I upped calories to 4000 on workout days. I was just getting to hungry to make good food choices, and laying about to much.

Good work so far man! Those goals you set are gonna get blown by pretty soon. 4000 cals seems a good amount but remember to keep your food choices clean. Also, I would recommend getting a couple (2-3) of conditioning sessions in there to keep you in shape. My suggestion would be HIll sprints or prowler/car pushing after your lifting sessions. THis schedule will give enough time to recover for your next session. Also, Don’t be afraid to start making smaller increments, especially for the upper body lifts (you will need 1.25lb plates) this will keep you from stalling and will ultimately yield better results. Lastly, enjoy. This is a great program that yields very quick gains if one has the discipline to stick to it. Best of luck.
