7.9% bf

What the ???!!!

Ok. This is where it get’s crazy…

3/30/07 151.0 lbs 7.9% bf

Chest - 5
Thigh - 10
Abs - 10

6/15/07 (11 weeks later) 158.8 lbs 7.9% bf = +7.8 lbs of muscle

Chest - 4
Thigh - 10
Abs - 12

So, I’ve got a bit of fat on my abs that I need to lose to be the exact same, but my chest is lower and my thigh’s the same. So, I put on 7.8 lbs of muscle in 11 weeks. That means I put on close to 3 lbs of muscle a month!!! I have come to understand that that’s humanly impossible with out steroids… what the heck is going on here?

I wouldn’t lie. I’ve got nothing to gain from it. I’m very very very happy, but sooooooooooo confused! I mean I’ve been training for over a year now and have never seen muscle gains like this on myself yet! And, I wasn’t supplimenting with anything that’s said to help with muscle gains! Wll, my supps were:

Carbo Gain (1 scoop), Xtend (2 scoops), 4 scoops of whey, 3 fish oil pills, 2 multi vitamins, 2 glutamine pills… that’s it!

2 weeks ago I was 161.8 lbs and I don’t know my bf% w/ calipers from then but I’m guessing I was 10%. So, now at 158.8 lbs (-3 lbs) I’m 2% bf lower? Does that mean that I gained muscle while I lost fat over the last 2 weeks? Or was I just leaner than I thought at the start of my cut? I mention this b/c I’m wondering if the CLA possibly did what it claims to do - 1. Speed up the metabolism; 2. Increase lean mass; 3. Burn fat.

Anyway, the main thing that blows my mind is the muscle gain - 7.8 lbs in 11 weeks! It’s pretty much too good to be true.

Well any thoughts would be cool. And please don’t accuse me of lying or using anything illegal, b/c I’m not lying - I’ve got absolutely no reason to lie about something like this, and I will never use steroids unless they were said to not be unhealthy and they were legalized. No disrespect to any Christian bodybuilders who use steroids, but I believe it’s not pleasing to God to do things that are illegal, and it is a poor witness for Christ’s sake.

How’s this sound:

Right now I’m just taking CLA and coffee twice a day this will last 15 days (I’m already 4 days in). Then I plan on takin Dialene 4, which will last 20 days I believe. Then I figured I’d have 7 days of just coffee - maybe twice or 3x a day, and then I’d start Animal Cuts. After 6 days I’d start CLA again with the Cuts and coffee for 15 days. At that point I’d be going on vacation for 7 days, so the cut would stop for a week. I’d then decide if my cut would continue and if I’d want another fat burner or CLA again.

Whatta ya guys think of that plan?

Please reply if you have any advice and/or opinions/suggestions!

Thanks.
