So it has been one month (wow, that actually went by pretty quickly) since I started this Strength Rules workout program. Here is how I think it went.
So far, so good. I definitely feel stronger. I don't think I'll be doing any of those crazy calisthenics moves (muscle ups, human flags, etc...) for a bit, but I'm okay with that. The workouts, while still hard, seem more comfortable as I get used to doing the pushup and pullup movements. Dips are still an awkward one for me and I think they will just get more awkward when I get to doing single bar dips. But they are a necessary evil.
I am seeing some definition in my muscles - mainly in the chest and some in the biceps. I would have liked to see more in the shoulders, but that hopefully will come with time.
Not seeing my abs. I can definitely feel them when I tighten them up now, but my diet is not great so I don't expect them to pop out any time soon. I just like my crappy food too much. I am trying to limit myself to healthier stuff but I fall off the wagon way too often to expect my body fat percentage to drop low enough to get a six pack. At least for now.
All in all, happy with the progress. I'll post pictures soon with before and after to see if I can see a difference.
Now, back to working out.
