Day 41

I hate having to get up extremely early because I’ve got a 9am meeting! Sucks royally. And given that it’s now approaching winter, the darkness outside really doesn’t help!

Have to admit though, that once in the gym, I quickly got into flow and things went well. Again, new routine, some tough elements, pushed reasonably hard… and got through it all, which was pretty awesome :)

So altogether, things are going great! Had a peak at my arms while doing my bicep curls, and starting to get more definition on those arms now ;) Very nice :)

On a tangent… I wanted to calculate my ‘target weights’ if I want 15 or 12% bodyday:

  • 15% bodyfat = 165lbs
  • 12% bodyfat = 160lbs

These numbers are based on the fact that I lose no more muscle! Personally I don’t want to see myself less than 160lbs. 170lbs was my original goal, and I’m dipping beneath that to achieve this! So – I’m going to have to see how things go. My ideal – as documented many times – is in the region of 170-180lbs. That’ll be my goal in the bulking phase… I don’t want to be extremely slim… it’s just not me. I enjoy being a slightly bigger guy. We’ll see where I end up though – it’s important – as discussed – to let my body guide me on this journey. Fingers crossed.

Oh – and the other thing to mention… I’m considering going back on the Animal Cuts for a week the week after next. That all depends on my results from this week. To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised (but entirely depressed), if I lose little or actually put on weight this week – primarily due to the loss of water from last week… I’ll’ve put on water this week, which’ll play around with my overall weight. We’ll see – hopefully the bodyfat will be able to distinguish between water and fat! But that may be hoping for too much!
