Update
Hello everyone
It's a shame there hasn't been much of any activity going on. I miss seeing the progress pics and the updates. What's going on guys?! :p
Well I'm sure things will pick up in time :)
I haven't been up to a whole lot with the working out. I was doing a powerlifting routine but keeping up with the calories was getting too tedious and I just couldn't keep up with all the prep that went into making pasta every night before bed. So I didn't really put on as much mass as I should have, either way, my loss.
But then things started veering off more towards martial arts training: muay thai and brazilia jujitsu. I've been keeping up with some weight training, from time to time (maybe 3 times a week) in addition to the martial art stuff and cycling about 1 hour a day on most days. My belly has also been going down because of it too. But I tell ya, it seems like no matter how much your belly goes down, it's like it just won't go away.
I've also found that my trouble area seems to be.... (why of all places? ): my pecs...
I can bench about 200 lbs but my pecs seem to be lagging behind. It's not that there isn't any deveolpment happening, because I have more of a chest than when I started, but either way it's not really a whole lot that's changed. Ah well, I'm still gonna keep working 'cause I know it'll develop.
So yeah, where was I? Ah, pics!
I finished an arm and shoulder workout last night. Now in addition to the above, I've been experimenting with different ways of working out. The first few pictures (with the black shorts) were taken after doing super sets. Example: Front lateral raise/hammer curls etc. I basically did a lift for one muscle, and then a lift for an unrelated muscle, rested a minute between super sets and carried on. These pictures were taken on 28 June 2013
The second set of pictures (yep, the ones in the white shorts) were taken on 30 June 2013. For this workout experiment, I did a shoulder/arms circuit to failure. This is what I did:
Front lateral raise
Side lateral raise
Skull Crushers
Rear delt raise (laying on a 45 degree bench, lifting plates with bent arms out to the sides)
Hammer curls
Seated military press
Dips
Wide grip curls
I did all that as a set, for 2 sets and I did them to failure (I know there are differing opinions on working to failure, but I did the literal version where you stop once you can't do the lift with perfect form)
So with all that being said, here are the pics:
And god damnit I hate hairloss! D8
