I have 3 things I want to track. Weights, calories and Body Fat %. The point of all of this is to get stronger. I think I need to eat more to do that. But I don't want my body fat to increase while I'm doing that - all of my challenges and effort to this point have been getting that down. I'd like it to go down a little further, not back up! Ok, now for some starting stats: current (start last challenge/last measurement) Height: 5' 8.5" Weight: 126lbs BF% 18.3 (20.1). I get this using an Omron monitor. I record it every morning and average it across the week. That # is the average of last Monday to yesterday. Measurements(in). The last time I recorded these was May 27th. Chest: 35(32.25) Waist: 27.5(27.5) Hip: 37.125(37.5) Neck: 12.125(12.5) R.Bicep: 10(10) R.Thigh: 20.5(19.375) Current weight routine: 2 Day Dumbbell Push/Pull. I modified it - I wanted to lift heavier weight for 8 reps, not 12 reps like in the program. Current #'s: deadlift 40lb db x6; squats 35lb db x 6; benchpress 22.5lb db x 6; one-arm row 30 lb db x 8. I also have been stuck on 8lbx8 for side lateral raises for months. I hate them. Btw - when I record 40x6 for deadlift I mean a 40lb dumbbell in each hand. so total 80lbs. And stepups are reps on each leg (x8 each leg). I am going to be eating 2000 cal/day at least 5 days per week. Goal is 125g protein.
