Weekly Recap (April 27 - May 4, 2008)
Another week of excellent results!
I had originally planned to try out the carbo-loading from last week, but only before 5PM. Then, I took another look at my numbers and was faced with the all-too-common ectomorph conundrum: build muscle vs. get ripped.
I'm still trying to find the magic formula for my body to do both at the same time, but at only 185, I decided I would like to put on a few more pounds of muscle before really cutting away.
So, I loaded up on carbs via fruits (no bad carbs!) and managed to pack on another 3 pounds and increase all my "good" measurements, while keeping my waist exactly the same — not bad!
I've been playing basketball on cardio days (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) now that the weather is nice, and I was a little worried that all the "real world" running would make me drop a few pounds, but so far so good, because I keep the bball workouts intense but only 20-30 minutes.
Whenever a rain cloud decides to coincide with one of my cardio days, then of course I've still got the bike here and will continue with my HIIT workouts as a substitute.
The tweak I'm going to try this week is to eat carbs (fruits) with every meal every day, but only before 5PM. I've been cutting carbs way back on non-lifting days, but with the added intensity of basketball on cardio days, the extra carbs will come in handy, and keeping them before 5PM every day will ensure that the majority go straight to my muscles and aren't stored as fat during my less active hours later in the day.
That about raps it up for this week. See you next Sunday and don't forget you can follow my daily updates over at the forums in this thread: Personal Daily Workout Log.
