This is from the gym assessment. While I understand the results will be different as they use different methods. Usually, they both go the same direction. Not this time. Let the weirdness continue.

March 21 {June 12th, 2006}

Weight: 190 (-8lbs) {200}
BP: 125/78 {121/71}
BF%: 18.9% {21.8}
LM:154lbs {156}
FM: 35lbs {43}
Flex: 38cm {36} (This is a trunk flexion test. I'm hoping to hit 40cm by my 40th birthday.)
Grip Strength: More or less unchanged Right Hand - 65 Left Hand - 61.

There may be a 2% difference in this measurement. I was told the machine we used likely measures high, so inside, I'm thinking to myself I'm really 16.7% BF.

I note a major difference from today and a year ago as well. Down 18 pounds from a year ago, nine pounds FM, too. But also down nine pounds LM.

I'm wondering if I shouldn't reevaluate my goals. Do I carry on with the fat loss and continue to lose muscle? Do I switch to a hypertrophy program and hope to build muscle, maybe lose some fat and lower the BF% that way?

I've a few days to think about it before I start up again.
