I'd can the Pickles, those are greasy sleaze merchants. They're just all Salty and blerrch. They remind me of Slugs I don't know why .

You'll be removing some pretty dud calories too, but I like the other things you're doing, though you're going to have to add more Protein to meal two, apart from a bit in your Bread, (incomplete Protein), and a bit in your Peanut Butter, and maybe a nearly microscopic amount in your Fruit smoothie whatsit thingummyjig, you're not getting it, and now you're on a Doctors all clear to lift again, you need those scrumptious Protein Amino Acids to help you get a better mass building environment for your body.

Meal 2 will to some extent work against that, because most proteins, barring Casein proteins, digest in roughly 3 hours, so if your body isn't getting any Protein thereafter, by meal 3, you're getting potentially 1-2 hours of no Protein utilisation by the body, which will mean the body may have to use muscle to compensate.

Not a lot, but it still will be counterproductive in the long run, as it will take the edge off your growth potential.

You could Add something like Low Fat Cheese in there, and just reduce the Fruit amount in your smoothies, as you'll be using the Cheese to compensate for the reduced Fruit Carbs.

Or include things like Sliced Turkey or Chicken if possible, that's already pre-cooked or sliced in a packet, (and keep the Fruit Carbs the same), because a lot of Protein sources would need cooking, and I suspect you wouldn't have the time when you're having meal two, so those types of ready to go, no cooking required Protein sources, would work for you.

So I had the first real max effort lift in a while today. It actually fell on the day we tested for my football team, so all I did was a 40, vertical, 3 cone drill, and bench press. I ran a 4.95 (we had to start in a two point which killed everyones time), jumped 29, ran a 4.44, and benched 150 26 times (that was the weight they chose to rep). I just want to thank everyone who's helped me out with advice and routines and everything else, those times and numbers were by far the best of any freshmen and in the top 5 out of 65 for the rest of the team each time. I attribute all of it to the routines and advice I've gotten here. thank you.

Today was a little pressed for time so my workout was shortened a bit:

Squat: 185x12 195x12 195x12
Lunge: 115x12 115x12 115x12
Landmines: 20x6 20x6 20x6
Planks: 2:00 2:00 2:00

Back hurt a bit and stiffened up after the squats, talked to the trainer and they said to avoid power lifts, regardless of how light a weight I use.

Later had to do a 3 mile run for football :-/

i'd deadlift 3 x more than squat if i were you...no compression...at least lower the reps as you'll get tired doing sets of 12 and then technique falls down and again you'll get injured

So between practice and physical therapy I haven't had much time the past couple days to workout. However, my physical therapist recommended that I don't do any power lifts (squat, deadlift, etc) until he clears me. I was wondering what I should do workout wise then. I'm allowed to do bodyweight exercises I believe with the lower body, so I'll probably sub in some of those along with dumbbell lunges in place of squats.

i'd still do them with an empty bar if you can to keep the motor pattern down
