Like Bytsi, I don't have all my normal detailed stats to post (just ran out of time to get them all gathered) but I wanted to go ahead and get posted.
Plans:
- 90% compliant with Precision Nutrition - Had some off days (some of them VERY OFF
!) but I was much better at managing my food amounts and cheat days during the challenge. WSFL and Leigh's video made me a believer in measuring and tracking ALL foods.
- Complete weeks 13-16 of Afterburn (I have been using Afterburn since May, currently in weeks 9-12, and will start week 13 on 8/10) - DONE
- Then NROL Fat Loss Programs - Did WSFL instead
- All HIIT will be running on my treadmill (at least 3 days per week) - For the most part, good here. During WSFL ran 6 days a week.
Goals:
- Get below 20% body fat (I am considering the AccuMeasure results the real benchmark). My real level of satisfaction will come when I whittle away the saddlebags and the fat on my lower abs. - Got down to 19.2% (last reading)
- Be able to complete 5 chin-ups in a set (I can do 2 now) - I can now do this.....yea!!!
- Be able to squat and deadlift my body weight - Almost got here on my deadlift
- Improve mobility and flexibility (using Cressey and Robertson's "Magnificent Mobility") - I am not where I need to be but I have definitely improved

Overall, I am pleased with my progress during the Challenge and I DEFINITELY look forward to the next Challenge in January. I plan to continue Power Training Strength workouts up until my December vacation, will go on another round of WSFL in January, and then will pick back up with a strength based program after that.
