Nahuel’s BodyBlog

Long time since the last post. In the meanwhile, I stopped working out for about 3 months, dropped about 12 pounds and lost quite a bit of strength. Now I’m again at my maximum weigth and also maxing in most lifts. Since I reached my goal of getting back to 154lbs of bodyweight (one week in advance!) it’s time to set up new goals. I know that it will be a bit harder from here, so I will be very happy if I can keep gaining about 1lb per week for the next 6 weeks. That should put me at 160 pounds by September 21st. I will keep my BF% below 14% (currently 13%), so when the time comes to cut I will have an easier job. Anyway, no cut intended until I’m at least 164 lbs. I will shoot some progress pics when I get to 156 in a couple of weeks (that is, 5 pounds more than my last progress pic).

Looking at the charts on my workout tracker, it seems that I started to plateau on the volume of my workouts. Still should have some margin, but in a couple of weeks I will probably need to drop poundage and start a new intensity cycle. I’m curious to see how it will affect my gains (hopefully not too much, right?). By then, I will start supplementation with creatine for the first time in my life, in the hope that it will compensate for the lower intensity of the workouts.
