Day 1

The last month I've been hitting the gym kind of lightly and eating horrible foods. I've eaten jack in the box, taco bell, mcdonalds, and other pretty unhealthy stuff.  Luckily i haven't really gained weight.  I got an email from bodybuilding.com about a "transformation" contest and the winner gets 100,000 dollars.  Winning is impossible since most of the winners are kind of obese to start with and well I'm not.  So today I started a new diet and exercise program where I'll be eating extremely clean and pushing myself harder for the next 12 weeks.  It will be difficult because there's a lot of things I'm trying to do here.  Build muscle mass, burn fat, and get stronger.  I have to be extremely strict with my diets and actually push myself when working out.  My diet will be extremely boring from here on out.  Here's kind of my guidelines for what I'll be eating.

Meal 1
8 Egg Whites and 1 Yolk with Brown Rice
Meal 2
Protein shake with 50g protein
Meal 3
Meat, Vegetables, Brown Rice, and some almonds
Meal 4
Protein shake with 50g protein
Meal 5
Meat, Vegetables, Brown Rice
Meal 6
Post Workout Shake with 50g protein and 70g carbohydrates

So I will be eating "6" meals a day, but it's really 3 with 3 shakes.  The goal for protein is roughly 320 g per day. which I don't think I'm hitting with this current meal plan.  I will be taking a pre workout called 1 More Rep, an intra-workout bcaa called Scivation Xtend, protein called Myofusion, and my carbohydrate drink is called Vitargo.  Hopefully this diet will be good enough.

Today I started off with a leg workout.  I did 9 sets of squats which was probably the most I've ever done.  I did 2 warm up sets and I did a pyramid for 5 sets where I went up in weight every set, but did slightly less reps.  After those 5 sets I went back down and did 2 sets of 10.  The second exercise I did was leg press.  You are supposed to go all the way down, which is something I have trouble with because it's somewhat unnatural feeling, but I will just have to train myself to do it.  Third exercise was leg extensions where I did a 7 set pyramid and did 12-15 reps each.  My fourth exercise was hamstring curls which was just 3 sets of 10.  Tomorrow is Chest and triceps.  It will almost always have to be chest and triceps after leg days because my legs will hurt too much to do deadlifts.
