Goal- try to not lose my gains from summer
Chest- 35 lb presses three sets of 7
Shoulders- presses with 25 lb free weights, three sets of eight, military presses with 50 lb barbell, I was at 60 lbs
Bicep curls- 60 lb barbell, 25 lb curls, I was using 30 lb free weights
Triceps- 40 lb skull crushers and 60 lb close grip bench presses with the bar
Back- dead lifts at 115 lbs, 65 lb bent over rows
Cardio- sprints at 8 mph, steady at 6 mph
Elliptical level 7
Stepmill level 7
I've been doing HIIT inbetween sets of lifting instead of steady state
End result- 118 lbs to 125 lbs, lifting more than I ever have, but I don't love the weight gain.
Diet- net carbs under 100 grams, protein 120-180 grams, fat under 30% of calories, no bread, flour, pasta, cereal, added sugar, potatoes, starchy vegetables..
But, I don't know if low carb even works. I tried the biscotti and a cinnamon roll that I made for my husband and tried the cranberry sauce I made, and my weight went down even after eating more than I normally do. Who knows.
