End of Phase Two


Phase two, like most of the phases in this workout, is only 4 weeks long. This time I had a week of travel, and that caused lifting to be put on hold for a week. So, it was a little discouraging to not see such a huge change in the pic. I made 13 of 16 lifting days, and 23 of 24 running days. By the end of this phase I was 185 lb. and 17.4% body fat.

Also, during this phase I read an article on Men’s Heath about diet, and am following the guidelines it laid out. What I do is multiple my weight by 11 and that is the total number of calories I have in a day. I then eat one gram of protein per lb of body weight. Of the remaining calories I can have up to 30% be fat and whatever is not used up by protein and fat can be carbs. I tend to never really get that much fat and eat more carbs.
