Day 1191
Today is the start of the one-week rest period at the end of my current program, which is the Huge in a Hurry “Get Big” program. I measured my weight this morning and got the following:
| Date | Body Mass (kg) | Body Fat % | Fat Mass (kg) | Lean Mass | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Start of Mission 5 | 2010-08-07 | 73.8 | 14.3 | 10.5 | 63.3 |
| End of Mission 5 | 2011-04-09 | 67.0 | 8.4 | 5.6 | 61.4 |
| End of Mission 6 | 2011-10-17 | 71.3 | 11.6 | 8.3 | 63.0 |
So it looks like I gained back most of the lean mass I had before I started my last leaning phase, but I also gained more than half of the fat back! I have to review what I did during this last program and determine what I need to adjust in order to gain muscle without gaining too much fat back. I checked with the guru of fat loss himself, Tom Venuto, on building muscle without gaining fat. I admit that I didn’t count calories during this phase and tried to play it by ear. I think I may have gotten too aggressive with eating, so it’s either I try to cut back a little bit next time I go on a mass-building phase, or add some cardio to burn off the excess.
This rest period should allow me to plan my next attack!
