The idea and focus here is to build muscle with 2 workouts a week not lasting more than 45 mins to 1 hr each. The challenging part of this is that you need to eat and by eat I mean a lot. The tenants of the diet are simple, stable blood sugar, starchy carbs and loads of veggies and protein. If you follow the 4 hr body book by tim ferris you will see the complete outline and I will be happy to share the outline if asked but I am to lazy to outline it here. I started this program exactly 1 week ago and trusted in the program to deliver the claims, I had followed a similar program back when I was 22 and had added roughly 32 lbs in 5 weeks to my frame of muscle. I am not a genetic freak in case most are wondering, rather someone whom knows that to build muscle you need hormones, the key is to trigger the bodies hormonal responses.
So here we are the end of week 1. How did my results go? Well here is the breakdown from my starting point to the end of week 1:
Measurements:
Weight: 166 LBS up 6 LBS.
Neck: 16" up 0.5"
Shoulders: 48.5" up 0.5"
Chest: 40.75" up 1.25"
Bicep unflexed: 13.5" up 0.5"
Forearm unflexed: 11.5" unchanged
Thigh: 23" up 1"
Calf: 15" up 0.5"
Now onto bodyfat analysis, 4caliper measurements and here was the surprise I had expected to see these go up as well but only 1 went up which was the suprilliac measurement and not by much just 1 mm more. Overall bodyfat is down slight from around 11.5% ish to 10.5% ish, so this was good news meaning that the overall gain in lean bodymass is somewhere around 5 - 6 lbs allowing some water weight to factor into that as my weight was as low as 166 on sunday morning up to 172 just a few moments ago and that is post potein shake and a monster supper official weigh in will be tomorrow morning but I am using the sunday figure as my rough ballpark. So 5-6 lbs gain of lean bodymass in 1 week ppl. It can be done, not easy by any means but it is achieveable.
