Getting the act together….
It’s been a long time since my last post. I spent a few months adrift. Unfocused. Then, finally, got my head together, did some serious reading & thinking about how to redesign my training, and got to work. Since then have put on 5 solid pounds, and a few pounds of blubber.
Time to trim off the blubber, so I’m going to do start a CKD this weekend and pull it back to 10%-12%. The goal at that point will be to add lean mass until spring of 2012 while keeping body fat in that range, then diet down for competition in October of 2012. Going for max growth while staying 12% or less is a new thing for me - but necessary, as my skin would probably not retract fast enough if I dieted more radically at the end of the process.
Some of the competitors I’ve seen in Ultra Masters are showing a fair amount of muscle, but their biggest problem seems to be an inability to get tight. I’m postulating that the skin just doesn’t have the elasticity necessary to keep up with a fast diet process. We’ll see if I’m right.
CKD is a counter-intuitive bastard of a dieting approach. I get the logic of it, but I’m going to have to prove to myself that it works. The articles on here have certainly helped….
