I don't seem to be losing any muscle, and strength hasn't taken much of a hit at all, to my surprise. I'm lifting heavier than normal, as to opposed to more reps, as to do anything to preserve muscle mass. Weight is probably at 195 lb.
Measuring out everything and I'm following my diet to a T. Feeling run down at the gym and I crash often, but its just one of those things. I still work harder than anyone else in the gym, despite it.
Back fat and love handles are definitely getting blasted
HIIT 6 days a week and the strictest diet of my life... I've pushed my body and mind harder than ever before this past month. It's getting tough!
