Cut Phase, February 21st – 27th 2015

Weight range: 137.2 – 139.2

Weekly low: 137.2

Did not see 136 or 135 for that matter this week. See entries below on troubleshooting my weight.

Measurements:

	chest	waist	hips	arm	thigh
Week 1	36.5	33	36	13.5	20
Week 8	34.5	30.5	33.75	12.5	19.5

My chest measurement doesn’t seem right but it is what it is. Maybe I had more fat on my upper body than I thought. 🙂

Workouts Schedule: Exercises are the same: Workout plan – Week 6 – Contest Prep 2015. Cardio on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday has changed from LISS to MISS and increased from 20 min to 30 min. On Friday, I added 1 interval of MIIT

Refeed – Saturday: Shoulders + 7 HIIT – REFEED
Med- Sunday: 30 min MISS, Legs and abs (quads/ hams/ calves)
Med – Monday: 30 min MISS, Back + biceps

Med – Thursday: High rep shoulder day and/or glut + ab exercises- high rep 12-20 + 7 HIIT

Workout for Thursday: Focuses on Glutes and Abs. No shoulders today as they are hurting. Not the good kind of muscles-have-been-worked-over kind of hurt, but my joints… 🙁 Must listen to my body!
