Bodyfat Blues!
Had my bodyfat tested by a friend who’s a personal trainer yesterday, and came in higher than I expected: 22.3%. That’s a pisser! I was thinking maybe around 19-20% max. But it’s incentive to take another look at what I’m eating and work on those ratios (am I eating enough? Gotta figure that out too). We actually filmed the bodyfat test - kinda of a running video blog of the whole bodybuilding journey here. Just gotta get up some nerve to post it!
I’m in the middle of a Recovery Week after 3 months of getting back into exercise. I’m pretty happy with what I’ve accomplished so far: over 2 inches off the waist, and it looks like some muscle and strength gains as well. My overall weight has stayed pretty close to 155.
Taking time this week to plan out my strategy for the next 3 months: more attention to my food intake - especially nutrient ratios, going a little heavier in the workouts, and upping cardio to 5-6 days consistently. Might add in one or two additional supplements - EFA pills for sure, and *might* experiment with some creatine, but that all depends on how fat the wallet is. These days it’s been leaning out faster than I am!
