Ok first off my intent on this cycle was to cut, i weighed 210lbs before i started this cycle and i'm 6'1" and about 17-18% bf, my cals were down to 1800 (i know way below maintence but i wanted to try it)and protein stayed at 220g per day, and carbs were low and non after 5pm, and fat was very low. my meals were mainly 3-4 cans of tuna a day w/ 3-4 protein shakes, and 2 chicken breasts in there.
day's 1-5
started at 210lbs and went down to about 208
day 6
went down to 207lbs
day 7-14
get this, 207-214 ?!!? wtf happend there?
diet never changed, stayed the same except on thanks giving which all i ate was turkey, and 2 rolls, and 1 serving of stuffing that's it. then directly after that day i went back on my 1800 cal diet. for some wild reason i gained weight instead of lost it after day 7. i don't look any fatter, infact i got complements from family and friends and kids from my high school i haven't seen in a month, that i look skinnier and more muscular then i did last time they saw me. I've never told them i started working out either. so i'd like some opinions on this?are these 7 lbs lean muscle? because it looks and feels like it? or can m1t retain water?
On lifts though everything went up since day 3 and on, everytime i went to the gym i got 10lbs more on each lift, if not 15lbs' and 1-2 extra reps. so i'll see what happens on my 2 weeks off m1t to see if i keep the 214lbs. and new found strength.
