Seen some small results. It's only been two weeks, I'll try my hardest not to look at myself in the mirror on a daily basis. That's a habit I need to kick. If you sit in front of the mirror looking at yourself 3 or 4 times a day for 5 or so minutes, you really don't see the progress. I'll try to cover myself up for a couple fo weeks cause I have made some progress.
I think my face has gotten even more defined, shoulders a little more broad, arms I think have flattened out after that initial boost. Stomach is just a tricky spot. I just have to deal. Another 10 more weeks of recomping that I can finally "bulk". I desperately need to add some muscle/weight on my frame. If you count this recomp as a non-bulking period, it'd be exactly 7 months of not being in a caloric surplus. I cannot wait for it though. Still going to try to get in even better shape, get my strength up, etc. so when I do start "bulking", I'll be using heavier weights than before and being lean.
I know with my genetics(which are pretty shitty), the one benefit of small bones is the fact that my waist is so narrow. My bones are small and long, so my shoulders are wide. Hence, a very good v-taper even in a shirt. I gain my weight on my shoulders/lats, face, and stomach first. Hardly on the arms, legs, chest, etc. Can't wait till that time in late November, I know I'll "blow up", in the sense I'll be rebounding back into it. It's where the shirts drape you.
Enough of that, and more of this. Results have been solid. We're upping the cardio by a bit, last week on this routine & exercise panel, next week it's different. I have 3 more workouts this week, and so far I've made BIG improvements on my back/shoulder exercises, and minor on my arms/chest.
My rowing and pulldown weight added a healthy 15-20lbs per 5 reps in these 15 days.
Thinking about adding Powdered muscle from TP since I'm working on campus and have more than enough extra cash. May do that towards the tail end of my recomp just to enhance results. I'll talk to Alex about it.
