I like it... the RME Fatass challenge.
Fire it up.
I'll play...
40 yrs old
5'10"
In April, I weighed 260
Today, I weigh 240
I haven't gotten scientific about this. I just cut my food intake by at least half and go to the gym 3 days/week.
When at the gym, I lift weights and do some cardio most of the time for about 20 minutes.
My lifting program consists of following the plan described in a book called "The Book of Muscle" (not as gay as it sounds)
.
Anyway, my bench press went up from a max of 280 (when I last tried 12 years ago) to 350. I dang near did 365 a few weeks ago but I didn't do my usual warm up. I'm pretty sure I could do 375 with a proper warm up.
In the past I never bothered much with squats and deadlifts so I have no comparison, but now I'm sqatting 335 and deadlifting 335.
Before, I couldn't do more than maybe 10 situps. Now, I can do around 80 in 2 minutes. I can even do situps now without someone holding my feet. It's amazing how hard it is to do a situp without your feet held down
. Most people laugh when they hear that but go ahead and try it
.
Before, I couldn't do one pull up (palms facing forward). Now, I can do 3 or 4 on a good day.
Hey, I'm still working on that
.
Starting next week and for the next 90 days I will work on the "stripdown phase", following a program called "PX90". The goal is to get down to 220.
All that, minus the Corvette and girfriend and my midlife crisis will be complete!
