the sweet potatoe for lunch and the veggies for dinner.This week coming I'm going to be trying to figure out what I need to eat to meet my caloric needs for my cutting cycle that will begin the following week. With the help of FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal, I added up everything that I planned to eat tomorrow and this was my totals.
Breakfast
2 large eggs
5 pieces of turkey bacon
2 pieces of wheat toast
1 serving of smart balance peanut butter
Lunches
16oz. of chicken (make 2 meals out of this)
2 servings of baby carrots
2 servings of broccoli
1 serving of natural almonds
1 pre-workout protein shake
1 post-workout protein shake (Big Blast Shake)
Dinner
1 serving of flounder
1 sweet potatoe (without skin)
1 protein shake at bed time
Totals are:
2281 calories
78 grams of fat
129 grams of carbs
272 grams of protein
48% protein
30% fat
22% carbs
Almost perfect man. Here is what I would do though. Eat the sweet potatoe for lunch and the veggies for dinner.
Remember how I said cut down on the carbs except veggies after 5-6 pm at night. That extra carb before work outs will also help too.
tonight my girlfriend prepared all my food for tomorrow...after looking at it, i'm going to starve my damn as off! haha


well done bro.. i think i might steal your diet
Nice bro. I bet you will be feeling that work out in the morning. HA HA you starving yet?
nice bro! your diet looks on point!
And you have not started the clen yet ether have you. Bwaahahahaaa. This is going to be sick. Your going to get down to around 6%. Contest fucking prep almost. Well still gaining muscle.
I think in a week or two we will add in some more ab work.
Yeah, I'm more stoked about this cycle than ever before! I haven't started the clen yet.
I need to find something that can help me with my sweet tooth that is decently healthy. Right now, its really hard on my mind when I eat so clean. When I have rough days at work, my body gets real week feeling and I feel like my sugar is getting low. I need something to keep in my dinner bucket to help me when I get to feeling like this. Carrots used to do the trick, but here recently they have stopped working.
flax oil bro. It helps with cravings and i rather you have a table spoon of this then some crap sugar. Or even one of my protein bars. Make it with sugar free maple. See if that is good tasting enough for you.
have you gotten it checked out?
dont wanna injure it anymore if there is something wrong

125 X 10
150 X 8
150 X 8 ***Calves were cramping up hell, so I was afraid to add more weight.
All workouts are fast pace. Try not to exceed no more than 2 minutes between each set. When I get to the big lifts however, I do take a little more time between sets.
Luckily today my right arm isn't bothering me. I'm going to continue to take 600mg (split up in 2 dosages) of Ibuprofren and Diclofenac for a couple days. I'm really looking forward to starting my Clen next week. I'm going to start pushing myself to do a little cardio after workouts when I have the time to help eliminate the fat around my midsection. You take away the fat in that area and I would be set.

Its 12:35am and I can't go to sleep! The bad thing is I have to get up at 4am for work. Its a mix between me being hungry as fuck and my mind keeps racing. I have constant thoughts of random shit. I can't seem to clear my mind and drift away. I've had sleep issues in the past, so I'm not blaming it on the juice. I've even noticed the the needtosleep pills have lost their effectiveness on me. I need to get back to the doctor to get my prescription of Zoloft refilled. I do sleep better when I'm on it because I'm more relaxed. I tried to wing myself off them so I wouldn't get dependent on them. I have done good about controlling my anger and anxiety issues (which are the reasons the doc put me on it) but now I can't sleep worth a fuck.
that was kidn of the same issue with me..
do you think alot before you go to bed?
like do you sit there going.. okay now im going to stop thinking..
haha thats how it is with me ..i think too in detailed..
How much need2sleep are you taking. I find 2 caps put me out most of the time, but if not I will take another 2 just to finish the job. Its hard because sleep pills will make you tired as hell but even they can shut the brain off some times.
For your elbow I would like to send you some of my joint aid. You can be my first tester. I think it will work good for you. If you are getting hungry late night nit you can also throw in some more flax oil around that time. Or try and eat a bunch of celery sticks to fill your gut. takes more energy to eat them then they have cals, but they will fill you up.

I was sweating like a damn horse tonight in the weight room.
Hey Needto, whats your thoughts on a dish like this. Would this be ok for the occasional dinner.
Paella Spanish Chicken
1/2 cup of olive oil
3 lbs of chicken (boneless) ***cut into small chunks
1 clove of fresh garlic ***using garlic powder instead
Why? you can buy diced fresh garlic in olive oil. Lots of times even garlic powder has salt in it. Just enough so they do not have to put it on the label.
1/2 cup of chopped onion (use a sweet onion like a vadala)
1 chopped green pepper
1 large can of diced tomatoes <--- use your own fresh diced. dice up like 3 and then blen one into juice. This has a lot les crap in it and it will even tast better
2 cups of chicken broth ***using low sodium broth
You can make your own with no salt at all, but this works.
1 cup of rice (brown rice I hope)
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon of salt
1 pinch of Saffron
Heat oil and brown chicken. Remove chicken from pan. Put garlic, chopped onions and peppers in pan until onions are golden. Then put chicken back in and add cayenne pepper, fry for approx. 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Next add rice and seasonings, cover and simmer over low heat until chicken and rice are tender and all liquids are absorbed (approx. 20 mins).
You can use the brown rice. sub out some of the rice for some black beans to if you like. This will add more protein and make the meail that much more healthy too.
****This shit is the fucking bomb!
I'm starting my run with Clen tomorrow. Going to be running for 4 weeks. Once I get to 120mcg/ED, I'll stay at that dosage the remainder of the 4 weeks. When running 120mcg, that will be 3 tabs. I'm planning on taking 1 in the morning, 1 around 12pm, and 1 around 3pm. My workout is around 6pm and I go to bed around 9:30pm. Does this dosing split sound ok?
