each picture is taken 1 month a part . pic 1 was after the first 3 months of dieting and training, pic two was last month , and picture 3 was taken yesterday. pay attention to the chest muscles how they got continuelly firmer and harder. The bottom of the stomach has lost fat storage, and the overall fat over the whole body has lost fat, also the arms have better overall vascularity and the skin looks tighter. total weight loss from each picture is "0" typically i hold more fat on my back than any other body part!! so when we go over all the back pictures the change is insane.
the auger .. has seen extensive changes in the past 3 weeks .. for one his body weight is now 215 pounds .. gaining another pound . whats impressive is that he has lost body fat, he is leaner and gaining weight. this was thought to be impossible with out the use of steroids .. in which i have proved wrong countless times before .. as you will see in my pictures..
secretly i have made my self the test subject of a 6 month experiment to see how much muscle i could gain and fat i could loose with out using any supplements, or vitamins, only food, and a recovery drink i made for my self after a work out would be used. i would also use 2 protein bars, and protein shake as meals.. i used isopure protein i would fluctuate my calories each week. . as body fat would drop i would increase the calories this way it would be a steady and slow increase of muscle gain , to loss of fat so far .. my starting weight was 275 currently i am weighing 255 pounds. my waist has dropped 6 sizes, in which i am happy with. my strength has gone up also .. 30-40 pound increase on the 3 major lifts dead, squat and bench. my numbers now are about 100 pounds off from my all time best totaling lifts so i am 300 pounds off the mark of my best total. currently i totaled a 1275 raw with no belt. my alltime total was a 675 dead, 550 squat, and 385 bench raw with a belt. currently i did a 555 dead, 455 squat, and a 265 bench with out a belt . so looking at the numbers you can see that i am starting to get stronger and closer to my all time total.
if you dont know in 2006 i suffered a major injury and set back tearing my tricep tendon, and pec. injuries that took 4 years of rehab!! mental and physical. in 2010 i suffered a major injury again on a freak accident, to my pec and elbow.
so the rehab began again just as i had gotten my numbers back up . this time i am taking my time .. and setting goals that are realistic to the injury. also going to drs. to get mri,s x rays, and information on the injury to help the rehab process ..
so far its been 1 year. and as you can see other than the bench my numbers are going back to where they should be. but again this is a totally different approach. instead of doing the rehab and training i am training to rehab.. its all movement and mental based training. very different from your every day work out. the most important things that i have learned is diet is the main component to muscle gain, the other thing i have learned that over and under training are very similar. if you under train you can become sore , and if you over train you can become sore .. its all about reaching the correct thresh hold of work for each muscle group. this has been the main component of my thesis .
the auger experiment will continue but on a much more scientific level.
