Alex's Journey

Remember I took last week off for christmas and indulged a little bit so this progress update will be for 12 days not 7 days not 14 days because I’m updating on saturday instead of the usual day monday.

2 Weeks ago:

Today:

Weighed in at 152 lbs today. I was 156lbs 12 days ago and 155.5 on monday. So on my week off I lost .5 a pound and this week I’ve lost 3.5lbs A little much again and I’m sure this is a contributing reason to a low 1RM on my BP today.

I’ve bought a very detailed book on periodized strength and endurance programs so expect me to be adding things and tweaking things alot in he near future when it comes.

This week I’m going to be doing 5 sets for 7 reps at %70 of my 1 Rep Max of Squat, Deadlifts, and Bench Press although I will be aiming for a weight and that rep/set range on my isolation exercises as well even though I have not calculated a 1 rep max.

I’m going to be cycling calories this week as well to see how it works, I’ll remain at 1800 calories all week becuase I seem to be still losing weight at this level however slowly it is. This is how my calorie intake will look like for the week:

Monday 1800cal
Tuesday 1500cal
Wednesday 2200cal
Thursday 1800 cal
Friday 1700 cal
Saturday 2000 cal
Sunday 1600 cal

 Also I’ll be adding 100mg a day of caffeine 2 or 3 days this week just for a boost at work.
