Day 1 - The Challenge Has Begun!

Posted by Daiyaan under Daiyaan's Progress

Day 1 FrontThe challenge has finally begun! WOOHOO! Today I started my new diet and did my first workout. It’s been a really challenging day, trying to keep calorie intake on the high and really working out hard. Everything has been multiplied to the max! Drinking at least 3 litres of water, eating foods with high amounts of protein, etc, etc, you know the rest. Hopefully it’s something I’ll get used to over time and keeping a routine will become second nature.

So as you can see from the picture, I am already ridiculously hench, comparable to Arnie’s good days. I’m actually just looking to tone up a bit. No seriously, I think I may have been born with the worst genes in my year group. Hopefully, genes won’t be able to stop me on my journey. I took the picture before eating and drinking in the afternoon and before my workout so you won’t be mislead by a “pump”. I also took my body composition reading at the same time to ensure accurate results. I will take the reading at the same time every day. As I accurately remeasured my height, the fat percentage will be higher as I am half an inch shorter.

Here are my stats:

  • HEIGHT - 5 feet 11 inches / 181 cm ( corrected from yesterday)
  • WEIGHT - 60.2 kg / 132 lbs
  • BODY FAT % - 8.0
  • BODY WATER % - 63.8
  • MUSCLE MASS - 52.5 kg / 115.8 lbs (Physical Rating - 7 - Thin)
  • BONE MASS - 2.8 kg / 6.2 lbs
  • MINIMUM ENERGY REQUIRED (BMR) - 1650 kcal / 6904 kJ
  • METABOLIC AGE - 12 :(
  • VISCERAL FAT RATING - 1 (out of a possible 59 - I have the lowest possible rating)

AND, I also took my muscle size readings using a tape measure. All measurements are girth measurements. Here they are:

  • CHEST - 33″
  • WAIST - 30″
  • HIPS - 33″
  • SHOULDERS - 40″
  • RIGHT BICEP (relaxed) - 9.5″
  • RIGHT BICEP (flexed) - 11″
  • NECK - 15″
  • RIGHT CALF - 13″
  • UPPER THIGH - 19.5″

So there you have it, all of my stats right in your face for you to look at and admire. Tomorrow thankfully is a resting day, no workouts but still, EATING AND DRINKING TO THE MAX! I did take some posey photos aswell today, I will have to post them tomorrow as it is extremely late here in London and I can barely keep my eyes open. Until then, see ya!

    You should learn to do heavy, high rep breathing squats, it is the closest thing to a miracle exercise for gaining weight and building muscle mass for hardgainers. http://www.hardgainers-weight-tips.com
