I wanted to see what I could achieve with 6 weeks of balls to the wall training and diet. I worked out 6 days a week on average, varying between circuit training, strength training, and cardio. I was very strict on my diet, following my dietitian to the LETTER on it. I began at 197# wearing socks, underoos, gym shorts, and a light T-shirt. I finished at 189#. My initial body fat % was 17. My ending, 12%. The same person did the caliper and tape measurements initially, and in the end. These are the numbers:
6/19/17 Body Weight:197 LBM: 163.51 Fat Mass: 33.49 Body Fat %:17 Bicep (relaxed at side):13.25 Shoulders (around): 49.5 Chest (relaxed, arms held away from sides like a lat-raise): 40.25 Waist (fattest part, not "tailor's):37.25 Hips:43.5 Quad (relaxed):23.75
7/31/17 Body Weight:189 LBM: 166.32 Fat Mass: 22.68 Body Fat %:12 Bicep (relaxed at side):13.25 Shoulders (around): 47.5 Chest (relaxed, arms held away from sides like a lat-raise): 38.5 Waist (fattest part, not "tailor's):35 Hips:41 Quad (relaxed): 23.75
I am pleased with a 5% body-fat drop and 2.2# lean body mass gain for 6 weeks! Apparently, this is what I can expect when I push myself.
