Met a lot of people and a LOT (almost all really) asked me if I dieted. I just wanna clarify that I HATE the word dieting and the act of dieting. Seen many people dieted down to scrawny then ballooned back up. The truth is I've been training faithfully. Gym is like my second home and thanks to a couple of my training partners, we've kept each other goin to train 4 days a week and not forgetting too, another thing I hate but is necessary, cardio.

For food, like I said, I hate dieting and I'll never succumb to dieting for obvious reasons. I just control the portion of every meal intake. I love McD's and I'll never give them up but cutting out the soda and fries helps a lot. I do cut out sugary drinks too and some of you may know that the coffeeshops around here are really generous in the sugar content in their drinks. I can live without them and so be it. I don't diet. I just adopt a cleaner lifestyle.

• Cut out sugary drinks / soda


• Moderation of junk food


• No meals after 9pm


• Never skip breakfast

Read up on Tom Venuto's "Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle", and trained based on the Optimized Volume Training which has been quite effective so far. Looking to probably alter it to Hypertrophy Specific Training but we'll see when I hit a plateau. For now, will post updates on my training progress as much as I can.
