Welcome back carbs!
2008 was about developing diet discipline and shedding bodyfat. I went from 24% to 10.5% and was considering pushing to 8% before starting a mass program. However, I feel that I could benefit from changing things up so I am starting a lean mass program for 2009. This won’t be a drastic change from what I am doing now. I’m adding more low GI carbs to my meals earlier in the day and will take in some high GI carbs post workout with my protein. I’ll slowly raise my carbs and monitor how my body responds. If my bf% spikes then I will adjust to keep myself in the 10-11% range. My initial thoughts are to do this for about 10 weeks (and hopefully add up to 10lbs of lean muscle) and then jump back into a BF% reduction plan to gear up for summer and a Hawaii trip in June. Time to grow!
