End of 2006 Update
I have continued to remain dedicated to my workout and nutrition program and have made some great progress over the last few months. My focus since the beginning of October has been to add muscle mass (Bulking). My dedication has resulted in adding over 20 pounds and a noticeable increase in my overall size. I do like the lifting program and schedule that I am currently using of Arms, Chest/Forearms, Back/Calves, Off, Shoulders/Forearms, Legs/Traps, Off and repeat. I do three or four exercises per body parts and three to four sets per exercises
My strength has also increased over the last few months. Below is some of the improvements:
Bench Press … up 22%
Front Pull Down … up 24%
Shoulder Press … up 16%
Dumbbell Curls … up 22%
Triceps Cable Press … up 16%
I have thought about my next three months goals and want to continue on the mass building. I am going to review my current workout program and make some minor adjustment. I am happy with my overall approach and the results but feel that some of my current exercises are not giving me the maximum results and need to be changed out. I am going to be adding some cardio and abdominal exercises that I have not been doing. My overall nutritional program has been great but it also can use some minor adjustments. I noticed that when I eat more red meat, I gain more muscle. I hope that I continue making good progress over the next three months in reaching my goals.
