So, 4 weeks finished and wouldn't you know it, but I hurt my back! On Monday, I woke up feeling tired and sore, but I decided to push through it. I did my deadlifts and after the second work set, I was feeling pain in my lower back. But, I thought to myself, "it's all mental, I can do this." I pushed through it and did a set of 5 at 238#, and it felt ok (technique-wise) but after I was done, I couldn't bend over anymore. If I bent over, I couldn't stand up. This was weird, I thought. Soon, I couldn't even get out of bed. So, I spent about 24 hours in bed, and still have some pain today. Anyway, I hope it heals soon so I can get back to working out. I want to be able to do more work and make more gains, but I gotta be patient. At any rate, I've lost 6 pounds so far from 163 down to 157. I feel great, and I'm willing to say that it was all fat. I'm not sure if I've gained much muscle, maybe 1-2 pounds. Definitely lower body fat. I'm happy with the results. I don't want to lose fat too fast, because my real goal is to gain muscle. I can see a small difference in the mirror and in the photos. But, I suppose it'll take 12 weeks to see a real significant change. Anyway, here are some photos 4-weeks in...
