I've followed the 4HB Slow Carb diet the last couple weeks while lifting and doing base training. So far I feel pretty good. My weight has stayed pretty steady but I feel like I've put on a lot of muscle and have helped my biking a bunch.
I had my body fat tested this week with calipers at the gym and came in at 151 lbs 8.82% body fat. My body fat goal is to stay under 8% so I'm pretty close. The caliper test has a 3-5% error but I feel like it's pretty accurate. My Tanita scale is way off for body fat but at least it gives an accurate weight.
I followed the strength training program in the 4 Hour body for a couple weeks but decided to just do the maximum strength program form Friel's Mountain Biker's Training Bible. The workouts are great and very relevant to being a stronger rider. So far I haven't missed any weight workouts and my Base training is going great this winter. Now I just have to stay motivated.
