I re-read the Greyskull and fat loss notes and I don’t know how I got to the program I was doing. I forgot to switch OHP and Bench on week 2 and my chin up volume was far too high. I’ve stripped it right down to the main lifts with a burpee protocol and ab work. On ‘rest’ days i’ll do 30 mins fasted walking and 10 mins conditioning in the afternoon.
I took a few days off as some of my gym work feels laboured and it’s clear my body isn’t recovering enough. My repeated attempt at max. BW exercises in 3 minutes was shocking. Particularly surprised that I couldn’t surpass my push ups by more than 3, given I did so many with the frequency method. It could be i’m still not fresh and another 48-72 hours would produce better results but I don’t care enough about it.
This week has been P140 C155 F85 Cals 1950. I think I can sit at that for another week and see what happens. I’m also cutting carbs pre- and during my workout but the load is coming down so I should be fine.
I haven’t got a picture to hand but I look almost identical to four weeks ago, which makes sense since i’ve been building the abs up without stripping any fat that covers them. I’m almost certain I need to extend this 6 week attempt to a full two months otherwise results are going to be barely visible.
My total weight has come down by around 1kg since I started, hard to say how much that is water weight but given I started at 260g/day carbs and i’m now down to 150g/day i’d say a decent amount.
