Hey peeps, sorry I didn't get a chance to write yesterday, it was crunch time for my final exam and that had me completely preoccupied. Well, its almost midnight the next day and my final is now over! I am so happy to have that burden off my shoulders. Now I can really focus on knocking off the last bit of fat on my body.
Also, I'd like to mention something I've heard a lot of people say lately "Getting shredded should be easy because Well Derrick, you were lean to start with". Comparatively speaking, that is true. BUT what people DON'T realize is that after one gets in the single digits of body fat, especially for my age group, it becomes exponentially difficult to get lower. Increased efforts only yield diminishing returns as the body fights to hold on to essential fats. THat's what I will have to deal with in the next 2 weeks. If I started at 20% and said "hey, I'm going to drop down to 14% in 4 weeks" that would be FAR EASIER task than dropping from 11% to 5% (both are a 6% drop). I'm already lean and the leaner I get the harder it gets. Thats where determination and skill separates typical gym rats from the pros.
