Then I trundled down to Plymouth with my GF and had a night out with Pscarb which was probably the best night I've had in a long time. Because I knew I would be going to PLymouth for the weekend I puposefully started my diet a bit early so that the 2 days wouldnt set me back in my progress. Actually funnily enough after 10 ****tails I looked quite dry the next day

Sunday I had a Sunday Lunch before we came back to Bristol, I was going to train on Sunday night but unfortunately my calfs were cramped right up from my Friday Hams and Calf session so I decided to rest - With a curry, watched 'The Brave One' with Jodie Foster on DVD which was good and had a bath and massage to relax before this week.

Last week was a bit haphazard for me just because it ws the first week back on diet.

Although I didnt cheat or anything like that I had to get back into the rhythm again and got caught out with my eggs being off on Friday so had to have Coley instead which wasnt a problem.

This week Im much more organised and have all my supplements and food in stock now so will be easy to stick to the diet as I planned it.

I lost 1kg last week so thats good progress.

My diet will follow this plan.

Monday - Low day
Tuesday - Low day
Wednesday - Med day
Thursday - Low Day
Friday - Low day
Saturday - High/Cheat
Sunday - Low day

Low days will be about 250g of carbs Med 400g and High 600+

Fats will be adjusted on Med and High days to compensate for the higher carbs.

What I will do this week is Post up a snapshot of my diet diary on Low and Med days so that you can see the macros. This will remain fairly constant throughout until I see a slowdown then I will adjust and post up the changed diet.

Training wise I am still following my off season training spilt of spacing my workouts over a week and a day. I found this so productive in the off season I dont see any reason to change it at the moment.

Cardio wise I do 40 minutes on the X trainer or Treadmill each morning and 40 minutes on the stepper in the evening which burns about 850-950 calories a day.
It'll be interesting to see how your macros break down Tom as im Offseason at the moment kind of but doing cardio almost daily for 30mins. Im not big into carbs and i had what for me was alot of carbs the other day and it only worked out at 350g of carbs and that also included my PWO drink with 60g carbs from WMS. I felt i literrally had to force feed myself that amount and felt bit bloated all day, however after a nights kip id tightened gain which was a releif. But what does one do when trying to gain muscle between shows. What a sport eh.....
