Update:
Weight: 98.6kg / 217.41lbs
Last week was pretty solid in terms of diet and training. I am still finding it hard to hit calorie goals in the 2K range so I guess for now I will be in the 1500-2000K range pretty steadily. Its not a good thing but then not a bad thing. My cheat meal was Saturday and did include about 80g of carbs and a lot of deliciousness. The rate of weight of rate loss is much faster than expected and that is probably not such a good thing as a wall is inevitable. This is the main reason I have been keeping my cardio limited to 20min post weight training most days. Just so I have some place to go as things slow down.
In the gym, my endurance has been really good. Really really good actually. Strength is holding. I wish I had something in my system for a little extra kick but until my wife has a bun in the oven that's a no go. Anyway, dieting down "natural" is not a bad way to go either. Aside from my pre-workout and "fat burner" supplements.
I have changed my weight training program up, as I have been doing Push/Pull/Legs for a long time and a change is always nice. PPL is my favorite split though by far.
Yesterdays gym session:
Barbell Bench - Medium Grip: 2 warm up sets followed by 4 sets of 8-10. If I can hit 11, I add weight, but I doubt ill be adding any weight during this time, god knows Ill try though.
Incline DB Press - 3 X 8-10
Decline DB Press - 3 X 10-12
Dips - 4 X Failure (body weight) with a gymnast tuck and the top of each.
Close Grip Bench - 4 X 8-10
DC Style Cable Chest Stretch 60-120 seconds
DC Style Dumbbell Overhead Triceps Stretch 60 seconds
I always use maximum control and squeeze on each rep to the best of my ability.
20min 10 incline/5 speed treadmill. I was dripping buckets for some reason.
I will probably update with photos at the end of this week to see if you guys notice any physical change.
Here is the diet break down from Sunday, post cheat meal day: (foods included round steak, shrimp, scallops, chicken breast, red and yellow peppers, asparagus, mushrooms, avocado, natty peanut butter)
