Body composition transformation challenge

THIS CHALLENGE IS FOR PERSONS MORE INTERESTED IN REDUCING BODY FAT THAN WHAT THE SCALE SAYS.

I posted this some time before but I'm doing it in a group setting this time around. I have just started doing NROL (the original one) and I’m tracking my body composition. For persons who are lifting, some of you are probably doing that already. I decided to start a challenge that we can use to monitor how our bodies are changing, to ensure we’re on the right track.

The challenge is:

1. Check your body fat % and scale weight once a week.

2. Post the measurements to the thread or enter them into a Google Docs spreadsheet.

3. The spreadsheet will calculate whether or not you have met the challenge based on the criteria that:

a. Any increase in body fat must be with an even bigger increase in LBM.

b. Any decrease in LBM must be with an even bigger decrease in BF.

If you have your own method of calculating your bf % you would use that, otherwise, the spreadsheet provides a calculator for you.

Btw, if you join, don’t drop out because you aren’t happy with your results, get better results! (This happened the first time)

NROL = New Rules of Lifting which is a book that focuses on 6 basic moves to be used in the gym. It provides programs you can use for fat loss, build strength, etc.

LBM = Lean Body Mass which basically is the sum of the weight of your bones, organs and MUSCLE. But the challenge calculates it for you so you won't have to do it yourself.
