that's very low on carbs paul. architekt are you trying to lose weight or build ?

thanks for the comments so far!
trying to bulk at the moment (for around 3-4 months), and then move onto a cut cycle. i am a little worried of maybe having too many carbs throughout the day, as i'm not too bothered about gaining some bf, but obviously i wouldn't mind keeping it to a minimum!

think i'm gona start off a journal.
by the 3-4 months mark, i wana be getting:
100kg bench......currently 60-65kg (3rd set/6 reps)
200kg squats.....currently 140kg (3rd set/8 reps)
150kg deadlifts...currently 110kg (6-10 reps)

those strength goals are very ambitious... i suggest you correct them because otherwise you'll just be disappointed...

bushidodad

sounds great!
maybe a little too many evening carbs.

I think Nick's right, make your goals JUST enough to motivate yourself.

not to be negative, but there is a difference between goals and dreams. Are you sleep typing 8) lol

good luck in your endeavors and I'm looking forward to your journal.

Ii do think cutting and bulking is more suited AAS use than a natty dude.
i think you`d be better off lean bulking.
odd how your squat is so far ahead of your deadlift-
its usually the other way round,but then some peeps are more suited for squatting than others.

einsteins mind was the key to all things...to understand more than to know.

cheers for the comments.
regards to my goals...yeah i know they're ambitious! but this is how i motivate myself! i know i will probably lack on bench press, but the others i reckon i could get! i wouldn't be disappointed, afterall, i'm always happy with any gains i make.

cal...i never used to do deadlifts and only just started doing them. reckon i could go heavier, but i keep losing my grip. need to get some straps. love doing my squats!
referring to bulking/cutting, i meant just changing my diet etc.
could you explain a bit more about a lean diet please. thanks.

btw..sliced chicken = sliced chicken breast

Gains are why we are here. F*ck aim for the stars.

ARK, I think lean and clean is the way to go, for cutting. I have cleaned up my diet recently and it just makes me so much more efficient and productive. I had some real good help putting it together. It is ever evolving for I am still figuring out portion sizes. It is a cutting nutritional plan right now (I am not using the word diet any more) and I have felt improvement in several aspects. Especially how long basmati rice will fill you up. I ate half a cup at 7am and had to make myself eat at 1:30pm.

I made some changes in my diet yesterday they are as such:

Meals
#1 Protein Shake, 3 egg whites, 1 yolk, 1/2 cup oatmeal, vitamins
7am
#2 1/2 chicken breast, 1/4 cup basmati
9.30
#3 MyoPlex MRP
11 - workout - protein shake
#4 1/2 chicken breast, 1/4 cup basmati
1.30pm
#5 MyoPlex MRP
4
#6 8oz orange ruffy (fish), fibrous vegetables
6.30
#7 Protein Shake, fiber supplement, fibrous vegetables

I continue to make progress in the gym, and I am really starting to feel tight. Weight has been fallin off. I lost 10 lbs in the first 12 days and now just losing about 3-4 lbs a week.

I hope this is what you were after.
