Hey guys, its my first post but I have been reading up a lot on this site. Well i just started my 8 week off-season football workout. Im using this program because I like the way its set up and makes me work my ass off, I do play football but like I said these 8 weeks are not for my training for football, I just want to see what I can get out of it. I work out 5 days a week, wed. being my light workout day. I weigh in at about 200, I am 6'0 and I would say I do have a good amount of muscle underneath a thin layer of extra fat that I would like to get rid of.

My question: I have been running in the mornings at 6:30 am everyday for about 25 minutes, my run path is not flat, it has many steep hills so it makes me work hard. I usually do this type of run 4 times a week every morning. I then have classes and at 3 I hit the weight room. I start with a 15 min bike ride to get my muscles warmed up and then hit the weights for roughly 2 hours depending on what group of muscles I am working. I end my workout with a 1.5 mile cool down run. I am on a very strict diet and I do not eat anything after 6pm. Ive only been doing this for (laugh) 1 week. I feel that I am getting too paranoid with results, My weight has been fluctuating between 196-200 all week with no stable weight loss. Can you guys please tell me if this week was just my body getting used to my routine and losing water? Or am I doing something wrong.

P.S. I am on the EC stack for that extra boost. I sweat like a pig everytime I do cardio...feels like lbs of water is pouring from my body. Hopefully its paranoia and I should chill the **** out cuz its only been a week 8-)


Thanks guys, sorry for long post.
