I am not going to update a daily diet, but will make comments. My diet consists of mainly eggs,protein bars,shakes,chicken,sweet potatoes,wheat bread.

If i have time or feel the need I will update this more.

Wednesday: SHOULDERS / TRAPS

COMMENTS

Strength: (6/10) pretty much where its been...left score to be improved
Stamina: (8/10)-got through a pretty ridiculous workout
Sleep: (3/10)-slept pretty bad last night and was EXHAUSTED all day till my workout---looking to see the PowerFULL take over here
Recovery: not comment yet
Muscle Fullness/Hardness: (6/10)--i felt full today...likely due to increase in cals/carbs...i have been low carbing for a long time prior to this so its a bit different feeling to me. I also tend to ALWAYS think i am getting fat and not putting muscle on...very self-conscious when it comes to this (use to be on the chubbier side)
Overall Mood: (5/10)--Again, I was so exhausted today i had to down (2) red bulls throughout the day which i have not had to do in a long time--likely due to only about 5 hrs sleep (none "truly good" hours). I had a good workout though so thats where my 5 pts came from today...

Muscle Fullness/Hardness: 6/10...i felt a bit harder today and definitely a bit more firm but not enough yet to up me a point in this category.
