Saturday
Meal 1 - 6 pancakes
Meal 2 - 1 scoop Low-Carb Metabolic Drive, 3 servings oatmeal, 1 serving Superfood
Meal 3 - 2 orders of fries, 1 hot dog
Meal 4 - 4 servings of pasta (50g carbs per serving/5g fat)

I’m going to end my carb up today because I feel great, so I’m certainly sticking to a 6/1 schedule now. Computer lab is closing now and I’m being kicked out - farewell!
Didn’t know you had a thread. I’m on it.
Thanks Condor, I appreciate the support.
Sunday
Weight: 191 (All things considered - 189 after ‘the business’)
Yesterday was great! Not only did it serve as a psychological reward for low carbing for 2 weeks, but it was also necessary as my muscles were getting pretty flat and I think my numbers were suffering because of it. I really expected to balloon up to at least 194, but luckily my body handled all those carbs like a pro.
Also, here is what I’ve come up with to get my fat loss moving.
Workout days - Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat: 2100 kcals (60% Fat/40% Protein)
Off days - Sun, Tue, Thur: 1400 kcals
(50% Fat/40% Protein)
Meals planned for today:
Meal 1 - 4 eggs, 1 scoop low carb MD
Meal 2 - 3.5oz chicken breast, broccoli, 1 tbsp EVOO
Meal 3 - 3.5oz chicken breast, broccoli, 1oz almonds
Meal 4 - 3.5oz chicken breast, broccoli, 2tsp fish oil
Meal 5 - 2 scoop low carb MD, broccoli, 2 tsp fish oil
Wassup, Sayjin
Thanks for droppin’ in on my thread. Don’t worry about the V-taper…it’ll come. I had to work for mine, real hard and I’m still no where near where I want it to be.
Monday
Meal 1 - 6 eggs
Meal 2 - 1 scoop Low-Carb Metabolic Drive
Meal 3 - 2 hot dog, 1 tbsp Natty Peanut Butter, 3.5oz chicken breast
Periworkout - 2 scoop Grow! Whey, 30g BCAA
Meal 4 - 1 scoop Low-Carb Metabolic Drive, 2 tsp fish oil, 1 serving Superfood
Meal 5 - 4 eggs, broccoli
Meal 6 - 4oz beef, broccoli
Workout
Squat - 270 (3x5)
Military Press - 115 (3x5)
Pendlay Row - 125 (3x5)
Everything went fine without a hitch today, but I anticipate that I’ll only be upping my Squats by about 5lbs per workout instead of the 10-15lbs that is recommended in the program, and I’m ok with that as long as I continue to make some sort of progress.
I’ve also decided to start and end each day with 10 burpees, since I imagine it can only help.
Just checkin in on ya bro from NYC, looks like everything is going well.
How are school/work going?
Rage on ragin sayjin.
Things are going alright, thanks for asking. I’m still getting the hang of accounting, and as soon as I get caught up on some reading for my lit class I’ll be sitting pretty. Hows NYC treating you, you and your bro have anything exciting planned?

Glad to hear things are well. Yeah accounting was always tough for me. I got a C in both my accounting classes barely. Accounting just wasn’t my thing, but if it is for you, then run with it.
NYC is good, nice and warm, a lot warmer than where I live now. No solid plans, just winging it basically. Last time I came we had everything mapped out, this year it’s more of a go with the flow attitude. Feels a little more relaxed this way, more flexibility.
We did go to the gym today at my brother’s school, it’s nice, all new equipment. They had a powerlifting room with O-Lifting platforms, GHR’s, power racks, etc. but it was only for the rowing team 
Oh well, got a good workout in anyways.
Tuesday
Weight - 185.5
I don’t want to jinx myself, but I really think I am going to hit 183 by Friday, if not lower…as long as my body doesn’t do anything stupid.
11:30am - 2 HRX, 10 burpees
Meal 1 - 1 scoop Low-Carb Metabolic Drive, 2 tbsp flax meal
Meal 2 - 1 scoop Low-Carb Metabolic Drive, 2 tbsp flax meal
Meal 3 - 4oz chicken breast, broccoli, 1oz almonds
2 HRX
Meal 4 - 3.5oz chicken breast, broccoli, 1oz almonds
Meal 5 - 4 eggs, 1tsp fish oil, broccoli
Meal 6 - 1 scoop Low-Carb Metabolic Drive, 1 serving Superfood, 1tsp fish oil
10 burpees
These HRX are a saving grace for these 1400 calorie days, since I hardly feel hungry and by the time I do its almost time for another meal.
Hey bro,
Just checking in to say hi. Nice work so far, I’m looking forward to seeing your next set of progress pics!
Thanks for the support, Nova - only 2 more days until I take some new pics!
Wednesday
Weight 184.5
I expected to be back up to 186 or something this morning due to the fluxuations my body goes through normally, but apparently I was wrong!
2 HRX, 10 burpees
Meal 1 - 10oz steak, broccoli
Meal 2 - 1 scoop low carb Metabolic Drive, 2 tbsp flaxmeal, 2oz almonds, broccoli
Periworkout - 2 scoop Grow!, 30g BCAA
Meal 3 - 4oz chicken breast, broccoli, 1tbsp EVOO
2 HRX
Meal 4 - 1 scoop low carb Metabolic Drive, 2tbsp flax meal, 1tsp fish oil, 1oz almonds
(Going to a friend’s party tonight, so depending I’m packing another emergency shake consisting of the above incase I get hungry)
Meal 5 - 4 eggs, broccoli
Will post my workout data after I finish it later today.
Workout:
Squat - 275 (3x5)
Bench Press - 190 (3x5)
Deadlift - 265 (1x5)
Pullup - Bodyweight (1x8)
Dips - Bodyweight (1x8)
Nothing to mention except that I must have a very, very weak link because they are much more of a struggle than they should be. The squats are still getting more and more difficult, but I haven’t hit a set where I couldn’t get the weight up, so I’ll continue to add 5lbs per workout until I hit that point.
I’m sitting here in the computer lab working on a paper and I was hit with this sudden realization: I have no business cutting yet. I’m still relatively young, and pretty damn new to the iron, so I should be concentrating my efforts on gaining strength and mass and not cutting to reveal the small amount of muscle I actually have.

Meal 2 - 5oz chicken breast, broccoli, 1oz almonds

Today was scheduled a workout day, but I have work in an hour and have a bunch of running around to do still and then after that I’m having dinner with my mom, so I’m not going to stress myself out and possibly not get a quality workout in - pushing it back until tomorrow when I get off work.
