milestone

So on Saturday I squatted bodyweight at 84KGs. This was the 10th Feb, 2012.

Tomorrow is Valentines day and I plan to squat above bodyweight for the first time.

I have not gone above 84KG in more than a week now and it seems my weight has plateaued. I need to eat more to actively encourage my body to grow.

I have also noticed that I am starting to struggle with the weight increments at this stage. Definitely a lack of nutrition is an issue at this stage.

body weight results

I got a new dexa scan done today. This measures your body composition. I also had one done on 4th Jan 2012. Here are the total results:

FAT - 15.78KG > 19.14KG (3.3 increase)
Muscle - 57.96KG > 61.64KG (3.67 increase)

Previously I was 21.4% body fat, now I am 23.7% bodyfat. Mildly concerning, but really the muscle gains are more impressive.

IF I could continue these results for another 8 weeks I'd be 68KG muscle and 25.74KG fat, and around 97KG total.
