I've been lifting seriously for about a year and a half. I was in on THE GAME a year ago, but i had some family issues and really couldn't continue the cut. Let's hope this round goes better. /forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

- Workouts -

Monday: Chest/Shoulders/Tris
Wednesday: Legs
Friday: Back/Bis/Forearms

I'm only M/W/F because that's the only time when my gym (local community thing) is open. If i wasn't so cheap (i get in for free) i'd have a membership at the Powerhouse. Oh well. /forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

- Meals -

Well, this week i've been cutting out all the sugars. I haven't had a pop in months, but I'm still weak when it comes to candy or cookies. Next week i lose the white breads and french fries. From then on i start counting calories and figuring proper proportions of fat/carbs/protein.

But for right now... my meals look something like this:

1. Whey shake (7:00 AM)

2. a few handfulls of peanuts - can't eat much more in school (9:30 AM)

3. Turkey sub with lettuce (10:55 AM)

4. Ham or turkey sandwich. Whole wheat bread. (2:30 PM)

5. Whatever mom makes - typically chicken or fish something. I try to stay away from the pasta. (anywhere from 5:00 to 7:00 PM)

6. Post-workout whey shake. (9:00 PM)

For best results, sum up the calories and nutrient breakdown for all the meals you have control over. This will be better for the diet, as you will be able to see any lacking areas.
Good luck.

The measurements will be up later today. I took em last night then fell asleep before posting them. Whoops.

Interesting note about my weight though. When i weighed myself one week ago monday i was 210. Last night i weigned myself (exact same time as a week ago) and i was 208. Then i realized the scale wasn't zeroed out - it was overweighing by 2lbs - so i actually weigh 206. I believe the scale was zeroed properly last week though, so i'm showing a 4lbs loss. But even if it wasn't set correctly - 2lbs this week is pretty good, although fairly easy to do with my high bf%.

I'll be weighing in the morning from now on so as to get more consistent results. I was 204-205 this morning.

Not sure i trust these - i get wildly different measurements if i change where i measure by even a centimeter - typically off by 7 or more millimeters.

Pectoral - 21
Abdomen - 40
Thigh - 31
Subscapula - 29
Tricep - 29
Midaxillary - 28
Suprialiac - 24

BF% - 25.2
LBM - 153.3
FAT - 51.7

Looks like great results, but i'm not sure i trust em. Although i feel like i look more cut - my muscles show more when i flex and whatnot. Oh well, not a big deal - i still have plenty to lose.

My updated stuff will be up either tonight or tomorrow.
