Week 7 Progress
You ever get that sense of satisfaction that comes from having to look OVER your pecs in order to see the dial on the scale you’re standing on? Well, on Sunday, Feb. 25th, one week after my birthday, I got a double shock! Not just the size of my chest had increased, but I am now standing tall at 182 lbs.
"182 lbs!? What’s that!? I benchpress more than that!" Ok, ok, it may not seem like a lot for someone else, but when I started weight training in college, I was 6′3-1/2" tall and weighed 138 lbs fully clothed. To be so much closer to my goal of 200 lbs, and to have gained that mass as lean tissue is something I consider a great accomplishment.
The most noticeable changes have been in my strength, which has skyrocketed in recent weeks. I attribute the gains in size and strength to an actual diet plan rather than eating anything that came close to my face. In addition, the Most Improved Bodypart goes to my back, which has gotten thicker and a bit wider. I’ve noticed that my body is becoming more symmetrical as my left arm has finally reached the same size as my right arm.
I’m documenting my progress in a few different places, but primarily on my Bodyspace account as it generates graphs where you can immediately see the improvements. Thanks to Derek Charlebois for his help and guidance in training! Still 3 more weeks to go, bro! haha.
