Sorry for not updating this in awhile, got busy with some personal stuff.
I decided since I was making good progress to extend the run at least another 2-4 weeks. Muscles have been feeling very full lately, strength is great as well as stamina. No major side effects to report. My diet hasn't gone as well as I've liked, I need to cut back on the carbs a lot more. Right now I'm at 222.4lbs at 15.7% bf (higher than I'd like to be, but I look leaner than before). So after 5 weeks, I'm down roughly 2.5% bf while my weight is up by 1-2lbs.Not earth shattering results, but not too bad considering my diet hasn't been great (I take in 350 gms protein / day but my carbs have been too high) and the fact that for one of those weeks I was sick in bed for most of it.
