Into week 3!!

So today was my first day of week three, and I'm feeling great about my results already. Visually, it's obvious that I've lost weight (my estimation is about 5-10 lbs based on personal experience, but I'm not exactly sure because I don't own a scale yet). That's cool, but I'm not so much worried about weight as I am physical appearance and overall strength. That being said, let's break down my workout this morning, which was my final chest and back workout for a few weeks (in week 5 it's chest, shoulders and arms I think).

Overall, my muscular endourance has improved VASTLY. Part of it is knowing what to expect and just having the practice of doing the moves. Muscle memory makes a huge difference when it comes to the performance of exercises. I've increased the total number of pushup reps by about 15% roughly since day 1, and though I still can't do many pullups, I have improved in that area too. On day one I couldn't even do multiple reps in the second group of pull up exercises, and the most I ever did in a single set was 4. Now I can do 6 wide grip and 6 reverse grip in their first sets without stopping to rest, which like I said isn't many, but is a VAST improvement. I think I'll be able to do mulitiple sets of around 15 by the end (hopefully).

I CANNOT WAIT to post pics of my results. It's only day 15, and I feel, look, and workout much better than day 1. I think the reason for the bigtime results is the diet plan. I'll be honest, I cheat on it one day a week, either by having a few drinks, having some reasonable fast food (like subway), or by having a big meal. I love food too much to not do this, and by having a little cheat day, it keeps me much more relaxed and focused during the week, when I am STRICT about what goes into my body, how much goes into it, and when it goes into it.

So far, the first two weeks = success. That's all for now kids. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in a comment and I'll get back to 'em.
