Velocity Diet Day 7

May 7th, 2008 Mark No comments

Today’s Measurements (cold, not flexed):

Bicep: 15″ (no change)
Calf: 16.5″ (-0.5″)
Thigh: 22.5″ (-1.5″)
Neck: 15″ (-0.5″)
Forearm: 12.75″ (no change)
Waist: 33.5″ (-3″)
Lower Abs: 38″ (-2″)
Chest: 40″ (-1″)

Weight: 217lbs (15st 7lbs) / 98.4Kg (-5lbs / 2.2Kg)

I was hoping that my lower abs (i.e. the real waist! – fattest area around love handles etc) would’ve decreased a bit more but no dice. I’ll measure again on Day 9, maybe then the dreaded mushy love handles will have become not so mushy!

Velocity Diet Day 1

May 1st, 2008 Mark No comments

I’m going to be doing the Velocity Diet for 28 days, starting today. For the first 2 days however I’m having my usual 4 whole eggs (scrambled) for breakfast as I don’t want to waste them and I don’t think it will be a problem.

Today’s Measurements (cold, not flexed):

Bicep: 15″
Calf: 17″
Thigh: 24″
Neck: 15.5″
Forearm: 12.75″
Waist: 36.5″
Lower Abs: 40″
Chest: 41″

Weight: 222lbs (15st 12lbs) / 100.7Kg

I’ve already done a full (upper) body workout at the gym today and will possibly do some light/medium cardio later on

edit: did 45mins steady state @1pm

Another afterthought: I’m not using Hot-Rox as per the original V-Diet

Just a quick post to let everyone know that CoopersGuns Health, Fitness & Bodybuilding Exercise Encyclopedia is now complete!

A flash app guides you through picking the muscle group you require exercises for and then links you to a page which contains a list of possible exercises, grouped by category

Once you select an exercise you are taken to a page which describes the exercise and shows you exactly how to perform it with the aid of a video of the exercise (flv flash video technology)

CoopersGuns Exercise Encyclopedia

June 7th, 2006 Mark No comments

We’ve recently added an Exercise Encyclopedia to CoopersGuns (health/fitness website I’m helping to develop)

I decided to use Flash video (flv) for the exercise videos – it seems to work quite well

Please not however that it’s not 100% complete yet as some of the videos are missing the accompanying textual descriptions
