I usually don't do too much milk throughout the day prior to the workout. At night a few hours before bed but after my 3rd meal, I tend to gorge on milk and typically drink 1/2 to 3/4ths of my daily gallon along with some almonds and fruit in a 1 or 2 hour span. I don't really feel like keeping track of my diet for every day, but it usually goes 3 eggs+some sort of bread item or cereal in the morning, also a glass of milk. Lunch is a cold meat sandwich, sometimes with leftovers from the previous days dinner, another glass of milk here. Dinner is chicken, steak, or salmon and brown rice or a potato, sometimes with vegetables. Snacks are scattered through the day and are pretty much just nuts and fruit of various types, usually almonds and berries. I've had a grand total of 5 cheat meals since may 9th when I moved back to my mom's house. I won't be able to keep up such a strict diet once I get back to college, I'm sure. It's kinda nice living at home sometimes, it's close to an unlimited grocery budget and I have all the time in the world to cook my meals.
I do moderate cardio in the morning before breakfast 2-3 times a week as well. I find it increases my appetite substantially and it's good just for general cardiovascular health, which is especially important since I have asthma. Usually this just means 6-8 minutes of light jogging, nothing that could really interfere with barbell training.
Week 8, Day 2
Warmups for everything but seated db press
Power Cleans: 3x130, 3x130, 3x130
Standing Military Press: 6x95, 6x95
Barbell Shrugs: 6x235, 6x235
Seated DB press: 6x50, 6x50
I dropped the weight on standing press because I wasn't quite satisfied with my form and I wanted to keep it super clean. I feel like I'm close to mastering powerclean form finally and the motion is just feeling super natural. Before, it just felt really clumsy and awkward, especially from catching the bar then going to the front squat. Still perfecting it though.
