They're actual squats. I do have a problem with getting parallel as I said, but I've been getting better while still raising my weight, so that's good I guess.

Hey there... the thread above has some good info about what types of foods to eat, etc... although it is pretty impressive how much better your diet is in such a short period of time :.

Thanks. Fixed.

By the way, I've stopped taking that crappy creatine. I'm going to ditch it and buy some (when I get more cash and after I get some quality whey powder) that doesn't have a bagillion (yes.. a bagillion) carbs per serving).

Whey protein should be very helpful for you, particularly in the carb-reducing capacity. Using 2-3 scoops of whey protein instead of KFC chicken will make a difference. Plus there is nothing more convenient than liquid protien.

Weight: 169lbs
7:15AM - 3 eggwhites + 4 oz. 1% milk (ran out) + 1 banana + 16 oz. iced tea (205cal - 2g fat, 34g carbs, 15g protein)
12:15PM - 4 chicken tenders + 2 cookies + 24 oz. water (790cal - 35g fat, 82g carbs, 40g protein) Yeah.. shouln't have had those two cookies, but the rest of the day should be pretty clean
3:00PM - Small-sided soccer for 30 minutes with friends
4:00PM - 16 oz. water
4:30PM - ~6 oz. steak + 16 oz. iced tea + salad w/ ranch dressing - (375cal - 14g fat, 10g carbs, 50g protein)
7:30PM - Workout + 40 oz. water
9:30PM - 2 scoops of whey in 16 oz. of 1% milk (430cal - 9g fat, 30g carbs, 57g protein)
11:00PM - 16 oz. water

Totals for today: (1800cal - 60g fat, 156g carbs, 162g protein)
30% fat, 35% carbs, 35% protein
132 oz. water (counting milk)

This is by far the best day I've had so far. I'm 100 calories over my goal for today, but that's because of the cookies I had during lunch. I usually get two servings of whatever looks most "healthy" on the school lunch menu, but from now on, I'm going to add two scoops of whey to my milk in the morning and cut it down to 1 serving of school crap for lunch. This should keep my caloric intake relatively the same, but bump up the protein a lot.

I'm very very happy with my workout tonight. I went up in weight in all, but two of my lifts compared to last week!

Military Press - 115x5, 115x4x2
Seated DB Press - 45x4, 45x3 (bad left shoulder didn't want to cooperate)
Standing Side Lateral DB Raises - 25x6, 30x5

Barbell Shrugs (Smith machine) - 195x6, 215x6
Upright Rows - 65x6, 75x6

Lat Pull-downs (front) - 125x4, 125x3 (I could've counted 5 reps on the first set and 4 on the second, but I try not to count reps that aren't of near-perfect quality)
T-Bar Rows - 90x4x2

Good Mornings - 135x6, 145x6 (I'm getting WAY more comfortable with this exercise)
Weighted Hyperextensions - 45x6, 55x6

Well.. this morning I woke up at 3:30AM with a pounding headache. I went to the doctor and it's either a sinus infection or some sort of flu, so in any case, I feel like ass today.

9:00AM - 2 scoops of whey in 16 oz. of 1% milk (430cal - 9g fat, 30g carbs, 57g protein)
9:30AM - 4:30PM - ~40 oz. water
4:45PM - 2 large pieces of chicken breast w/ a dab of thousand island dressing + 16 oz. water (450cal - 6g fat, 4g carbs, 90g protein)
6:45PM - 12 oz. Mountain Dew (184cal - 46g carbs) Yeah... I know.
8:30PM - 8 oz. cranberry juice (120cal - 30g carbs)

Totals for today: 1184cal - 15g fat, 110g carbs, 147g protein)
Well.. I fell way short of my caloric goal today because I'm sick. I tried to eat, but just couldn't. I'm sure you all know how that's like. I did make myself suck down a protein shake and a bunch of chicken breast though.

I was at the doctor and/or asleep from 10:00 to 4:30, so that's why I didn't eat anything.

Ah....the high school cafeteria. I think the healthiest thing on the menu back in my day was french fries & gravy.



Do you have anything reasonable to choose from?

I feel like I just keep getting on you about the diet, but then again I think you want me (or somebody) to do that...

Vegetables, man! Vegetables! That salad yesterday should be, like, EVERY day, or some green beans, or sweet potato, or zucchini...

Making myself hungry...

Really though, the diet is already way better. I submit to you that your diet is a major factor in why you lifted so well yesterday.

Nope there's nothing that I would consider reasonable, so I just choose the item that is the "best".

Well.. I hope that pound is either water weight or fat. I only took in around 1200 calories yesturday and 400 of that was sugar. I couldn't make myself eat and the same is going to go for today. I feel absolutely terrible.

What will having a fever do to my body in regards to muscle and fat? Mine is normally around 97.5. Yesturday it was 99.7 and this morning it's 101.7.

11:00AM(just woke up) - 2 scoops of whey in 16 oz. of 1% milk + 1 multivitamin (430cal - 9g fat, 30g carbs, 57g protein)
12:00PM - banana + 16 oz. water (120cal - 31g carbs, 1g protein)
12:15PM - Workout + 20 oz. water
1:30PM - Postworkout meal - Lasagna + 20 oz. water (550cal - 22g fat, 50g carbs, 38g protein)
2:15PM - Wrecked my car
8:00PM - Large piece of chicken breast w/ a dab of thousand island dressing + 16 oz. water (260cal - 6g fat, 4g carbs, 45g protein)
9:30PM - Small portion of nachos and cheese 16 oz. iced tea (350cal - 22g fat, 34g carbs, 4g protein)

Totals: 1710cal - 59g fat, 149g carbs, 145g protein

God... this past month has been so bad. I hit a patchof ice today going to my girlfriend's house and totally messed up my car. I'm gonna be sore in the morning!

I'm down 3 pounds since I got sick and by the way I look, I think a lot of that was muscle. GREAT!... I'm going to try and get my diet back on track these next few days and go to the gym for a quick chest/ab workout today. I'm just interested to see if I lost any strength.

Incline BB Bench: 135x6, 155x4, 145x5
Flat Db Bench: 55x6x2
Decline BB bench: 145x5x1

Cable Rope Crunches: 130x6x1

I was going to do 3 sets of cable rope crunches and then two sets of weighted crunches, but I started feeling bar after that one set, so I decided to call it quits for today.

My chest lifts wern't bad, but they wern't good by any means.

Drag...sorry about the car. I don't think it's possible to lose 3 pounds of muscle in 3 days.
