Here’s how my weight and measurements fluctuated:
My weight this morning was 170.2 (down 0.1) from last week.
Waist measurement: 33 inches or 84 cm (up 0.5 inches and 1 cm)
Thigh measurement: 22 inches or 56 cm (down 0.5 inches and 1 cm)
Note: I think I might of been doing my waist measurements wrong previously and the measurement didn’t actually go up.
Thoughts/comments:
Another week in the books!
I finished the wild rose cleanse yesterday. I feel a lot better after finishing the cleanse. We as bodybuilders are constantly overloading our digestive systems and routinely getting colon hydrotherapy done and using cleanses is very important to keep everything running optimally. Digestive health is so important. Remember that it’s not just what you eat, it’s what you absorb.
My weight didn’t increase this week. It is partially due to using the cleanse (removing the build up in my intestines), but I also took a good re-evaluation at everything I am doing. I feel that my food intake is good, but I am burning too many calories throughout the day, especially during my workouts. I am going to slightly alter my current workout program and incorporate more lower rep ranges and longer rest periods. I am going to focus on increasing my squat, bench press, deadlift, bent over row, weighted pull up and over head should press over the next 6 weeks. I am going to continue training in a 3 on 1 off fashion. The first 3 days will be low rep range/power lifting focused and the next 3 days (after the rest day) will be hypertrophy/pump lifting focused. I am also going to slightly alter my cardio workouts. I am going to add in some high intensity interval training. I am going to first warm up on the stepmill for 15 minutes at 70 steps per minute and then do 10 intervals on the stepmill alliterating 1 minute at 70 steps per minute and 1 minute at 100 steps per minute. The complete program will look like this:
1. Legs power
2. Chest, shoulder, triceps power
3. Back, biceps power
4. Off day (15 minutes steady state cardio, 10 cardio intervals and abs)
5. Legs hypertrophy
6. Chest, shoulder, triceps hypertrophy
7. Back, biceps hypertrophy
8. Off day (15 minutes steady state cardio, 10 cardio intervals and abs)
Comparing the photos from this morning to last week, there is a noticeable improvement despite no weight gain. I suspect that my weight will increase next week. Besides the small tweaks I feel that things are going well and I am on the right track.
