Bump for body scan results taken a year apart to the day. In the last 52 weeks, there were about 14 weeks of strict dieting. There was about 3 weeks after that that were a free for all in America. 14 weeks this year where I haven't been on a strict diet but I've been watching what I eat and making better choices. And 20 weeks where I was eating everything in sight to get bigger and stronger, but with zero regard for my waist.
The result is a massive net improvement, having gained close to 8kg of muscle (17.6lbs) while having lost over 7% body fat during the same time period.
This is with a sub par diet for half that duration too, so while I'm sitting here feeling pleasantly surprised with how far I've come, I also know I've got a lot of improvement left in me.
My athleticism is at an all time high right now as well, I'm finally making inroads into being the perfect blend of strength and speed. For reference, I'm attempting 48 inch box jumps for 3 reps next week after doing 42 inches comfortably this week. I've also go an nfl style combine held by my football club this week which I'm very excited for.
My goals for the next calendar year are to get to around 10-12% body fat (any leaner and it's detrimental for contact sport), with my lean muscle mass increasing along with my athleticism over that period.
How's everyone else been doing?
