October Is My Personal Fat Loss Month

Over the last few months I've been working to add some mass to my frame. So far this year, I've added about 15 pounds. Although it's mostly muscle, it is almost impossible to add mass without picking up some body fat. For that reason, I am going to focus on fat loss for the next four weeks. This means high-volume resistance training and clean eating.

I began this week at 197 pounds with a 20% body fat. Earlier this year, I weighed in at 182 and my body fat was 12.8% I'm interested to see what can be done in four weeks.

My workouts this week have been...
Sunday: legs
Giant Set... 5 sets of 15
  • Seated Leg Curls
  • Leg Extensions
  • Standing Calf Raises

5 minutes of interval cardio

Super Set... 5 sets of 15

  • Leg Press
