Big guns

Per a recent request, here is an update on my weight training regime: I’ve made moderate progress, and that’s about it.

I think there may have been some confusion about my goal with this. I didn’t expect to have fabulously sculpted arms in a matter of weeks. I know that lifting weights does not burn fat, I get the whole need for cardio thing. All I wanted was to build a little upper body strength, because lemme tell ya, I’m weak.

As it was explained to me, I should have expected to see results in six weeks, and I’m proud to say that with the exception of a day or two, I stuck to this routine the whole time. It’s now been over seven weeks actually. And yes, I can see a slight increase in strength. Wait, let me rephrase. I can feel a slight increase, I can’t see shit. No visible difference, but I didn’t really expect that.

So I’m gonna go ahead and not recommend this to anyone. Not because it failed, but because I’m sure there’s a better routine out there somewhere for toning upper arms. As for me, I’ll just keep doing what I’ve been doing. Until I get bored or something.

    Thanks for the update. I’ve been just sitting around with my big fat arms waiting to see if you had any success. I mean, why should we both put in the effort if it were only going to fail anyway, right? … Maybe I’ll consider the cardio idea. But can you try it first? :o P Hehe.
