It’s usual to write the weight lifted as a total. So 45lb each side = 90lb + bar (20k if an olympic bar) would = 110lb bench press. If it’s not an olympic bar then you might want to weight it, so you can know exactly what you are lifting.
You are trying to mix lbs and kgs. 20k=45lbs, which means that a 45 on each side is 90lbs+bar (45lbs)=135lbs.

Haha…so you spotted my deliberate mistake! Opps yeah that’s what happens when you try and do math at 11pm. I’m used to working in Kgs but know that in the US you use lbs so I guess my brain mixed the two together. Sorry bout that TsNod, I wasn’t trying to make things more confusing.
To answer your other question, yeah add the oats to what you are eating already for breakfast and see how you go. Breakfast should be the biggest meal as you won’t have eaten all night and the carbs will give you energy.

Correct me if I’m wrong anyone, but your body enters a catabolic state during sleep. It uses muscle as fuel because that gives the most bang for your buck. A lot of energy to keep you going. So, you need to get up earlier and start eating to stop the muscle breakdown.

This is actually incorrect, your body is using almost entirely fat during sleep for energy however there is very little energy expended.

It is very hard to eat 6 solid meals a day.
Yup, it is. A lot of worth while things in life are difficult. Otherwise everyone would be hyoooge with hawt abz.[/quote]
This is true, which is why I think he’s off to a better start than most individuals by learning the basics of eating 5-6 protein meals a day, training with a simple progressive plan. Watch out for this guy haha, he’s going to reach his goals.
Haha, yeah im forced to eat the protein meals =( But in 6 days my Protein Powder & Post Powder arrive! No more going insane looking at my clock and hearing 6 different alarms go off on my phone any longer! WOOT WOOT!

Thanks Scott. Appreciate the correction. Yes I should have looked that up first. I remember reading somewhere about bodybuilders eating protein during the night to prevent muscle loss.

Hey guys sorry I have had PC Issues and had 3 big classes @ USF this weekend.
I have been eating every 3 hours 6 meals a day consisting of the chicken & fish & veggies + OJ&Sweet Potatos after workouts only.
I have done all 3 workout A’s and B’s, Saturday I did workout A and on Sunday aka today I did cardio… tomorrow I think I do workout A again or is it B? gotta check.
I have not given myself a completely off day since when I do get bored I do enjoy running for fun, I hope it isn’t REQUIREd to take a full day off?
Hey thanks man, and sorry for not posting guys, I am writing it all down and tomorrow morning as soon as I eat I will make a big post with everything I have been doing!
