Last Assessment of the year, the next six week cycle will end early January, and I’m continuing my plan to do the Total Tension Complex for hypertrophy. With that being said, what did the modified Simple Strength program do? As far as my one-rep max I’m still at 62lbs or 41% of my bodyweight, a stalemate except for the improved trunk strength from hardstyle planks, farmer walks and suitcase carries. I cannot complain there though I think I would need more time to coax the press strength up. I’m already plotting out the first part of next year. Now to see what my body composition looks like.
Body Composition (inches)
Body Part Before After -/+
Neck 14.2 14.0 -0.2
Shoulders 43.25 42 -1.25
Chest 37.5 36.2 -1.3
Waist 33 32.5 -.5
Biceps 12.37 12.3 -.07
Forearms 11 11.1 +0.1
Thighs 21.25 21.2 -.05
Calves 13.75 13.5 -.25
Weight 153.4lbs 153.8 +0.4lbs
Body Fat % 16.7% 16.1% -0.6%
Lean Body Mass 127.8lbs 129.1 +1.3lbs
Small shift in weight, little fat loss and muscle gain, and overall I shrank. The next 6 weeks will be interesting with the double kettlebell complex. Time to put the twin 44s to use.
