Fitts' path of fitness :p

[Mfitts52]

So I just thought i would post my caloric intake for the day since ive upped it today. Ive been getting good results without eating nearly enough I cant wait to see the difference this is going to make, not to mention a new routine.

196p/369c/109f 3,513 calories

A lot of things ive been reading are suggesting 4 carbs for each lb of body weight. Im only 175ish right now and thats 700g carbs. I dont plan on quite reaching that but im going to try and get closer. I cant imagine doing it by eating more **** oatmeal than I already am so im gonna do what ive seen a lot of you talk about and start getting into popcorn, defintely brilliant. Is there a suggested kind/brand that is healthiest. Obviously one with low sodium and not buttered or anything.

The first day with this split was great, i loved every second of it. I dont have the agony of one body part just being entirely cooked like with a body group split but my whole upper body just feels worked and im spent. Also I managed to finish up in under 50 minutes, it was very fast paced I maintained a high heart rate most of the workout. Also i was sweating quite a bit. Which is crazy because normally I dont really sweat at all maybe a little on my brow because my gym is really cold because its part of a big facility, with an ice rink and turf field etc. Anyway im really excited about this routine I defintely believe after today it will be effective so heres how it went.

BB Bench press-165x6, 175x6, 180x5 (one assisted)

Weighted chins-These are straight intense I love it. I tried it with a 45 and struggled with two bad, so i decided to work my way up with a 25lb plate.

BW+25x5, BW+25x5, BW+25x4

BO DB Row-90/6, 95/6, 95/6

DB Shoulder press-55sx6, 55sx6, 60sx6

Simultaneous seated db curl-40's/6, 40's/6, 40's/5

Overhead db ext-75x6, 80x6, 80x6

I used a chain belt with a plate attached to it, If I used a safety belt with just a dumbell wrapped around my waist would that be less beneficial? It just seems like it would be easier than having a weight flying around below you, I kept my form strict so it wasnt a problem, but my liftng partners it wasnt as pretty

I feel great after yesterday, I didnt expect my upper body to be as taxed as it is but im glad. I can def feel that everything has been worked and i love the idea that its gonna get worked again in 2 days instead of another week.
Anyway I had a good lower day as well

Squats-285x3, 300x3, 315x3

DB walking lunges-60's/6(each leg)x3

[Mfitts52]

5 minute warm up on the elliptical
HIIT-10x20 second sprints

and I did some crazy ab circuit.


Me and my friend were going sit ups where you hang upside down like in rocky, but the only thing open that we could use was the smith machine bar and it hurt alot lol, wasnt worth it at all. So we just looked like dumbasses climbing all over it. It was real funny

Thanks a lot man, definetly working on it. I wish I didnt wrestle and lifted a little harder during football season, im just getting to where I was at this summer. Hopefully i can make some major improvement because my competition is coming up in a month or less, my coach still hasnt got the exact date.

Anyway heres how upper hypertrophy went today, it was'nt the best workout ever bc were lifting with a newfriend so i had to show him how to do a lot of lifts and stuff, and it was funny watching him curl 15's lol, it was his first time lifting though everyone has to start somewhere.

Im gonna have to pull of a nasty squat and dl if im going to do well, bc i dont see my bench being up to par. All I know is I dont want a second place trophy I have to stare at for another year.
