Body Before and After 2 years of working out without proper knowledge

[sydneyelise]

@thomaslowrens Thanks! Havent officially tracked my gains but I have videos of my progresses on my instagram which is kind of a tracking.

 

[thomaslowrens]

@sydneyelise I always like seeing the starting and final strength levels in a progress post, but there is no doubt about the success of your physical progress.

 

[sydneyelise]

@thomaslowrens I see. Just curious. What kind of "tracking" are you interestsd in seeing from progress posts? Is it how many reps I could do for an exercise and how many I can do now? Or which progression I was at before and now I am at this progression? Or a combination of both? Or something else?

 

[thomaslowrens]

@sydneyelise How many reps of what progressions at the start and at the end is a good example.

 

[sydneyelise]

@thomaslowrens I see. I at least know those numbers for my pull ups / dips / handstands.

Pull up went from 0 to 12.
Dips from 6 to 25.
Handstand from 3s to 60s.

@sydneyelise Thanks, that's interesting to know, good luck with your training.

 

[sydneyelise]

@thomaslowrens Np. Thanks!

@sydneyelise The organization of how you explain everything is laid out so nice. And you've definitely put in a lot of work into yourself! And being Korean myself, I was surprised when my page loaded.

 

[sydneyelise]

@honet Haha thank you very much! Good to see a fellow korean here

@sydneyelise I feel you don't need proper knowledge if follow blindly RR. You will gain knowledge accordingly. Personal experience, I started reading strength training books, stretching books, to gain best workouts, stretches, best progression and finally I end up reading various books and doing nothing. Now I follow whatever mentioned in this thread. RR + BWF diet rules = Success

 

[sydneyelise]

@slash415 Yea that is certainly true. However, I would not have known if RR is really effective or is a workout that will help me reach my goals if I hadn't learned the basics of how strength/hypertrophy/endurance works. Also, I am a very curious person that I cannot focus on things I do not understand sufficiently. I still agree blindly following RR will be effective, though.

@sydneyelise not much difference for 2 years

 

[sydneyelise]

@hispoiema Yea. It's the consequence of working out suboptimally without proper knowledge and not meeting proper diets. That is one thing I want other beginners to learn from my post

@sydneyelise Your head still looks like dried mango

 

[dawn16]

@sydneyelise for 2 years. this is a very slow change.

 

[medic75]

@dawn16 Read the post

 

[dawn16]

@medic75 I did. I still don't know what YOU mean. Because he had the wrong exercises in his workout? Because he didn't raise his calorie intake month for month and didn't eat at least 0.8g Protein per LBS?

 

[medic75]

@dawn16 He admits over and over again he was winging it
