Today I did 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer. I kept my heart rate betwen 80% and 90% of max. It was an intense 30 minutes for sure.

*Something is wrong with the scale (my belief) because there is no way in hell that I gained 7 pounds and didn't increase my fat percentage. It just isn't possible to gain 5.66 pounds of muscle in one week. I will just log this weight and fully expect it to change dramatically next week. I wonder sometimes if I were to measure myself daily how drastic the fluctuations would be because I believe I retain water on certain days.
The encouraging part for me is that both my arms grew in size by 0.25″ this week and my chest went up 0.25″ as well. I believe I'm really starting to see the benefits of the Optimal Anabolics program. I'm excited about that aspect of this week's numbers!
