Week 6 Results

I’ll dive straight in – I lost another 0.5lbs this week? WTF? How on Earth is that even physically possible? I’m eating 3,500-4,000cals a day???

This leads me – unfortunately – to think that I’m overtraining. That I should focus more on fewer reps in the sets (lets say 5×5-8) and higher weights. And the compound exercises that I’ve mentioned quite a few times already.

This isn’t something directly related to my current routine tho. I lost weight last week too… in fact there’s only been one week where I’ve realistically put on substantial weight – I think that was my forth week.

Maybe this is my body getting to a homeostatic balance? There’s still fat so it needs to burn it off? I don’t know. What I do know is that I’m still putting muscle mass on – I can see & feel the changes. Even from the results last week, I know that there are incredible gains.

Thinking out loud – I started taking creatine 2-3 days ago… maybe that’s been soaking up some of the water in my system, and that’s contributing to the weight loss? Potentially? Anyone got any ideas?

All I know is that the experience is still going strong, and I’m loving it. Weight hasn’t been a priority goal recently – more about health and size than that ideal 200-210lbs weight goal. So all’s good ;)
