I read about the 8x8 workout from M&F 2 months ago, less than 30 seconds rest between sets and that the intensity is several times a normal workout. So far I LOVE IT!
I hit 221.5 this morning and ate my normal steak omelete with 1/2 cup oatmeal and by the time I got to work I was starving again! My metabolism is really ramping up, the fact that I lost weight during a 100% and 60% carb day is AMAZING! Going to drink some whey protein now to stave off this hunger. I feel so so awesome, my biceps are sore from a workout for the first time in MONTHS, the chest/bicep scenario is great. Today is abs & cardio.

Forgot to mention I did 10 minutes cardio morning & evening yesterday and started off same today.
Breakfast 7 egg whites, 1 egg, 5.4 oz flank steak and 1/2 cup oatmeal
Morning snack: 1 cup no fat cottage cheese, 50g whey protein
Pre-workout 50g whey protein
Lunch Abs:
10x4 each side decline russian twists
10x10 each side standing cable twists 20lbs
10x10 each side cable oblique crunches 60lbs
10x10 hanging leg raises
10x10 decline crunches
Post-workout 50g whey protein, medium apple
