____________ Age: 37 Height : 5'6" Weight: 157 lbs (9 Point Caliper Test taken standing all measurements taken: right side in a.m. today) Results: Body fat % : 16.3% Pounds body fat : 25.7 lbs. Lean body weight: 131.4 lbs. ____________ SKINFOLD TEST: Caliper Test - Digital Hand Held: _________________ pectorals 3 subscapular 8 bicep 2 tricep 7 suprailiac 7 midaxilla 7 abdominals 16 thigh 31 calf 14 --------------------------- Totals: = 95 _________________ MY GOAL: The same - To continue to reduce bodyfat until I reach 10% and retain LBM. WATER INTAKE: 3-5 Qrts Daily.

(Woohoo!) At least it moved lower... I need feedback, is this too little progress for 5 weeks? How often should I start to measure?

Thursday, March 27th, 2003 Body Weight: 162 Lbs. hmmmm...what's up with that? Why is it going up ..... I started using creatine before and after on workout days only-you think it is water retention. I do weigh-in on days when I take it. I wonder......... |

Creatine can add an average of 5-10 pounds of water weight.
![]() Not a supplement that I would use while cutting, I hate water retention. |

Creatine "holy ba-jezuz" are you serious?? I thought 2-3lbs. at most! I am not worried, next week will tell - plus DP is changing my ratios and calories (1768/day). I am getting more solid, I feel it
![]() Anyway! Hi Jodi! I was just going over your logs...I had a few questions on my workouts (what is "BB SLDL" on your post from 3/23). Where can I go to find out if I am overtraining or undertraining? Maybe go over my routines w/someone? Should I stop the creatine? It is a Creatine/Glutamine/Taurine blend...shoudl I just get plain glutamine then? My arms "reallY" get puuuumpped (up to "1" more) when I use it, kind of an addiction Are you showing any cuts yet?

Thanx for your support, i really apreciate it. I just am really draggin' my ass lately. Depressed...it'll blow over
I keep looking at my photo progression shots too- and I just wish that it would go a little faster. I just feel like I am doing this all for nothing sometimes....maybe I am predisposed to hold the fat in my arse and thighs! Thanx ![]() |

Thanx Jodi
![]() I have to re-start my whole deal here...I just talked to someone who is buff 16% and sent me link for the right way to measure. I realized I was no way 14% if she was buff at 16%! Apparently, I was right. After looking at links... I was informed I was measuring w/ calipers wrong the whole time in the wrong area specifically Suprailiac, Thigh and Tricep ![]() So, here are my new stats: Age: 37 Weight: 160 lbs 1. Pectoral 6 mm 2. Abdomen 19 mm 3. Thigh 36 mm 4. Subscapula 12 mm 5. Tricep 11 mm 6. Midaxillary 4 mm 7. Suprailiac 26 mm 8. Bicep 3 mm 9. Medial Calf 13 mm Estimated BF% is 21.9 % Estimated LBM is 124.9 lbs Estimated FAT is 35.1 lbs I hope I don't find I am wrong again later !!! I am so depressed now, drag. |
