An economic slow down

Sense completing phase 1, training has changed from getting in shape to sharpening skills while maintaining shape.  Sadly his diet has hampered his improvement and slowed down his training.  He is more fatigued faster and for longer and his level of strength went from drastic improvements to little at all.  The weights used even had to be lowered under the weight he was lifting in Phase 1.  The evidence of this is seen through is loss of body weight (muscle mass) and increase in body fat.  Our hopes is that his diet improves so that we can get back to Phase 1 weight and start to see his stamina return to where it was and then see another drastic improvement before getting to Phase 3.

After the completion of Phase 1 he, on average, improved at an impressive 46.5%.  From the beginning of Phase 2 until now his improvement is only an average of 9.6%.
