Wednesday was chest day

well...kind of, anyway :P

What I did:

 Bench Press:
  set 1: just with the bar (17kg) (8 reps)
  set 2:  with 2,5 each side (6 reps)
  set 3: with 5 each side (5 reps)

Next time I'll do RPT style...It was my first time so I felt a bit insecure of how much I should lift and ...I was to careful, but better safe than sorry so I went for a quite low weight tro avoid injuries, but now that I have a bit of an idea of what I can manage and whet not, next time I will be less clueless  :P

Incline Dumbbell Press:

  set 1: 6 kg each side - 7 reps
  sez 2: 5 kg each side - 7 reps

I wanted to use the 7,5 but it was not available...so I started with 6 and then 5, which was definitely too little, I can do more than that for sure! next time I'm aiming for 10- 7,5 - 6

Assisted Pull-ups: 

  set 1 : 50lbs  3reps
  set 2:  40 lbs 3 reps
I tried here with 30 lbs.... not able yet, I couldn't get all the way to the top.... Maybe next time.... So I repeated the second set once more. Again, next time I will do it RPT style, but since I wasn't sure what I can do and what not... it was kinda "rehearsal"

Dips:
  2 sets, each 5 reps


I'm really motivated , I'm enjoying it quite much, even tho sometimes I still feel a bit insecure...but it will get better, I can't wait for next time, esp. the pull-ups, I love them and I just want to get better and better. Next time I'll train will be either tomorrow or saturday, that depends on what I do today. If I go to Sh'bam + Bodypump + Bodycombat + CX worx, then I'll rest tomorrow. If I go to bodycombat + cx worx I'll work out tomorrow and rest on saturday.... I have to make up my mind yet.


As far as diet goes, this internet friend ( I call him my unofficial coach) made a plan for me based on macros:



So I'm following that... I love IIFYM, every training day is like a cheat day :D so great! I'm also doing IF (intermittent fasting) like the one described in leangains. It's funny how easily we can change habits, I always loved breakfast and never skipped it but I have adapted to this diet quite well.... I just hope it gives me some results...  It's less calories all in all than the diet I followed in winter, the one my so-called PT (who actually wasn't) gave me....that diet was good to gain muscle but now I want to cut.... I hope it works.... I'm not too happy about my looks, but well.... the transformation needs time and I guess I'm in the right path.

Some people advocate eating clean but I'll stick to IIFYM, i think it can work, and it is much easier to follow psychologically. Yesterday while having my post workout meal ( an oreo shake :P) I had to think of that quotation "when I eat crap I feel like crap" .... but for me actually is not like that...when I eat "crap" (in this case a mcdonald's oreo shake) I feel free... and happy, it was so yummy ! haha....This diet is awesome :D
