Results ALREADY ? sweet lol

Post by x_rated_mo »

well, i took the circumference of chest, arms, upper thighs, waist, hips (obliques-ish)
also for fun just took weight and height .. turns out i've lost 1 kilogram, and an inch off waist ..
upper body is the same, which is a good thing, but kinda a bad thing cuz i wanted to melt the fat on the chest/biceps

sister is awesome when it comes to advice/helping out, and she says she didnt notice a differnce .. which didnt tick me off one bit cuz its jus one week that i've been back to workin out since like 2 months ish

i'm gonna also begin takin athletic measures at the begining of week 2--pushups per minute, vertical jump, 1 mile run, chinups per 30 seconds (then increase) etc.
and see where i'm heading

test every 4 weeks not weekly...basically for fat loss though as long as your strength is at least maintained than you're on the right track...leave your energy for the workouts

woohoo good news but bad news too--i got bf% taken, bad news is that its 16 !!! last time i took it it was 15, and that was before i got results during that time ..

every 4 weeks eh ? sounds good .. i was hopin to be like half way there by that time i mean the article IS about *maximizing* fat loss .. but at this point i dont relly give a shit i mean whatever works lol so i'm gonna be patient

you'll actually get fatter if:

1 - cal's are too low
2 - your not lifting heavy enough to even maintain muscle
3 - both

what if i happen to lift heavy on an exercise in one of circuits?

sometimes i jus pick a weight that'll give me about 10 reps rather then 12-15 so i just stick to it ..

first week i realized i lifted heavy alot for lower body .. legs got the beating bad the past week haha
