The Boise Fitness Expo was a blast! While I was there, I shot a leg training video. We also decided to schedule a Team Scivation training video with Bodybuilding.com. The date we decided on for the shoot is the week of June 25. You know what that means - 10 weeks of dieting! It is all good, I know just the plan...

Here are some update photos from three days into the diet at 204lbs!

Three Days Into The Diet.

The Showtime Cut Diet

Once again, the Showtime Cut Diet has begun. My diet is a bit of an experiment nonetheless, where I will have planned caloric cuts based on what I have done before. I will cut calories after every carb meal. Here is the progression, with each calorie cut coming the day immediately after a carb meal:

• Grapefruit from meal 5
• 6 almonds from meal 6
• 6 almonds from meal 5
• 6 almonds from meal 4
• 6 almonds from meal 3
• 6 almonds from meal 2
• 6 almonds from meal 1
• Grapefruit from meal 1
• 6 almonds from meal 6
• 6 almonds from meal 5
• 6 almonds from meal 4
• 6 almonds from meal 3
• 6 almonds from meal 2
• 6 almonds from meal 1

This will have me near starvation for the final weeks, but as we have seen in this series, I have a hard time LOSING muscle and do well with caloric restriction. I will keep my carb meals decently consistent, and go by feel.

Here Is My Diet:

Meal 1

• 6 oz meat
• 1 cup broccoli, asparagus or green beans
• 12 Almonds
• 6.5oz Grapefruit

Meals 2-4 and 6

• 6 oz meat
• 1 cup broccoli, asparagus or green beans
• 12 Almonds

Meal 5

• 6 oz meat
• 1 cup broccoli, asparagus or green beans
• 12 Almonds
• 6.5oz Grapefruit

Carb Meal Every 18th Meal Replacing Meal 6:

• 1.5 Cups Green Beans
• 3/4 Cup Oatmeal
• 18 Almonds
• Whole Grapefruit
• 6 oz yam
• 2tbsp Almond Butter

Training

I am still training with 15 reps. My body doesn't ache as much and the pump when taking VasoXplode pre workout is unreal!

I have also moved to what has worked in the past-the training split from Game Over modified to hit my weak spots earlier in the week. Here it is:

• Monday: Shoulders/Calves
• Tuesday: Back/Traps
• Wednesday: Arms/Calves
• Thursday: Legs
• Friday: Chest/Abs
• Saturday: Light Weak Spot Training (Back and Shoulders)
• Sunday: REST

Cardio will be performed 1st thing in the morning Monday through Saturday for 45 minutes. The cardio will be low-intensity treadmill-walking on an incline.

Until Next Time!

Keep training hard and remember, Milk is for babies, Xtend is for men!
