my progress so far

alohman Posts: 18 Joined: 2004/01/09	2004/03/26, 12:08 AM I've been working out 5 days per week for the past month. I measured and weighed myself at the start and here's how it looks. Monday February 23 2004 WT on bathroom scale 229 Neck = 17 L Bicep = 15.5 R Bicep = 16 Chest = 44 Waist = 46 L Thigh = 27.25 R Thigh = 26.25 Wednesday March 24 2004 WT on bathroom Scale 232 Neck = 16.5 L Bicep = 16 R Bicep = 16.5 Chest = 44 Waist = 46 L Thigh = 24.5 R Thigh = 25 I'm dissapointed with what I got. I was expecting more loss around my waist and gain in my chest as those were my main goals. I'm shocked about my thighs, they didn't seem that fatty and I wonder if that measurement is wrong hehe. My question to you all is. Does this seem like good progress to you for 4 weeks of training? I'm on a 4 day plan that hits all major muscles, and I do 10 mins of cardio to warm up (10 min mile on treadmill). Should I be doing more cardio?

You can't choose where the fat goes from and we all know the chest, bum and stomach are always last and we want it first! Don't be dissapointed at successs- that is what it is! Look at your workout and choose where you will put on extra muscle out of necessity or because of mass- ie chest, shoulders, back, legs- only train 1 or 2 times a week to real hard failure. Cardio the rest of it but take a couple of days rest eh! Diet is also very important, eating too little wont help and the whole process is years not weeks so perspective and goal setting helps. You are doing it- That's great!
