Buster Benson I need more goals.
After 6 months of slow weights… most of that time doing it 2 times a week, but recently transitioning to once a week, I got re-measured in various places. Here are the somewhat disappointing results…
- Neck: 35.5cm (then) -> 36cm (now)
- Chest: 91.5cm -> 95cm
- Stomach: 80cm -> 81.5cm
- Right thigh: 50cm -> 51cm
- Right upper arm (relaxed): 28.5cm > 29.5cm
- Right upper arm (flexed): 30.5cm -> 30.5cm
- Right calf: 38cm -> 39cm
My chest measurement shows the biggest change, and I can definitely notice the change. Overall, I do feel stronger and denser in general, and not as flimsey. But my goal when starting was to gain 10lbs of muscle and so far I’ve only gained about 2. However, during the last 6 months I also engaged in Health Month during January, and got pretty sick twice, both of which resulted in losing gains that I had previously made.
What should I do? These slow weights are expensive. I guess my goal is to do it for a year, which I think I can do. But at this point I’m reaching the same results I was able to get from just going to the gym and running, for a much cheaper price.
