Yup. Your body makes more than you ingest. Take some fish oil to keep the good cholesterol up and add to your good fats. The ratio of good to bad is more important than the total cholesterol number.

Workout:

Depletion #2

Leg Extension - 3 sets, 15 reps
Leg curl - 3 sets, 15 reps
Machine Bench - 3 sets, 15 reps
Lat Pulldown - 3 sets, 15 reps
Lateral Raise Machine - 3 sets, 15 reps
DB curls - 3 sets, 15, 20, 15 reps
Incline Machine - 3 sets, 15 reps
BB row - 3 sets, 15 reps
Tricep Rope Extension - 3 sets, 15, 15, 20 reps

Followed with a double header of indoor soccer. Didn't sub out, either, so I had plenty of energy in the legs. Still going to do a final depletion tomorrow, mainly focusing on legs, and probably a once-over on the rest of the body. I went a little bit over in carbs today, so I may need it.

Nutrition:

No fasting today. Woke up and had a shake.

Trutein + MCT oil shake
2 lbs grilled shrimp + 3 bell peppers + salad + fat free dressing

Totals: 1175 cals, 71g carbs, 16g fat, 191g protein

You ever try fat free cottage cheese + sugar free lime jello mix? I lived off that shit when I did Lyles RFL diet about 3 years ago. Its really good.

No, but that sounds delicious!

Started Wendler's 5/3/1 on Monday - pretty excited. I'm doing the Triumvirate assistance work.

Nice! That's a fantastic program. I love it, and I love that variation (Although, my favorite is still Boring But Big). Good luck!

See good results? Did you train 3 or 4 days a week? I'm doing 4 a week, I did Bench/Assistance Monday, Squat/Assistance tonight, Military/Assistance tomorrow, and Deadlift/Assistance Saturday. I'm following the more conservative programming (.65, .75, .85) on week 1 etc. I just couldn't bring myself to do the Boring But Big but it seems to be pretty popular.

My results were okay. I tend to respond better to a little more frequency, so it was a little low on the program. But, I did make progress.

I did 4 days a week.

The only reason I did Boring But Big was for time-saving purposes. I often had to lift and then get straight to a soccer game, so it's just easier to do BB Bench and then stay there for a while instead of jumping to something else a few times.

Yeah, I'm kind of worried about lack of frequency since I'm not advanced but I've heard good things and wanted to break the monotony, so I'll give it a chance.

Provided you start low enough and follow the spreadsheet (you're using a spreadsheet I hope), there's no way you won't progress.

For week one I just used a calculator lol. Wendler didn't have a spreadsheet set up in the e-book.

Use this one; it's amazing.

Nice!

[QUOTE=lead_block;9778760]Just take your time with it and remember its slow progress. Also don't leave out the conditioning. Hitting a hill 2x a week definitely counts as additional leg work.
I've been on it for the last ~8 months, using more of a bodybuilding assistance template.
