guns I still don't know how to break it down. I think my problem is my pre-workout meal. I either have coffee, powder creamer, 1 egg, flax, vit, 4 oz grapefruit juice or coffee, creamer,3oz sweet potato, flax etc..

Now about my diet: I tend to get a bit irrational when discouraged , to say the least. Then.. in comes guns to save the day. Just when I start to think that I'm freewheeling it he reminds me there is a plan and adjustments have to be made. I did use a plan for this cut, not sure if it is the best one out there but I had to start somewhere. Even though guns has taught me so much it seems I'm still a novice. My recent mistake: I was underestimating the importance of the pre workout meal. I have never been a breakfast person and find it difficult even wanting anything to eat early in my day. Now that I crashed two whole days of my training it may have gotten through to my head the importance of that first meal. Sticking with the plan, just placing the carbs and protein (mixed meals) at different times. Here's what I used to make the plan. https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/brewster26.htm . Please tell me if this is flawed I don't want to have a thread that is for 'entertainment only'.

As long as the nutrition is on point. And you have scheduled rest days. Most of the time I think it is the mind just being lazy.

TweetTerrific session today! Going to pour it on for the next couple weeks until our Anniversary. Already the leanest summer I have had since 2014 so very happy with the whole training and diet package. I am taking off fat and retaining the muscle that was built over the past 3 years. Now most of the fat is on the top of my hips and around the back of my waistline so I can see that it is definitely possible to get rid of all the belly fat so many people say is impossible to shed. I will never quit!
