Eric Cressey's Maximum Strength: Get Your Strongest Body in 16 Weeks with the Ultimate Weight-Training Program
Weekly Recap (August 31 – September 7, 2008)
Back on track! My theory about last week's subpar results seems to have been correct.
I was spreading my carbs out, so that they were included long after my workouts.
Now, I compacted them, so the vast majority of carbs come during and immediately after exercise, when my body and muscles need them the most.
I increased in all the good areas and decreased body fat percentage, though I did add a little to my waist.
I'm not too disappointed in that, since I also packed on a full 2 pounds. It's when I lose weight and increase my waistline that it's a real problem!
Also, the fact that I went from two hour-long speed camp sessions down to zero this week accounts for the slight addition there.
My only cardio for the entire week was 4 100-yard sprints, so I'm confident once I get back on schedule this week with HIIT that the waist will start coming back toward the 32" line.
I love when I can see exactly what's happening and why it's happening, because it makes things so easy to correct with a little adjustment here or there.
All of my tracking and calculating may seem way too OCD, but it works perfectly, and it becomes faster and more efficient all the time.
Last week's "Very High Load" week in "Maximum Strength" was challenging, but fun, and I'm looking forward to this week's "Light Load" week.
The program is set up to allow for a bit of active recovery at the end of each phase, before ramping it up again in the subsequent phase.
Time flies when you're having fun, and I can't believe I've already completed 3 weeks of the 16 week program.
Phase 2 is just around the corner with all new exercises, and the change keeps things interesting, making it easy to stay motivated.
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.
