Stage 1 is finished! My strength gains were pretty good.

Squat:
+ 25 pounds
Pushup:
-15 degree incline
Seated Row:
+12.5 pounds
Step-up: (I switched benches so this isn't really comparable)
+10 pounds
Deadlift:
+60 pounds
Dumbell Shoulder Press
+10 pounds
Wide-grip lat pulldown:
+17.5 pounds
Lunge:
+10 pounds


I lost an "inch" on my waist and an "inch" on my hips. The rest of my measurements are the same. I'm not 100% convinced that these are true measurements, but I think I am seeing improvement nonetheless. I'm really excited for stage 2!!!

    Also, I don't think it is a coincidence that 2 separate people have told me that I look "taller" since starting starting the program. I think it is because my posture has improved a lot which also does wonders for how my clothes look etc.

    way to go! I think your thighs look alot thinner (even if the measurements don't show it, look at the photos... measuring your thights is so hard to get "right"), and your waist is definitely more narrow. great work!
