TT Eric LBM gain log 2014-15

Just booked a vacation for next week for 10 days! Also we are going to have our summer vacation a little sooner this year: in July instead of August. So if I start 2015's diet in March I should have exactly 20 weeks between vacations.

Quick post: I've started the diet last week, I will not start another thread again, I will instead continue in this one.

I do DP's diet like last year but with 120gr of carbs pre/intra workout instead of getting carbs from raw milk. HBCD on training days, carbs from rice on off days.

I have until July 10th, then it will be summer vacation. So 19 week ahead of me.

Week #1: I'm at 193.6lbs

I just came back from vacation and started the diet. So I lost 3.6lbs without dieting from last month, but I always loose weight in vacation...

Since I finished my diet at ~180lbs and was not satisfied last year (~170lbs when I came back from vacation). I will aim for 165-170lbs this year (I hope I will not finish at 155-160lbs after vacation, I would be a toothpick).

For me this year has been not good in terms of mass gaining, I've trained really hard, but didn't see real gain, except a little in my legs. My arms are ~1'' smaller then last year before I started my diet, so I'm really not happy with that. I was hopping to gain, not loose. I will not throw the towel yet, but it seems that my goal to go compete again as master is pretty much down the drain. Age and genetic + being natural I guess.

I took some pictures and will upload them when I have more time.

Week #2. I'm at 190.4lbs, I've lost 3.2lbs, I will continue with no changes. Still 3x20min of walking.

Eric

Week #3, I'm at 190.2lbs, I've lost 0.2lbs, but mirror seems to say otherwise, I will raise the cardio to 20min x7 and see from there what it does.

Eric

Week #4: 189.8lbs, I've lost a sh!tty 0.4lbs. I've hurt a knee, so I missed a 2 trainings and 2x20 min. walks. Dropping the carbs.

Eric

Week #5: 187.2lbs, I've lost 2.6lbs, it's good, but I have to consider it's the first week on keto, this is mostly water & glycogen, probably more then fat. I will increase cardio +10min. So 30min per day.

Eric

Week #6: 185.6lbs, lost 1.8lbs. I'm adding 20min per day of walk to keep this going. So 50min in the morning.

Wow \Eric, very well documented.

Thanks Paul.

Got my first re-feed meal yesterday.

Strength is still going down at bench. Last year I was able to do 10 reps with 225lbs, now 3-4 reps, it's insane.
