So our intrepid getting-in-shape guinea pig (Cactus Chris) is almost at the half way mark of his twelve week body renovation program. And while he wasn’t fat to start with, he’s lost 5.5 kilos (12lbs) on the scales. He’s also gained some muscle along the way… which means that his fat loss (in weight) would be somewhere around 7kgs (15lbs) by now. His fitness and strength have gone through the roof and over the next six weeks we’re gonna tweak his diet a little, lift heavier and pack some quality muscle on him.
From a distance… all you’ll see will be his biceps.
Beefcake Chris.
Giddyup.
Here’s how he’s travelling:
Girth Measurements
Chest – plus 3cm
Waist – minus 10cm
Bicep – plus 1cm
Shoulders – plus 2cm
Skin-fold Measurements (millimetres fat)
Tricep – minus 7mm
Subscapular – minus 4mm
Thigh – minus 4mm
Abdominal – minus 15 mm
Supra Iliac – minus 14mm
Weight – minus 5.5kgs

Congratulations Chris. How difficult has the process been and what have you found most difficult, if anything?

Hi Chris,
well done Dude. Keep it up man, I can’t wait to see those guns!
Carson
Cactus, all you need to do is master “blue steel” and you could be a super-model!
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the encouragement. I would say the hardest part would be the diet. I must admit I have erred on the odd occasion (the odd piece of cheese, a couple of hot chips here and there), but I think I’ve been pretty good. I love food so it’s been tough. The fitness part of the process I have really enjoyed so even once the 12 weeks are up with Craig I’ll definitely keep the fitness regime going.
Hi Carson,
Thanks mate, and you’re not the only ones who can’t wait to see the guns. I’m looking forward to it as well!!!
Hi Greek Girl,
Even with the “blue steel” I’m a loooooong way from being a super-model. But thanks for pumping up my tyres, much appreciated.
Er Cactus…
nothing wrong with Greek Girls (we love them) but I think you’ll find your commenter was GEEK girl.
Er Craig…
Don’t make fun of the fact I’m illiterate! If having the piss taken out of me because of my body isn’t bad enough, now the whole world knows I can read properly! Thanks a lot…
P.S – Greek girls and geek’s are great. In fact, my favourite girls are geeky Greek’s!
Chris…
Keep up the awesome work! Looking Great! Feeling Better by the sounds of it.
Can I ask you, has the ‘horizon’ expanded for you some more in various areas of your life & what are they?
Cheers & hi-five
Carmon
