Hi there people!

I've just started Arnel's program on last Monday, so I'm a freshman

I'm 23 years old, 84 Kg (185 pounds) and 172cm (5.64 feet).

Today I've just finished second day of routine...and altough pain is bigger than in day one, I'm not as tired as I were in first day!

I'll keep you updated, and...GOOD LUCK to us all

Hey Xavier!

First off - Welcome to the community! You have come to the right place for support and motivation - the memebers here are great and between everyone we know a hell of a lot about fitness so if you have any questions on anything dont hesitate to ask.

Secondly - Work hard and push to the limit! Just to let you know a few of the members are also doing Arnels '300' workouts every 10 days along side the 16 (or 12) week challenge. Today was the first 300 workout we did - let me tell you it is not for the faint hearted! The next one is on the 9th Feb, in the General Discussion Forum there are more details if you are interested!

Keep it real bro!

Sean

Thanks for the welcome, Sean!

After I done the 300 the first time...6 weeks from now...and I can confirm I will survive ...then I might also join you!

Until then...I'm happy I can do all the necessary reps every training day

Hi Xavier, welcome to the forum. Like Sean said you’re in the right place, the guys on here have really helped me a lot both technically and mentally, and the results do come. If you want some motivation just look at some of the end of week 2 pictures on the blogs, what people have achieved in just to weeks is fantastic. Just put in the work and the results will speak for them selves.

Just do it
Pete.

Sup (again) Xavi,

Welcome aboard. If there is anything I can do in order to help you out, let me know.. As Pete and Sean have already said, people here are fantastic..! - I'm thinking of them every time Ms. Fatigue is whispering in my ear, so of course I tell her to: "Fuck off!" - No one can stop me from getting that 6-pack.. NO ONE!

I hope you feel the same way, champ..

Stay strong - and hit it hard!

Danny

Thanks Pete T and Danny


If there anything I can help anyone around here...just tell me


I know I'll be another success on achieving a better body and mind

As some of u say:

"PAIN IS ONLY WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY"

YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!


I FEEL GOOD

Just finished my 3rd day of resistance training...so one mor HIIT to end 1st week...and yeeahhh....I FEEL GOOD!


I f*c***g TIRED, in PAIN....but I FEEL GOOD!!!

I feel my body responding to the "punishment" already...and today...on my last set...I didn't make 45 sec plank...I did it 55!!

CAN'T WAIT FOR WEEK 2

Hey Xavi!

Nicely done bro! Its great to know that your loving it!
That also happened to me on my first week. Day1 for me sucked and i didnt complete most of the reps. By friday that same week i did everything nicely and without feeling extra tired. I think thats a wonderfull feeling.

Get ready for week2 bro, its hell... but you'll LOVE IT!!!

Manny is right.. Week 2 is hard, but once you've completed it, you're gonna be all set for the comming weeks..

Take absolutely no prisoners, Xavi..

Lol week 2 was fun. I let one of my college mates do it with me on a friday and blitz through the sets by the end he was screaming I cant feel my legs, now though he's doing the routine at his and as manny and danny say it gets so much easier.

Today for example I couldnt stop doing press ups in the week 4 routine but in week 1 I found them near impossible. Just remember the nutrition is the key ingredient.

Sounds like your doing well though just think week 2 already.

Just finished 1st day of 2nd week....

Did I get exausted with today's training??YEAHH, SURE!!

But once more..I liked it a lot...my legs we're really tired in the end of it..but..I'm starting to see some differences on my body!

When I get to the end of this week, I'll take some pictures...!


Oh...and lost already 2.20 lbs...not too much...but I think I couldn't expect more in just one week

Hi Xavi,
Week 2 is a tough week especially on the legs, but stick with it, and the results will be there at the end. Get some photos done so you can compare them, and SEE the progress.
Keep up the good work we’re all behind you.

Just do it
Pete

Yeahhh....finished 2nd week today....and so I decided to bring you the latest updates and pictures of myself...so you can see my progress, and for the newcomers....this WORKS!

I'm now with 180 lbs






The diference between the Begining...and now!
