Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hey Andy, How did you ever do with the lean/bulk routine? I know you started it…did you keep it up? Terri _____ From: bodyforlife [mailto:bodyforlife ] On Behalf Of Andy Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 10:13 AM To: bodyforlife Subject: Re: Hello to everyone Joe, it can be tough to get started. That is one reason I have quit taking any breaks from weight lifting. After taking a break, it is tough to restart. If I want a break, I now just cut back on the length or intensity of my workouts. Keeping in the same routine really helps me stay focused. Some people will lose water weight their first week and see a big drop. Others may not see the scale move. You really need to look at the fact you've gained strength. I'd look closer at your measurements (especially the waist) than the scale. That will be a true indicator of progress regardless of what the scale says. I think your goal of 2 - 3 inches off your waist is good. I've been very happy with the way BFL has " toned " my body. I'm only 152 lbs and 5'11 " , but look muscular. I'm in Columbia, MO so not too far from you.
