OWE14 D1-10 Results: 274.0-258.0

On D1 (01.06.14) I weighed in at 274.0 pounds of bodyweight, My goal at the outset of Op Waist Elimination '14 was the same as it is every time I'm on the Rapid Weight Loss program; to lose half a pound to a pound a day. I got on the scale the morning of D11... 258.0

D11/0515 - 258.0 pounds Bodyweight

I'm down 16 pounds of bodyweight in the first 10 days of the crash-cut. That's an average of 1.6 pounds a day, it's a little faster than it should be but, I'll take it.

With the training split I've put together for this round I haven't noticed a significant loss of strength yet but... It's coming. All and all I'll be prepping for the fitness test, and only on the RWL program for a total of 38 days. I'm hoping that the strength loss isn't too drastic.

My best recent overhead (Axle Clean/Press) was 303 Mid-Nov '13. Because overhead is my weakest area I'll only be tracking that in terms of strength loss. If at the end of this thing I can still put up 270 (around 90% of my max) I'll consider it a victory. When push comes to shove and I have decide between smashing weights and grinding out cardio, for the next 30 days, cardio' going to win. 

To recap...

Day 1: 274.4

Day 11: 258.0

I have no desire to continue losing over a pound a day and eventually it will slow down, hopefully I won't hit a wall in the next 10 days and I can stay within the 'half a pound to a pound a day' target range.

Goal for D21 (01.26.14) weigh-in: Bodyweight to be somewhere in between 253 & 248 pounds.
