Status: Week 1 of Training Program

So far, I have been running one week of the Tim Ferriss workout program.

I have done four workouts lasting half an hour each. The program I do is slow reps until breaking point. I do these exercises:

• Triceps Kickback
• Biceps Curl (45 degree bench)
• Hanging Leg Raise
• Machine Leg Press
• Ab Crunch Machine
• Machine Lateral Raise
• Machine Lateral Pull
• Machine Chest Press

It takes about 30 minutes to do the program, 1 set of each…

The results are pretty stunning, but not what I expected. So far, I have not gained weight, but lost it (1.2Kg). My protein intake is super high – consistently above 100g per day (And sometime even more). So I do not think my muscles are starving for building blocks.

Even though I have lost weight, there is some evidence that I have gained muscle. After every training pass I have been able to life more weight than on the previous pass.

Looking at myself in the mirror, it LOOKS like I have better muscles. There is definitely some weight loss at the belly too and the side abs are beginning to show slightly. And remember this: I have trained for just a bit more than a week.

Next week, I will be doing a new measurement of my arm sizes – to back up the observation with numbers.

By the way, the application: iFitness for iPhone is pretty amazing for tracking your training progress. I highly recommend it
