So last week we all met ‘Cactus’ Chris Couch in my post, From Couch Potato to Olympian.
In seven fun-filled (painful) days, he’s jumped, punched, ridden, run, rowed, climbed, skipped, lifted and sweated his way to some pretty good results.
I gave him plenty.. and he has stepped up to the plate.
He’s trained about an hour each day, with lots of variety and a gradual increase in intensity and has modified his diet accordingly.
Let’s take a look at his results a week into his twelve-week journey.
Girth Measurements (difference since initial measurements)
Shoulders + 1 cm 
Chest + 2cm
Waist -3.5cm
Thigh no change
Calf no change
Skinfold measurements
Tricep -3mm
Bicep -0.5mm
Subscapular no change
Pectoral -3mm
Abdomen -3mm
Suprailiac -5mm
Thigh – no change
Weight -3.0 kilos / 6.6lbs
One week down, eleven to go.
Fantastic work Cactus… keep it up.

Great progress. Ah the benefits of being a beginner. As a fitness enthusiast I’m looking forward to the coming weeks.
Coooooorrrrrrr! Excellent work.
Yes… our boy is going okay, isn’t he?
Keep watching… he’ll be a freak in no time!
Hi Mark,
I know I’m going to find it increasingly tough in the next few weeks when the “honeymoon” period is over! But there’s no turning back now…
Hi Craig and Cactus,
Cactus, just make sure you don’t get too beautiful that it overshadows your personality, which shines through in the photos.
Good luck!
