Knightsaun Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi Everyone,I think I finally hit that magic place when I finally realize that the past couple months has paid off.Hit the gym this morning just like normal, but I was able to add 5-15 lbs to all of my exercises except chin-ups and lat pulls.I started out at 225 (my scales were off and I thought I started at 222) according to the gym's balance scales and am now down to 201.9. I have been watching it closely and over the past 5 days, my weight loss has been in only increments of 1/10ths. Two days ago I was 202.1.I believe I am finally to the point where my muscle growth is overtaking my fat loss. I still notice all of my pants waists are getting too big and my stomach is shrinking, but the weight isn't just stripping off anymore. I AM HAPPY! I guess this means that I am going to be a 5' 7" 200 pounder at 39 years old. I still have another 8% I want to lose; but I started at roughly 25%...maybe higher...and just from looking at the charts I would guess I'm 20%. My reps are getting noticeably more powerful, I am getting much more limber (I couldn't bend but about halfway over in the morning and now I can roll out of bed and touch my toes). My circuits are getting much faster and I'm able to add a few more more routines into it now. I sleep well (for the first time in my entire life). Paleo and exercise has completely cured my HBP and my energy deficiency. My goal is no longer weight loss. I have changed my goal to wearing something less than a 34 waist and 10 chin-ups (I'm a snug 34 now...from 38). I have a ways to go because most of my body fat remaining is in my belly area.Maybe someone can tell me if I'm correct about the weight loss vs. muscle gain issue I mentioned above...I sure hope that is what is happening.Just some 411 on how I am working out.... I am circuit training with enough weight that I can do a max of 8-10 reps of any given work out at a time. Once I can do more than ten I bump up the weight a minimum of 5 lbs up to 15 lbs. I do a fat burn warm-up (oscillator @ 75% ability) for 5 minutes, stretch out/warmup, 3 circuits, fat-burn cool down (same as warm-up), stretch out again.Have a great day. Quote Link to comment
