Slow progress last week…
Progress has been a little slow last week. So I’m a bit dissapointed with myself. Body fat stayed the same at 12.2% and most body parts are unchanged, in fact, arms dipped a little. Saturday I went out for a friends birthday and I was definitely having a fat day, and I thought that was just a chick thing!
I think a combination of 2 things:
1) Was a bit naughty on diet, missed a few meals and also cheated a couple of times.
2) Time to change up the workout, I’ve been training for power for 4 weeks.
So here’s what I’m going to do this week to try and squeeze out some improvement:
1) Change up the workout. I’ll increase my reps to 8-12, going for 70% 1RM.
2) Tighten up the diet, no cheats this week, and try and eat much cleaner.
3) Throw in some cardio (As hard as that may be in the middle of a wet and cold Melbourne winter!)
To reach my goal of 8% by the 22nd of July, I now need to drop 1.45% a week.. So I really need to be down to 10.7% by this time next week… Lets see how I go.
I think everyone has a plateau week every now and then, and that was mine, so I’m going to use that as inspiration to try and break through that!
