No offense DJ...You won't be hitting 165 @ 7% anytime soon...At least if you don't change your training and eating methods..Hope this helps..
This week:
Phase 3. I will attempt to lose 5 LBS of body-fat, while adding 2.5 inches to my arms...
None taken man, and you are entitled to your beliefs. I could go back to some of your posts/predicitons at the start of this thread, and show how I have already proved you wrong, but I'll just let it be
And of course I have changed my eating methods, by upping my cals greatly. I've gone from 500-700 daily cals to 2000-2500 cals daily.
I'm curious, what do you find wrong with my training methods exactly? I have NEVER claimed that there is only one correct way to train, but there is ONLY ONE WAY TO PROGRESS, that being... PRGRESSIVE OVERLOAD. So if one's training method leads them to practice and apply PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD, then they are on the right path

And yes, my method has allowed me to apply this guiding principle.
I have a question for those of you who don't think that it's possible to gain muscle very quickly. How is it possible that David Hudlow addded 18.5 pounds of lean muscle in less than 2 weeks, while adding nearly an inch and a half to each arm?
18-1/2 Pounds of Muscle in Two Weeks
Drew Baye: That 18-1/2 pounds of muscle built by David Hudlow in two weeks seems almost too good to be true. Is there anything I’m missing here?
Ellington Darden: Actually, I understated the time period. The 18-1/2 pounds of muscle occurred in 11 days, not 14. He registered no weight gain during days 12, 13, and 14, so I just called it two weeks to keep it in line with the other two-week plans in the book. I took accurate measurements of Hudlow before and after, as well as photos of him from the front and back, which you can examine in the HIT book on page 202, so I’ve tried to present the results in as factual a way as possible.
I know a lot of people believe that adding that much muscle so quickly is impossible. That’s why I had Hudlow’s resting metabolic rate checked before and after the 14 days. Not surprising to me, the addition of 18-1/2 pounds of muscle increased his resting metabolic rate by 530 calories, or 28.6 calories per pound of added muscle per day. That reinforced to me that the weight gain was added muscle and not just water brought about from the creatine loading. (The before-and-after photos confirmed that also.) I do think, however, that the creatine monohydrate formula was responsible for from 25 to 30 percent of the results.
Try and get rid of your emotions here, and just look at this from an objective and scientific standpoint.
