So...I've been a noticeable absentee from this blog for a reason. You see, 12 weeks ago I started my own personal 'I am turning 30 and need to shape up' program. This originally involved enlisting Jen's personal trainer but, six week ago, I decided to get serious - a whole lifestyle change for six weeks with a regimented diet and exercise plan. No alchohol, no sweets, biscuits, bread, potatoes or crisps. Carbs only every three days and no drinks other than water.
It wasn't easy at all but today, six weeks on from taking that big decision the first set of results are in. And they are big.
In 12 weeks I have:
- dropped my total body fat percentage from 21.6% to 17.3%;
- lost 10cm around the waist;
- increased my starting back squat strength (15 reps, 3 sets combined with 20 medicine ball slams and 60 sec burpees in between) from 70kg to 110kg; and
- upped my unassisted 7 ft bar pull up max from 2 to 5.
As a guide I have pasted an embarrassing photo below (hopefully) showing the six week interval progress.
I'll update you all in six weeks!
