Lets start off with some info about me. I have been lifting off and on for a few years. Nothing really to brag about though. I would still consider myself sort of a beginner.
After reading around the forums I am going to start with Rippetoe’s as it seems to help everyone out. As far as diet I still need a little help but so far this is what I have planned…
Meal#1: 3-4 eggs scrambled, toast with pb, piece of fruit
Meal#2: Post workout protein shake (ON 100% whey)
Meal#3: Tuna,PB&J or Turkey sandwich, wheat thins, celery with pb or piece of fruit
Meal#4: handful of peanuts w/ pb and slice of bread
Meal#5: chk breast w/ veges, sometimes on a salad…is pasta with the lean ground beef bad here?
Meal#6: Bowl of cereal or cottage cheese
If you have any pointers please let me know. LIke I said I am new and this is the best diet I could set up and hold myself to.
I hope to have tomorrows workout up soon!

On the squat I probably could have done the last rep but was just worried because I didnt have a spot. My arms were jello by the time pull ups rolled around. I wish I could do more…hopefully that will change.
