Ryan, you’d be surprised. I’ve been at this awhile, and I used to have the same mentality, but you really do adapt to whatever you force your body to take. 2 smaller meals and a big meal is VERY doable. Agreed with you on the last part… to be honest, I barely feel like I’m dieting.
So yeah, diet is going great, still been 110% on point, energy levels good, got some sleep last night and was just ITCHING to go to the gym. Was pretty bored last night and was taking a bunch of posing vids and I was really happy with what I was seeing. Excited for what’s to come. 
Delts and arms today. Was a long session but energy was high the whole time. Had a bit of a scare, as you’ll see below, but besides that, everything was smooth sailing.
Warmup - this gym doesnt ahve the broomstick or the PVC, so rolling is not as effective. Fml. I should have taken more time as my shoulder was pretty tight (shoulder/chest area), but oh well.
Seated military press – they had a dedicated MP station, but I didn’t really like it. Was awkward taking out the bar, and on my heavy set, when I unracked, the whole thing almost flipped. Def lost a rep because of that.

**So as I was setting up for this, I guess the pins were sliding out of the holes (lol) as I was moving the bar into position, and one came loose and the bar came crashing down on me. I woulda been fine eventually, but it was a bit startling, and a dude helped me put it back. I dislike those power racks where the pins dont lock. Regardless, was bad juju and I decided not to do the set.
Barbell curls – with a slightly shorter straight curl bar. Did like. Also, the spot I was curling had a SWEET mirror set up (u mad haters?) where I could see my whole rear side mid-set. Didn’t realize I looked that good from behind (no brag). Was honestly surprised with how I looked in a good way.
55 x 8
85 x 6
105 x 6
145 x 8, 6 – good sets
Rope pressdowns / High incline EZ extensions (thanks Waylander!) / Reverse-grip pressdowns - sickening triset
60 x 15~ / 65 x 15~ / 60 x 12~ - 4x through, reps varied each one and slowly decreased. started a bit higher. but JESUS H CHRIST, dat pump. Was a good combo of exercises. Do recommend.
Two-armed cable hammer curls / Two-armed DB preachers / Lat pulldown overhead curls – WOW
35 x 12-15~ / 20s x 12~ / 50 x 12-15 - 4x through. Great exercise combo as well. Wwowowowowowowow.
4 sets calves, cooldown. Forgot to work abs, fml.
Refeed tomorrow evening. :))))))
