Review of Methods

I’m taking weight measurements every day, physical measurements every Monday, nutrition information every day, and rep/weight measurements for every workout on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The main keys to this regimen are two workouts a week for maximum recovery time, completing one set of each exercise to failure, and eating very large amounts of protein.

Weightlifting Data:

Until I can come up with a better way to graph all of this, which I will by the end of the experiment, I’ll give some increases that I’ve seen.

Alternating Pullover: From not even 10 straight reps with 15 lbs, to 10 reps at 25 lbs.
Wide-Grip, Incline Bench Press: From 10 reps averaging 62 lbs, to 8 total reps at 111 lbs.
Drag Curl: From 10 reps at 44 pounds, to 7 reps at 89 pounds.

All of this was accomplished from 06/05/2007 to 06/12/2007.

That’s 8 total days between the first day of exercise and the last set of exercise.

I can’t wait to see how the rest of the progress goes and will update you next on Monday.
