Intermittent Fasting Workout week 3 - 4


Here are my last three workout logs.
In the first workout I was trying to find out what weight to use as the max weight for
15 rep squats and over head presses.

In general I'm doing a 2 week 15 rep phase.
as part of a longer term plan to split 6-8 weeks of training into 15,10,5, and 3 rep
phases.

I'm slowly adjusting to doing 15 reps. It feels like there is a huge jump
between doing 10 reps vs doing 15 reps.

Trying out Intermittent Fasting


So I had been doing some reading about Intermittent Fasting as described on the  the leangains (http://www.leangains.com)  blog. I decided to give it a try to get my bodyfat back down from %16 to %12 as my first goal. I started by doing the 16 hour fast with an 8 hour feeding window.

In my first few workouts the thing that I noticed was that I could lift the same amount of weight, but I did not have the energy to do as many reps at that same weight.

In about a week and a half I lost about 1.2% of my bodyfat. However, I seem to be able to gain that back in a day or so of eating too many calories. I'm continuing to tweak my diet to try to get enough protein on workout days, and not over eat on non workout days.
