Update...... Week 13 (199lbs @ 4.9%)
I took the risk and I lost!!!! .....to make the story short I weighed my self on Saturday and my weight didn’t change at all. I ended up weighting 199 lbs..........in some ways my instinct told me not to try the new training HIT Training however I got really exited about the science behind the workout (Growth hormone release and other stuff) that I decided to give it a try.............The results I lost muscle again!!! (Under these circumstances it’s too hard on the body) ........However I have to say that I lost also a ton of fat (almost 2 lbs that is equivalent to almost 1% in Body-fat). I moved from 5.68% to 4.9% BF.
Also (If you can remember)....last Saturday I started to carb-up in hopes to
replenish my glycogen stores so I ate 206 grams of carbs during the day to try to increase my weight .....and the results ...the bascule didn’t move!!!!!!!!! Still 199 lbs!!!!! Then I thought that maybe I didn’t eat enough carbs so I kept carbing up until Sunday (1:00 pm) and the results ..............the bascule did not move again!!!!!!!! At this point I just stopped taking carbs and relaxed the rest of the day................
I have learned a lot in the last few weeks and based on my experiences I want to comment the following:
1.Try no to make drastic changes in your diet in order to speed up the fat burning process.
2.If you need to make a change....be prepared for the unexpected. Try to minimize the risks looking at all the variables that will play together (Calories Removes per day, per week, amount of carbs, proteins, fats etc)
3.You can use math to try to estimate how your body will behave however your body will always works things his way.......its like playing chess against and organism with thousands of years of evolution.
4.It seems that the leaner you get the better the body can handle carbs. I started eating carbs every 2 days and now I am eating them every other day with good result. (However that will depend on your body type) I am an Ectomorph.
5.Also try not to make drastic changes in your training while dieting. Save those techniques and training methods for your bulking cycle or to break through a plateau.
6.Don’t under estimate the power of HIT cardio and HIT training. They are very powerful tools.... so use them wisely.
7.While dieting you need to focus on stimulate your muscles not annihilate them!!!! You won’t be able to supply what the body needs to gets repaired. Instead just keep lifting heavy, feel the muscles working and let the cardio and your diet take care of the fat.
Ok guys that’s all for now..............check the attachment for last week details
Have a nice day
Francisco
jajaja well everybody leaves the capital city to go to the beach....like some kind of spring-break!!! So I won’t be posting for a few days......I am leaving tomorrow to the beach and I will be back Sunday. On the other hand I will have to improvise and find a place to train.....if I can do chin-ups, dips and push ups I will be fine for a few days..............Also I have to pack all my chicken, supplements, and the rest of the food for my diet!!!!!! It will be hard to see everybody partying for 4 days and still keep my diet 100%
!!!!!! But I can do it!!
