Gender:  |  have you been taking your BF% at all? also Doing a lot of kb work will develope your arms, shoulders, traps and upper back much more than most exercises do. so you might be building more muscle than you think. |

| ^ perhaps dave, but so many people talk about recomping, and to me it sounds like bullshit. You can safely lose roughly 2lbs of fat a week, but there is no way in hell your gaining 2lbs of muscle in a weeks time. I know this is a very general way to think of it, but I just want to lose fat, and gain endurance, right now adding muscle isnt my first concern, although I would like to save most of what I have  |

| Ok, per Dave's advice I'm going to start 3x week now. Here is this weeks first workout. Monday: Double clean an press 5x5 alt alt bent over row 5x5 (65lb) Double Squat 4x5 alt alt snatch 4x5 (65lb) windmill (l,r) 1x5 band pull overs 2x20 alt fore arm curls 2x20 My number of sets dropped slightly due to incorperating heavier wieghts. The snatches fatiqued the hell out of me, and my joints werent exactly ready for the impact that the snatches had. I was a bit disapointed by the windmills, I lost form badly after the first set, I was so fatiqued from everyting else this really suffered. I'll have to work on that. |

| yeah, I dont think it will be a problem to acclimate to this workout. I was actually pretty proud of myself for doing 4x5 on snatches with both arms at that wieght. After the first set i really only thought I would get one more. |

| Nope, i do this in my apartment. Its actually a lot easier that way, with my schedule i really only have about an hour to get this done, so walking back and forth to the gym really takes up too much time. |
