Mission: The Tim Ferriss 4 week Muscle Building Exercise

I, Schastar, have accepted my first, long term mission.

I expect this mission to get me fully into the “now” by reconnecting with my body and resetting my diet. It is my last “cleanup tasks” before I fully engage in my goal to find companion for life.

I have made a bet with MindGame that will give me extra motivation. The contract I have agreed on is this:

Before:

The before measurements

• Weight (according to my WII): 78,9kg
• Chest: 108cm
• Belly: 91cm
• Ass at widest: 98cm
• Arms: 30cm
• Thighs: 59cm
• Neck: 41cm

Training program

Training is done every second day for between 30 and 60 minutes. All exercises are done with just one set.

Each repetition lasts 10 seconds, 5 seconds to raise weight, 5 seconds to lower.

The reps are done until breaking point (i.e. when you cannot do one more)

I will be blogging about the program in the following days.

Diet:

Allowed food:

• Eggs (but only the egg whites)
• Oatmeal with milk (but only for breakfast)
• Beef, Chicken, Fish and Shellfish
• Black bread (made of rye) - 3 slices a day
• Protein milk shakes
• Any fruit and vegetable
• Beans and Lentils

Everything else is not allowed. White bread, rice, pasta and other products heavy on carbon hydrate products will be avoided as much as possible.

I will have to drink plenty of water too.

Alcohol is strictly disallowed. The bet with MindGame is lost if just one unit of alcohol is taken in the 4 week period

Length of experiment:

The experiment runs from 5th June to 3rd July
