12:30 - Cheat Meal: Roast beef sandwich w/ tartar and horseradish sauce, shit load of fries. (I figure that Tuesdays are good days for me to have big, huge postworkout meals. My schedule allows me to digest during lunch, but next time I won’t have something like fries though.)
Pretty good day. My grip is really lacking in strength because whenever I do the first circuit my forearms are very, very sore from holding the dumbbells for so long. It’s one of those things that will probably get better in due time.
So I found out I did my first heavy chest/back day wrong. I should have done the A superset and then the B superset after that for five circuits. But I did it right this time, and it was pretty intense. I switched my deadlift mixed grip from my left hand being overhand to my right hand being over hand. It went well.

12:15 - 1 large piece of meatloaf (So fucking good), 1 cup beef chili, peas
5:00 - 1 fish fillet, 1 piece carved ham, spinach w/beans
9:00 - 1/2 scoop protein in water
Summary
Back’s kind of sore, I’m pretty sure it’s do to an imbalance in my back from deadlifting with the same mixed grip for so long.
I fucked up. Plain and simple. Last night I got back to my dorm at 12, hungry as fuck, and I went to reach for my protein powder by the fridge and I saw a large bin of dessert bars. They were on top of the fridge with the rest of the community food, and I looked at them and thought, “NO!” but then I thought, “Just a taste…” A taste became a binge of ALL of the fucking bars, which was a lot, and a shitload of milk.
This morning I had a choice: sulk and give up, or tell myself that this will never happen again. I’m so ashamed of myself; I did well all week and I finally thought I made the definite change. I guess old habits die hard.
I was contemplating having “Cheat Meals” once every week or so, but I don’t think I deserve them anymore. I’m going to make the permanent change. I’m not going to give up, nothing will stop me. Not even myself.
My back and biceps get really tired on Sundays, which is probably because I have my lactate workout on Saturdays, and those workouts include some back stuff. Should I replace my Saturday lactate workout back exercises with shoulders or abs or something different?
So are you eating that same selection of foods every day?
Have you considered a low carbohydrate approach? CT’s article “Refined Physique Transformation” is responsible for my 50 lbs. weight loss, and I think it may have some stuff that you’d benefit from.
