figure competition prep. my daily journal

I had my body fat measured today.

21%. I had to Google it to see if it was normal.

I weighed in at 143 lbs.

Scarlet wants me at 18-19% before she feels comfortable having me just maintain and strictly build muscle.

Therefore, I’m still in the process of trying to lose a little more body fat.

So, for the next two weeks I’m going to eat 100 fewer calories per day and up my cardio by 45-60 minutes each week.

Hopefully these changes will be just enough.  Losing body fat while maintaining muscle is a tricky business!

My traps are ultra sore today! I’m thinking it’s from assisted pull-ups. I have yet to complete a hanging (non-assisted) pull-up. Baby steps.
