BF%: 16%
Lean Body Weight: 201.6

Since last week, I’m up almost 8 lbs. and gained ½” on the waist, but also put on 3.7 lbs of lean body weight.

I’ve kicked up the protein intake to around 180g/day, but I know where the increased fat is coming from: my eating right after work and then before bed. I just get convinced that I’m hungry and start pounding away at the peanut butter and any leftover meat, or milk that’s around.

I was tracking everything for about a week on Daily Plate, going to go back to that starting this week. It really helps me figure out what I’m doing, and as a chronic overeater, I tend to grossly underestimate my calories and overall food intake.

Based on what I’ve been doing in the gym from a strength gaining perspective this last week, I’m really not that upset about these results. Not happy, either, but it’s in line with what I want to be doing, just need to adjust so’s not to bust out the old fat rolls again.

SWOD:

5x3 Power Cleans @ 50kg/110lbs.

I did these about a week ago, felt like I could do more weight. Just started reading Starting Strength, heretofore to be referred to as SS2ed. or some other such nonsense, and realized how little I know about the clean. I need to video myself doing this, as well…done it with deadlifts and some air squats, but need to keep at it with this, despite the odd looks I may get for doing so. Without a coach, I’ll never know how I’m doing with it otherwise. Pretty sure I’m getting an arch in my back, since I’m still horribly inflexible.

DWOD:

12 x 110 yard sprints, one every minute for 12 minutes

Did 6 x 100m, heartrate at the new start point was around 173, and I knew I was gassed. Doing more would just have been stupid. Someday I’ll crank these at 12.
