this was one of the best workouts ive ever done. lol. each one of my sets was a smooth and had nice form.

DIET- woke up at 10. (i love bein a kid in the summer. lol) ate at around 10:30. i had 3 scrambled eggs with 2 pieces of wheat toast and a large glass of milk.

12 (pre workout meal)- one small package of instant oatmeal and 8 ounces of coffee...i need the caffine...and 8 ounces of water along w/ the creatine i take. (German creatine from fitnesslabs.com)

1-2:30- workout...immediately after i workout i take muscle milk protein and another serving of the creatine.

3:30- 7 oz. package of tuna which contains 45 g of protein for each package. almost too much to take in at one time

6:00- sub sandwhich from work...6 oz. of turkey,roastbeef, and ham. onlything i added was a lil honey mustard.

10:30 muscle milk shake before bed.

tomorrow ill be doing legs and shoulders...maybe light ab work also.

anybody want to critique my workout or diet feel free....im always ready to learn! thanks
