Todays results

Well the good news is I lost 2 lbs ! The bad news is it wasn't fat I don't think.
weight dropped 2 lbs. body fat stayed the same, some of the body measurements dropped. diet hasn't changed . The only difference this week was I know I didn't get as much water on wednesday as usual ( granny's funeral ) and my diet was off that day too.

Can one day being partially off make that much difference ? Should i chalk this week up to water loss and keep going another week as is ? Or do I need to make some adjustments. Also , my strength is still increasing. I make increases on some of the exercises every week.

weight 170
bodyfat % - 7.7 to 8 % according to accumeasure calipers
calories average around 2300 a little over
average breakdown is 45 % carbs, 40 % protein, 15 % fat
Trying to get the bf% down to bring out the abs. would prfer to do it without losing LBM which i have been able to do so far.

Any input aprreciated.

Gary

I would say that your weight is about the same then.. being a lil dehyrated.. as well know the scale can fluctuate due to hydration levels.
again, the same for the caliper testing. it can always be slightly off each time. so not to worry. sounds as though you are in a slight plateau. awesome that your strength is going up tho!
a slight suggestion would be to drop the carbs slightly back to 40% and up the fat to 20%... try that for a while and see how it goes. or we could make a slight adjustments to daily diet.

Last 2 reps on set #4 weren't the best form. Only one more workout to meet my goal of 200 lbs for set #4. Should make it but form probabbly will be as bad as todays. so will keep at the incline bench until I can do the 200 correctly then switch to flat bench press. Haven't done those in months !

I'm,

My first set is a warm up basically , the next 3 sets are my "working " sets and the 5th is just for added pump. I started out Nov, 2002 doing BFL and that was the way they set up the workouts and I like it and have not changed. Yet .

But as I get closer and closer to where I want to be I am looking ahead at changes in diet and exercise.

Hope I answered your question, If not let me know and I'll try again.

Gary

Hey Jill,
Thanks !
How was your Valentines day ? Great I hope.

My cheat day/V-Day was pretty good .

After my weigh/measure I walked into the dining room and thought I heard someone/something calling my name. I headed for the kitchen but the voice could not be heard. I turn around and headed towards the livingroom and the voice became more clear. Once in the livingroom I stopped, turned my ear to listen intently and determined where the voice was coming from.

Aha ! It was those evil special dark hershey's kisses !!!!!! I grabbed a handful and headed for the computer. feeding on chocolate and surfing the internet. What a way to start your day !

Anyway , took my valentine to the lake for the day . Lunch at J.B. Hooks was 8 oz chicken breast and some penne pasta with a tomato sauce. not much of a cheat huh ? Headed for the Outlet mall and during my travels there managed to have a (1) chocolate covered raisin cluster and a couple of pinches of my wife's fudge w/walnuts. Then this evening I had my weekly 1/2 of a small pizza and later a piece of cherry cobler w/scoop of ice cream. To tell you the truth I am glad thats over ! So much pressure on cheat day ! LOL

now , off to evaluate the results of my weigh/measure.

Ok , here's what i came up with today.

Since Jan. 4th

Weight - have lost 6 lbs ( from 175 to 169 )
Chest - gained .5 " 42 "
Biceps - no change 15.5"
Forearm - gained .25 " 13.5 "
Neck - lost .25" 15.75"
Waist - lost 1.5 " 32.5 "
Thigh - no change 24 "
Calf - no change 15"
Bf% - I have quit measuring this , i don't think the calipers are accurate/we are not using them correctly . according to them i am at 7.7% and I just don't beleive it. Please check my photo gallery and tell me if you think the bf measurement is accurate
my photo gallery

My size has not increased but my strength has.

Some observations from this week:

I think it was Wednesday, i was washing my hands at work and glanced up in the mirror and thought I saw some dirt smudged on my face, so i washed my cheek, dried it and looked in the mirror. It wasn't dirt, It was a shadow on my cheekbone. I have evidently lost enough fat that it is showing in my face.

today while shopping I tried on a shirt and while in the changing room and taking off my shirt I noticed that i could see a LOT of veins in my forearms and definition/separation. Hmmm . I'll try to get some pics of that in the next few days. If I shave my forearms I might freak out my co-workers though. They think I'm crazy already ! Getting close to 50 years old and shave my body ! Not to mention they think I'm crazy because I diet and workout ! I just laff at them and tell them "I want to die healthy ! "

Appreciate any feedback

Gary

Keep up the good work Gary, and being almost 50 you ought to be mighty proud of yourself! Consistency is the key, I think-and determination. You waist measurements are awesome!!!! WAY TO GO!

Im glad you enjoyed your cheat, I feel like a little piggy tonight. The chocolates, calling your name, that made me laugh like crazy. Back to being strict tomorrow, Im actually excited.
