Progress Report: Getting Muscular!
It's been a couple weeks, so I thought I would show what my arms look like as I continue the strength training. I think my arms and my legs look in great shape… I still need work on my abs.
I've been hitting the weights five times a week as my trainer gave me tougher workout routine this time around. I work different muscle groups every other day, with two days off from the strength training. I'll see him again on Monday for a new workout routine. In addition, he's planning on checking the body fat percentage. I'll let you know how it goes.
I think eating clean has been helping too. I still have lots of protein, primarily from plant sources, but also from turkey too. It's important to eat healthy while strength training and get enough protein while strength training.
I hope you'll agree that there's progress in my strength training. Just to remind you, here's a picture from a few weeks ago.
Here's the pictures I took today. I don't have much loose skin in my arms so I know it's tightening. Hopefully the abs will too!
