New Fitness Plan

I'm trying out a new fitness plan as of yesterday in an attempt to both improve my muscle definition and add a little bit more mass. The plan has two components...

1. The Meal Plan - Six Meals/Day

• Meal 1 - High Fiber Cereal w/lowfat milk, fruit, or yogurt (low - fat), or a meal replacement bar
• Meal 2 - Protein Bar
• Meal 3 - Lunch - Turkey, chicken (if sandwiches w/whole wheat bread), cottage cheese, lowfat cheese, fruit and/or vegetable
• Meal 4 - Protein Bar
• Meal 5 - Supper - Lean Beef, Turkey, Chicken, brown rice, cottage cheese, lowfat cheese, baked potato, vegetable and/or fruit
• Meal 6 - Protein Shake, fruit

I can use different variations of similara foods in the mail plan. I can also have coffee if I want it. Day 7 is "Cheat Day" so I can eat pretty much whatever I want that day. I've heard the longer I'm on this meal plan the less I'll want to eat "junk" foods.

2. The Workout Plan

• Day 1 - Arms, Shoulders, Abs, Calves, light cardio
  
• Day 2 - Chest, Back, light cardio
  
• Day 3 - Legs, Abs, Calves, light cardio
  
• Day 4 - OFF

Then repeat. I will use the "muscle confusion" theory and mix sevearl different movements and weight levels into my workout so keep myself from "getting used to" anything. My best lifts right now are..

The Preacher Curl - 140lbs - 3 sets of 8 reps (sometimes I'm try to pyramid up on this)
The Hammer Curl - 2 sets, 8 reps with the 35lb dumbbells, 1 set of 8 reps with the 40lb dumbbells
Seated Leg Lifts - 3 sets, 8 reps 215lbs.
Seated Leg Curls - 3 sets, 8 repgs 175 lbs.

Bench press is probably my worst lift...I've never been a big fan of it.

I'll make blog entries every now and then noting my progress.
