Hi,
I started the the 8 week deluxe muscle building plan last Saturday. I'll keep track of my progress in this thread. I have been lifting routinely for a few years now and have no problem gaining or losing weight, my problem is putting on LBM while limiting fat gain.
Here are my base line measurements taken first thing on Saturday morning of 3/24
Height: 5'8''
Weight: 195
Waist: 33
Chest: 43
Biceps: 16
Quads: 24
Calves: 16
I'll take new measurements every two weeks, except for weight. After one week my weight is up to 196 lbs and my muscles look a little fuller in the mirror. I have no precise way to measure body fat so I will use the mirror and my waist line as the gauge.
The workouts have been more brutal than I thought they would be after first reviewing the plan. I originally thought the rest periods were way too long, but after my first workout I realize that the length is needed. Perhaps it is because I am used to training in the 3-6 rep range with a lower TUT than I am using now.
The Dropkick Murpheys have been helping me blast through the workouts. :head:
I have been following the diet Bobo gave me strictly, however, a couple times I had to knock back the egg whites raw due to convienence. Is there any benefit to eating eggs cooked as opposed to raw? I have read arguments for both sides.
This last part might be too much information, but it might mean something. After starting the diet I have had some rather uneasy bowel movements and my gas has become more frequent and smells of methane. I took the Lysol can out of the bathroom at work and I am keeping it in my office for now.:gas:
