I started the New Rules of Lifting workouts on July 29, 2007. I just finished the Fat Loss II workouts and did my measurements. Here are the results:
Category | 7/29/2007 | 7/10/2007 | +/- |
Weight (lbs) | 237 | 234 | -3 |
Body Fat % | 22.7 | 19.6 | -3.1 |
LBM (lbs) | 183.2 | 188.14 | +4.94 |
Chest (in) | 44.5 | 44.5 | No change |
Left Bicep (in) | 13.75 | 14.5 | +0.75 |
Right Bicep (in) | 14 | 15 | +1 |
Abs (in) | 44 | 42.5 | -1.5 |
Left thigh (in) | 25.25 | 26.5 | +1.25 |
Right thigh (in) | 25.25 | 26.5 | +1.25 |
Left Calf (in) | 17.25 | 17.25 | No change |
Right Calf (in) | 17.25 | 17.5 | +0.25 |
The amazing thing to me is that I did nothing to directly work my biceps durng the Breakin and Fat Loss II workouts (the two workouts I completed during this time period) and yet my biceps grew more than ever before. I can also state that the “fat loss” workout definitely torched fat off my body, dropping 3.1% over the time period and losing 1.5 inches in my stomach area. Pictures to follow later today.
