- Weight - 14st 5lb (up 2lb from last week)
- Body Fat % - 7.5% (digi-callipers - up 1.1% from last week)
- Waist - 34.25 inches (up 0.25 inches from last week)
Although this post is a little late the pictures and measurements are all from the weekend. I'll be honest I'm very disappointed. The expected rise in weight that I thought would happen last week has actually surfaced this week. Most worryingly the body fat % has shot up by more than a whole percentage point with a corresponding rise in the waist measurement as well. I know last week was disrupted by a couple of days away due to work but I'm struggling to see where I've veered off to this degree. I also realise that the type of training that I'm doing is encouraging mass and strength but this gain appears to be an increase in fat not muscle. I cycled to work 3 days last week and even played 80mins of rugby on Saturday for the first time in a very long time (body still aching and recovering now). I also think the weight gain etc is noticable within the photos, which is another kick in the teeth.
Strangely enough the gym sessions have been going really well. I'm putting in lots of effort and trying to nudge the weights up each time. I've completed 6 of the 16 sessions so at 2 per week that's another 5 more weeks to go before I change the workouts. If my composition continues in this direction I'll have to revert back to the Fat Loss sessions once the Strength II workouts are complete. I'll keep track of things and see how it goes.
Again this week I have a scheduled meeting out of the office so my training plan is disrupted this week as well. I suppose all I can do is press on as planned whilst keeping an eye out for things that would / are being disrupted. One factor may well be sleep. I've let this aspect slip of late so haven't been getting the required rest. I mean I have noticed that I've been more tired than I usually am. Perhaps it's all catching up to me. Anyway, I'll keep you updated the best I can.
Cheers, BustaGut!
