      Making a Mountain out of a Mole Hill

      Ok so here is the deal... I needed a journey to have for a long long time. No specific results other than constant imporvement.

      The old saying that is the name for this journey is one that is true of me right now. I am a mole hill, all 6'0 214lb. 12% bf of me. See where I'm going with this... There will be a mountain of a man made of myself; all the same way that mountains are made in real life. Tons of pressure, strain, pain, agony, tears, sweat and blood! It takes a million years to make a diamond and I dont have that long to wait, so it's time to get busy!

      This journey will have all, no more creating them for each and every thing. If I'm bulking I'm here; same as if cutting or maintaining. I feel it's time journey wise to be like I must be with the weights consistant. No more bouncing around and creating these things at a whim. I will be here, day in day out, with food or the iron in hand, and if I'm not here I will be sleeping so that I can heal, grow, and improve.

      For those who have been along on the previous 2 journeys, this one will be no different... Lots of variety, intensity, and well all out fun, which is what this is all about anyway. I will keep updates on my diets, thoughts, yadda yadda...

      Sit back and enjoy the show!

      Sunday 7-13-08

      So after getting back from vacation, a week without weights or any stimulation to speak of my body is fully rested and ready to rock this week! I ate at least 5 times a day, most all clean. But, I did cheat on my Birthday and had some deserts at other times.

      So to start the week of right I hit up some HIT cardio this a.m. 20 minutes worth as I have to get rid of some of the water retention I had from vacation. Did a 5 minute warm up and cool down period as well. This felt good and was a great way to start the week.

      Got shoulders, tris, and abs tomorrow....

      Philo. for the next few weeks maybe month or longer is a 4 day split. Cardio will be on non-training days, Sun. Wed. and Friday and be an alternation of HIT and low intensity long duration.

      Mon- Shoulders, Tris, abs - These are areas that need impoved alot so I'm starting them up front when will be most rested. We will see what happens!
      Tuesday - Back - always a fun day!
      Thursday- Chest, bis, abs
      Saturday- Wheelz -end the week the best way possible, with the funnest day in the gym!

      Diet will be clean, as I have really learned a lot about it and my body and what works for it.

      I am thinkin carb cycling for a while... will most likely be .5 g of carbs on day 1, 1g on day 2, 1.5 on day 3, then repeat the cycle. I will have a cheat meal every 5th day I'm thinking, but I will gauge this as things progress and it may be cut back to a weekly thing. Eating this way starts tomorrow with .5 grams about 100 (most will be in and around work outs on these days, Torrent being 52 grams of that and most likely oats about an hour and a half before I train). As for the other days, seeing as how I currently train in the a.m I will keep most of my carbs in before 3 p.m. Today I'm keeping carbs to a min to help flush some fat quickly. As I progress though the next few months I plan on eating this same way and bumping carbs up gradually, much like "The Freak" does in an attempt to keep my bf low while gaining as much lean mass as possible.
