Eric Cressey's Maximum Strength: Get Your Strongest Body in 16 Weeks with the Ultimate Weight-Training Program
Weekly Recap (October 5-12, 2008)
My Does Fruit Make You Fat experiment took another turn this week.
In the name of consistency, I decided to keep my diet exactly the same, even though this was my recovery week, with half the workout time of a normal week.
In retrospect, I obviously should have lowered my total daily calories to keep the overall ratio consistent, but there's still something to be said for the fact that I only gained about a pound.
My weight-lifting sessions went from 4 2-hour workouts to 4 1-hour workouts, since this was "Very Light" recovery week in "Maximum Strength."
Even with the 4-hour drop-off in physical activity and not lowering calories at all, I still didn't gain much, thanks, I believe, to the low-carb approach.
As I said, this experiment is always ongoing, and this week it will actually make sense to keep my calories the same, since I'll be starting Phase 3 of "Maximum Strength," and workouts should be back up around the 2-hour mark.
I actually feel and look leaner than the numbers say, but I'm confident the numbers will catch up with my growing ego at the end of this week.
I'm really enjoying taking an even more obsessed interest in my nutrition, because it keeps me entirely focused and will continue to produce great results.
That about raps it up for this week. See you next Sunday and don't forget you can follow my daily updates over at Geek2Freak.com.
