My Body Transformation
Posted by Gain Muscle Mass on Feb 27, 2010 in My Body Transformation | 14 comments
I just wanted to write a quick post letting everybody know that I’m going to be adding a new section to the blog called My Body Transformation. For a few weeks now, I’ve been posting a daily training journal entry to the gain-muscle-workout-less.com blog detailing everything from my nutritional approach to my bodybuilding workouts as I work my way through a 12 week “body transformation” training cycle.
I’ve decided to move the training journal posts over to gainmusclemasshelp.com’s blog in order to work around an issue with the other blogs rss feed. My hope is that by moving the body transformation posts over to this site, everyone will be able to subscribe to the feed in any reader they choose and get immediate access to all of the awesome information that I’ve been covering with these training posts.
It’s a lot to take in, but if you pay attention to what I’m saying each day, you’ll have a very good idea of what it really takes to burn fat, build muscle mass and completely transform your body in only 12 weeks – 100% naturally! I’m laying it all on the line here and opening up my personal training diary for 12 full weeks and posting each and every bodybuilding workout that I take on, complete with a few words about how I felt each workout went and why.
If you’re not sure how to burn fat or build muscle, then you need to pay attention to this section of the blog and get a handle on what really matters when it comes to building muscle and burning off fat. Just start out on day 1 and work your way through the program , if you’re paying attention to what I’m doing (and eating) each day and you actually implement the tips along the way, you’ll have no choice but to achieve similar results to what I’m currently achieving with my body transformation!
My Body Transformation Goals
Currently, I’m at day 30 of an intense 12 week body transformation training cycle in which I’m trying to…
- Gain 25lbs of lean body mass
- Lower my body fat level from 23.2% to 8%
- Increase the size of my arms by 2 inches
- Increase the size of my legs by 3 inches
- Get killer six pack abs
- Really focus on building up the muscle in my back
My main goal ahead of even the 6 listed above is to completely blow the results that I got while competing in the EAS Body For Life Challenge (check out the picture at the top of this post) over 10 years ago out of the water. While I felt that I had achieved an amazing body transformation at the time, I have a lot more knowledge and ambition now, so I know I’ll be able to get even better results this time around.
My Current Body Transformation Results
So far, I’ve been able to achieve some pretty awesome results. At the end of my week 4 training cycle I had…
- Lowered My Overall Body Fat Levels By 8.4%!
- Increased My Lean Body Mass By 10.6 lbs!
- And Melted Off 17.6 lbs of Nasty Body Fat!
I just wrapped up week 5 of my body transformation and I plan on getting all caught up on the weeks journal entries (here on this blog) by the end of tomorrow at the latest. If you want to check out all of the journal entries and bodybuilding workouts to date, you’ll have to read them over at the GainMuscleWorkoutLess.com blog:

I really hope that moving all of my body transformation journal entries over to this blog allows more people to get access to this life changing information.
I want to make some contribute to http://www.gainmusclemasshelp.com
Great journey and experience!
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Great article! I just bookmarked it.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
very informativearticles out
Can I just say what a reduction to seek out somebody who truly knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You positively know the way to bring a problem to mild and make it important. Extra people have to learn this and perceive this facet of the story. I cant consider youre not more popular because you undoubtedly have the gift.
