Here we are after 50 days, with 10 days total of rest because of the stupid chab'it hawa (or "muscle inflammation/lesion" caused by air conditioning as different doctors call it).
Without further ado, here's the progress 10 days prior to the big night.
 |
| the extra weight training gave shaped to the shoulders pretty well, especially since the last 2 weeks with the heavy weights and low reps. |
 |
| NO. It's not blown up on purpose, stop saying that. We're on day 3 here and I'm trying to be as accurate as possible. Hey, check out the man boobs in the 1st one! :D |

| I CANT BELIEVE I WAS THAT FAT! Actually I also can't believe my back looks that slim :) |
 |
| Beard is still growing, I gotta trim it right when the time comes to get the Spartan shape |
 |
| A bit more muscular than week 5 because of higher weights and lower reps and obviously less cardio. |
 |
| same posture as 10 days ago yet 3 kgs lighter. Muscle mass remained because of the high protein intake, however, Fat dropped by lowering carbs and the caloric intake. |
I guess I should start also working on the costume now. I'll update you tomorrow on the plan. Gotta pull both off well to have a complete Leonidas.
I was thinking of attending the Donner Sang Compter fund raiser for Halloween. It's for a good cause, Yorgui Tayrouz has saved so many lives with his NGO, providing donors in case someone needs blood. He's definitely making a difference and I want to support him. Blood and Leonidas do go together don't they? Lame BAD joke! ARGH! I suggest you to do the same if you don't have anything planned. Actually guys, let's all meet up and really make something out of this Halloween night. I've been working on it for the past 53 days and would really love the culmination of all that effort to be one FANTASTIC NIGHT! I'd love it if you all showed dressed amazingly in any costume, as long as it's worked on and fun! (you could also come as Spartans so we can have ourselves an army. That would be friggin' awesome!
Let me know what you think.
I'm off! Lots to do between work, training, blogging and now the costume!? It's gonna be one hell of a stretch! No worries, I can handle it ;)
HAOUUUUU!

ReplyDeleteDear Michel,
ReplyDeleteI visited your blog a week ago and didn't stop reading. I'm on post 17 now and am still in awe with your determined spirit and unbreakable motivation. You pushed me to start training again. Hopefully I can be as strong willed as you are with your endeavor and follow your footsteps.
Don't stop training after Halloween, don't lose all you've worked on. My collegues at work and I are all following you and would love it if you kept writing.
You have indeed gained our Respect,
Take care my friend,
You deserve to called a Spartan.
