Mass: 212.6 (+4.6)
Waist: 36.0 (--)
Arm: 16.625 (+0.125)
Thigh: 25.0 (--)
Calf: 15.125 (--)
Not quite sure how I gained 4.6# this week, but I'll accept it, as it came with no gain in waist size. Probably water retention for the most part. Very likely I will be lower next week, but that is ok. Weekly spike up & down are acceptable, provided the overall trend is more mass without a larger waist.
Only one more cycle of Boring But Big. Which is good, as I am losing enthusiasm for the program. Next up: a more traditional body building split. I have yet to work out the details, but it will probably be a four day rotation (legs, chest, back, shoulders), but with some direct arm work every day. The high frequency back work I am doing currently seems to be very effective (rows, chins, or deadlifts every lifting day), so I figure that if I try the same frequency for my arms it might help them.
After my bodybuilding cycle (12 weeks or so), I will begin the slow process of leaning out over a 6-month period or so. Diet will probably be more Shelby-traditional carb cycling. Lifting will start with something like the Triumverate (same basic set up as Boring But Big, but more strength than hypertrophy focused).
