Todd’s BodyBlog

I did it!  I broke the 200 lb barrier.  Not that I was aiming for a specific weight because anyone knows that if you really want to just "weigh" a number all you need to do is eat pizza and dessert and candy for weeks on end and you’ll get there   No, I wanted to follow a 12-week strength routine and add mass along the way, all the while keeping my bodyfat down as much as possible.  Based on my trending I saw that the 200 pound mark was possible so was excited to see that with 1 week left in my training plan I achieved that.

Staring March 1 I will be cutting back calories while continuing to hit the weights and adding lots of cardio.  Let’s see if I can achieve success in the other direction, getting down to 8% bodyfat.  As usual, diet will be the difficult part.  As hard as it has been to eat as much as I have it will be a different challenge to maintain a caloric deficit.  But I am up for it!
