Mission 2, Day 22: Stats are in

February 25, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

The stats for the week are in.  Despite getting decent results, I'm going to experiment with the Vince DelMonte method of cutting.  Here are the results for the week:

While I agree with the concept of bringing your calories up to your maintenance level gradually to repair your metabolism, I am hearing Tom Venuto's response to me as I see these results.  I've lost LBM 3 weeks in a row and that means I'm not losing fat fast enough.  Thus, I am going to make a decisive and immediate change.  Effective this week, I have my calorie target on my accountability log.  The plan is:

I will begin with a carb rotation cycle of 3 days low, 1 day high.  The low days will be 2250 calories.  The high days will be 2700 calories.  I will begin with a ratio of 45/35/20.  I will reduce the carbs each week as follows:

        

C % P % F %
0.45 0.35 0.2
0.4 0.4 0.2
0.35 0.4 0.25
0.3 0.45 0.25
0.25 0.45 0.3
0.2 0.5 0.3
0.2 0.5 0.3
0.15 0.55 0.3
0.1 0.6 0.3
0.1 0.6 0.3
0.1 0.6 0.3
0.1 0.6 0.3

As I hit the lower carb percentage of 10% it will be very much like Metabolic Surge.  Carbs will be around 50 grams each day at that point.  The objective is to incinerate as much fat as I can as fast as I can.  This is a routine used by Fitness Competitors as they cut down for a fitness contest.  At the same time, I will be training as hard and heavy as ever.
