Day 21:

Yesterday's calories:
1658 cals in (32% carb 25% fat 43% protein)
2744 cals out
39%  deficit

Today marks the last day of my 10x10 cycle, moving to a faster-paced and intense circuit-style training for the next 2 weeks to prepare for the "big build" portion of my plan. We'll see how it unfolds.

Test workout:

A1: Squat 3x8
A2: Pushup 3x15
B1: RDL 3x10
B2: DB shoulder press 3x12
C1: DB step-up 3x12
C2: Rear-delt raise 3x10
One minute rest between supersets.

Ab circuit (10 minutes)
Short HIIT circuit on bike (30sec high, 60 sec low, repeated 5X)

Thoughts: Definitely a completely different feel than the 10x10's. Shorter too, by about 15 minutes. Undershot my poundages on the squats and RDL's, so probably around 40-50% more weight when I start them for "real" next week. Depending on tomorrow's numbers, I think I'll be bumping the carbs up to closer to 150-200 on regular days and dropping the fat down to no more than 15-20%.
I know I've lost some more fat this week and I feel lighter and tighter, but unless I dropped over 3 lbs of fat this week, I need to step it up a bit if I want to hit my goals for the summer.

Pics and stats tomorrow.
