Not posted anything in here since March. I've been busy. Not busy working but busy exercising. I haven't been concentrating on losing weight because all my attention has been on fitness. I have been following the 5x5 Stronglifts fitness program. That involves weight training three times a week to increase strength. Tomorrow marks weeks 15 following the program.
In late February:
100 lb squat
88 lb deadlift
88 lb bench press
50 lb overhead press
88 lb Pendaly row
132 lb lat pulldown
110 lb Fly
Beginning of June:
220 lb squat
240 lb deadlift
121 lb bench press
88 lb overhead press
154 lb Pendaly row
210 lb lat pulldown
154 lb Fly
During this program, I have gained 2kg of body weight but I'm fine with that given the increase in strength. I wasn't trying to lose weight, rather just hold my weight steady while gaining strength. I measured my body fat content and I'm currently at 31% body fat by mass, which would mean my lean body mass is 74.5kg.
Before my summer holiday to Europe in mid-August, I want to get down to under 100 kg total body weight and under 22.5% body fat. To that, I'm going to have to count the calories very carefully. Not too many, but the difficult thing is also not too few.
