This is a short article but I just had to tell you about it. I just got done with an awesome 12 week body building program and I describe the full experience in its entirety (pictures, body stats, training log) here. I’m so happy with it because, believe it or not, I gained six pounds of LBM (lean body mass, basically muscle) in only 12 weeks.
As you can clearly tell from the pictures and my experience, lifting heavy weights has not made me “bulky.” If anything, it did great things for my body composition. I was able to gain 6 lbs of lean body mass with a negligible amount of fat gain.
In fact, my body fat percentage went down slightly! I hope you enjoy reading about my recent 12 week journey. I intend to take some time off (active rest) and get right back on another great program-and I will share my progress with you here.
I love writing about and sharing my own experiences on weight training. People assume I spend countless hours in the gym. Fact is, more than 1 hour in a gym is more than I can stand. If you are spending more time than that in there, you either work there (like I do) or you’re wasting time socializing.
Four times a week, for a total of 4 measly hours a week seemed to be enough stimulus to see results. You might even need less than that. We all have demands on our schedules (jobs and family!) and you don’t need to sacrifice it all to make it to the gym.
