I’m going to get my wife to do another body fat check and see where things are at as well. I know the number with the skin fold calipers will be much lower than actual body fat but it will be good to compare to last log
So weight actually dropped a bit between this week and last week but I feel like last week we saw a bit of a larger bump . Weight is up about 2.5 pounds over the last 4 weeks, I think that’s a pretty good rate of weight gain so far . We still have a couple weeks left of this log to go and the...
For the Carb up, the prescription is 7-8 grams of CHO per pounds of lean body mass .I decided to calculate this out at 8 percent body fat . 185x.08= 14.8
185-14.8= 170.2
CHO at middle road 7.5 grams

I like the bike but I find I push myself harder when running hills. I went back to hills this afternoon before the carb load . Did 15 sprints up and a slow jog back down , then right back into the sprint . The workout didn’t take long but man did it leave me feeling gassed
My weight was back down to 184.5 today . I think I depleted all the glycogen on Mondays workout but if it wasn’t depleted Monday it was definitely depleted today . Those are crazy weight fluctuations . 192>>>184

Weight seems to be going up at a good rate . It really spiked this week after the carb load . I am weighing around 192 today from last Thursday’s weight of I think 184. So I’m guessing 184-5ish is my weight depleted of glycogen and 192 is my weight when I am filled out . I think I’m getting the...
