In 2009 I reduced my waist from 36 to 29 inches while maintaining my muscle size. In 2010 I plan on reducing my waist further to 28 inches without sacrificing muscle size.
Why I like this video: Shows you what a pound of muscle looks like, and why your muscles aren't actually made completely of protein. If you want to build muscle, you need to know that not only are your muscles mostly water, but also that a pound of muscle is actually very large.
This is a comparison between photos of myself in February and September 2009. I am 5ft 5in. In the photos on the left I weighed 167lbs, my waist measured 36 inches and chest 39 inches. In the photos on the right I am 131lbs with a 29 inch waist and my chest is still...
2-3 full body workouts a week with adjustable dumbbells, bench and chinning bar. Cycle between heavy/light/medium workouts. Add weight to progress. No cardio.
Current routines as follows.
#1 (6-8 reps x 3 sets)
Chin up
Dip
Lunge
One leg lying hip extension
Overhead...
Thanks Oz. I've been following his progress for a while, before anyone here was talking about him. I like how he's set himself the target of a 970 raw deadlift which is insane but I wouldn't write him off if he moves up a class.
If it one day happens for him that would be an incredible achievement when you consider how slowly the raw record has moved over the last 2 decades.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I have had several comment on that pic. It may just become my signature pose :) Congratulations on your utstanding progress! In a short time you have made important chanes. How do you feel? I hope people are taking notice and asking questions. Well done :)
I only do about 5 sets, twice a week. They don't need much but I hope you hold a plate/db when doing those crunches =P It's worth doing weighted ab work to thicken them. Bodyweight ab work ceases to be effective fairly quickly I think.
Awesome, congrats! Well you abs are pretty clear in your last progress pic so I'm sure you'll reach that goal in no time! What do you do for ab training?
Thanks =) Yeah, I've been surprisingly consistent with cardio recently! I'm quite pleased, want to get my abs showing a bit more. How's your training going?
