Comming to the end of the second building phase, only one more upper body day left. Just met with Tony to get measured and set up a game plan for the last three weeks of the building phase.
First the measurements, dropped a pound on the scale and 1.5%BF. That puts me @ 226.2lbs and 11.6%, that's down 11lbs fat and up 11lbs of muscle after 6 weeks. More pics to come...
Tony set me up with the basic break down of the next phase of workouts which is 5 day split one muscle group per day 20 sets per day. I will post the routine once I work it out.
Nutrition is also going to change. We're going back to the 3400 cal per day without staggered days. The ratios will change: 300g carbs, 120g fat, 300g ptn. We've decided to use the last part of the building phase to see how my body reacts to a higher fat intake, which will help in manipulating intakes for the cutting phase. I'm not overly conserned about body fat % right now, there's pleanty of time to cut. Additionally I have noticed a decrease in libido in the past few weeks so I am conserned that my testosterone levels may be down so the addition of the extra fat in the form of flax seed oil and mixed nuts will hopfully help boost the hormone production. In addition I have just started taking ZMA before bed, so we'll see how it all works out.
