Well, if you are cutting and indeed are losing BF, than who cares. I would say that is awesome.

I actually do the same split as you, different exercises and not 5x5, but same split. I love it.

Good job!!

Yes...good job.
What do you make your PBJ sandwich with? I.E....What kind of bread, peanut butter and jelly do you use?? I love PBJ but have pretty much stopped eating them while trying to lose a little BF. But if you're dropping BF eating them I'd like to know what you are using.

i make my pbj with rye bread and a low fat peanut butter.. but im losing bodyfat so iguess its the training thats making me big but i guess i cant complain

PB on Rye sounds nasty but I'm going to try it. Rye has a good glycemic # so that might explain why your not gaining fat. PB is a pretty source of protein....and then there is the jelly...pure sugar unless you use something like Polaner (sp?) All Fruit...but I like the shit smuckers grape jelly.

Thanks for the response.

you gotta try the natural peanut butter....a lot healthier and much tastier mmm, mmm, mmm.
