there will certainly be a post about this day on the boards soon, but wow, i am so excited...
today i had another bodyfat assessment done and i must say i am elated with the results. the last time i had a caliper test done was may 1. i was 32% bodyfat at 169 lbs. 3 months later, july 31, i am, drumroll please, 17% bodyfat at 178 (that's retaining a little water). i gained 9 lbs but dropped my bf% by 15%!! sadly i still have small love handles, but those will go away by september. and no fat burners were involved. i pretty much did steady lifting and minimal cardio. life is good. here's today's workout:
deadlifts:
6 x 145, 6 x 155, 5 x 185, 2 x 200, 2 x 205
hammer machine pulldowns:
10 x 121, 8 x 126, 6 x 131, 6 x 141
straight-arm pulldowns:
12 x 70, 10 x 90, 8 x 100, 8 x 100
good day overall. i was pumped about deadlifts. if my hands weren't too sweaty i could've pulled more reps at 200. the bar was slipping though, and by the time i got to 205 i was tired.
