Danny, how did they arrive at 15 blocks? Was it based on your total weight, current lean muscle mass, or desired lean muscle mass? Most of the charts I’ve seen are fairly vague on the number of blocks to try, so I’m curious how they came up with a different number than you. I’ve been taking my lunches and snacks to work for a couple of weeks now, but I haven’t measured anything yet. That will be my next step once I figure out how many blocks to shoot for.
Jeff-
the formula is your current lean weight x .7 = ?
take that # and divide it by 7 = your block Rx.
because you’re lean and have trouble keeping weight on, I would recommend going one block higher than your Rx, and 2x the fat. that’s twice the Rx’d fat at every meal and snack. I bet you’ll find that you’ll lose weight even at that, and may have to triple your fat. hope this helps
… and when I made the first lift at 235lbs. it felt like the back of my left leg exploded. Thus ended my workout, as I headed home to the icebag. Hopefully it is not as major as it felt.
Jeff- I’ve also ordered some professional bodyfat calipers and am going to get trained to take measurements. If you or anyone else are interested in getting your lean weight tested i’ll be glad to help.
