alright so school started this week, the terrible the horrible the ..well you get the point.  But schoolwork wasn’t what I was afraid of this year, dealing with my eating schedule was.  I had gained about 10 lbs over the summer, weight all acquired by a good diet and hard training, I was in no way shape of form going to let school stop me from my offseason success, so once i got my schedule i figured it all out, the diet, the water, the bathroom, its all good now

Ok, this is my fist actual "blog" entry so bare with me.  After seeing my trainer on saturday (same one that helped me through my contest prep) to get me on a new bulking diet, I was actually very suprised at how simple bulking can be.  Unlike a contest diet, when you are on the offseason, it doesn’t matter if you have a little extra rice or if you have to get off your normal eating schedule.  For the entire month of June I was eating around 10 meals a day, and I was still craving food!  I was as my trainer said "making eating a job".  So, to sum this up, I have started taking a weight gainer by ISS called "Gainer Matrix", I take 3 sccops in the morning (2 pre workout, 1 postworkout) and then I take 2 1/2 scoops as my 4th meal.  This is much easier to deal with due to the fact that I have to work, and I am getting the same amount of calories that I would have gotten if I was eating whole foods.  This is my new diet:

1.  1 1/2 cups of oatmeal, 2 scoops of whey

2.  (preworkout) 2 scoops of ISS gainer 1 scoop of ISS Rush

3.  (postworkout) 1 scoop of ISS Resatur8, 1 scoop of ISS Gainer, 1 scoop of whey, mixed with gatoraid

4.  8 oz turkey, 1 1/2 cups of rice

5. 2 1/2 scoops of ISS Gainer

6.  8 OZ chicken/steak/fish, 12 oz sweet potato, veggies

7.  8 OZ Chicken, veggies

8.  3 sccops of Casein protein.

*I am also having about 2 gallons of water a day

As for training, Monday was my first day back into the gym from a 4 day vacation at the beach.  I was going to a gym at the beach from Monday-Wednesday, but just felt like i needed a break.  Boy I made the right choice, this week I have had the most intense workout sessions ever.  I started with Back on Monday, Chest on Tuesday, arms on Wednesday, and I hit legs today (thursday).  My leg workout was the hardest ever!  I trained with a trainer/bodybuilder/state champ and boy he knows how to kill em!  This was our workout:

warm up with 2 sets of squats 15 reps

Squat and leg press superset 4 X 12 12 8 2.  (went all the way up to 365 on the squat rack for last set)

walking barbell lunge (other side of gym and back)

leg extention *squeeze for 2 seconds at top and bottom* superset with standing leg curl 3 X 15 15 12

stiff leg deads 3 X 15

my legs were dead, this may not seem like alot but it sure as hell was enough kill my legs!
