WOW

I am still waiting on my new workout and diet program from Team Scivation. I did get there supplements in today and I am thoroughly impressed so far. I took a serving of VasoCharge and 1 serving of Xtend before my workout and I have never felt such a pump and my endurance was through the roof. When my muscles were fatigued from the set I could still push out a few more reps that I wouldn't normally be able to do. I weighed in at 230 Lbs today and I can really feel the affect of having the extra 12 lbs on me that I am not used to. I get winded easily and sometimes I catch myself weezing slightly. I won't be gaining anymore weight as I feel 230 lbs is my limit.

I've read Team Scivation's book called CHA which stands for Carb Haters Anonymous. This is the diet that Derek will be putting me on so I went ahead and started what I think would be similar to what he would have me do. I didn't eat all the meals I was supposed to today but here is what I ate. The diet is based on a set amount of macro-nutrients per meal. For the 2500 calorie plan I need 49 grams of protein and 25 grams of fat per meal. Should be about 421 calories per meal.

Meal 1--4 egg whites and 5 whole eggs
Meal 2--just ate some beef jerkey, should of also had some good fats
Meal 3--2.5 scoops of Solution 5 which is Scivation's meal replacement and 30 almonds
Meal 4--6 ounces of chicken and 5 oz of avocado which turns out to be 1 whole avocado. That's awesome cause I love avocados.

As you can see I am about 1200 calories short of what I need for the day. I will probably drink another shake and eat 30 more almonds before I go to bed.

I am really going to enjoy Scivation Xtend. I mixed in 1 serving with 32oz's of water and have been sipping on it. Turns boring water into a nice refreshing drink and I am also getting in all the Branch chained amino acids my body will need in order to help repair and build my muscles. It should also help keep my energy up since I will be eating very few carbs each day. I am shooting to take 9 scoops of Xtend a day. I only drank 6 scoops worth since I didn't get the supplements until after lunch. On another note, I tried to drink a diet dr pepper today after drinking some xtend and the dr pepper tasted horrible.

Will be a hard workout on Thursday. I need to do back, legs, shoulders and triceps since I will be away from the gym until Monday.

Starting new program

I will be starting a new program in the next few weeks. I signed up for Derek Charlebois of Scivation to make a specific workout and diet plan for my body and he will tailor it weekly to meet my specific goals of losing fat. From what I read about their diet plan it will be a low carb diet which I have done before in the past. I don't know the specifics yet but when I do I will post it here so that you can see what I will be doing. I'm looking forward to seeing what he has in store for me. I will more than likely be switching to Scivation products so that I can follow his plan better.

Day 46

Felt much better so I was able to work out this morning. I did legs. Couldn't squat as many resp as I wanted due to a lower back pump. Felt like it was going to start cramping because of the pump it had. It was pumped from lack of squatting. Looking forward to shoulders on Friday and arms on Saturday.

Day 44. Tuesday 15 December

I worked out back on Tuesday. I usually have a hard time making my back sore so I did lots of reps and sets and tried to keep good form. My back is a little sore today so I got in a descent work out.

I may be coming down with a cold so I will take Wednesday off. If I can work out on Thursday I will do legs.

Day 43

I started back on my regular lifting routine this week.
I just worked chest today and I did lots of sets and lots of reps and finished my chest of with 3 sets of flexing my chest muscles.

I can already tell that I'm going to be extremely sore.

I'm just going to work back tomorrow. Lots of pull downs and rowing movements.

Day 40

I'm taking the next three days off before I go back to my old workout routine on Monday. Wanted to give my body some rest.

Day 38

Workouts are still going good. I'm kind of getting tired of doing the circuit routine for weight training so next week I am going to go back to my old routine of lifting only
one to two muscle groups per day. I'm only going to do this for a few weeks to break up the monotony. I will do lots of reps and lots of sets and completely break down the muscle. Here are a few progress pics. Lat flex, most muscular and side tricep shot.
