Jeremy @ EliteEternity’s recent post is about a challenge he has made with his Sister and Brother. They are both trying to lose 1 lb per week, for 10 weeks. Well, rather than lose 10 lbs, I’m going to sort of do the opposite of them. I’m going to try to gain 10 lbs! It probably wont work out that great, but there is only one way to find out.
I plan on lifting weights for 2 hours every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. In addition to this, I will do intense cardio every Tuesday and Thursday evening. I will also try to sneak in a few mild runs each weak. I will be eating healthy – Fruits, Vegetables, Cereal (fat-free milk, but most of the time just dry… I can’t eat lactose without taking a lactase pill, and that gets annoying) and Pasta. I will also have one Protein Shake a day.
Today was day 1. Lifted weights for a couple hours from 7am-9, then went running for about an hour at the park. I ran a sweet 7.34 miles — non-stop. Here’s my evidence: (direct link)
I accidentally forgot to weigh myself before I started the day, but I did immediately after pounding down a liter of water after the run. I weighed in at a cool 172 lbs. This should be easy. If everything goes well, I should weigh the EXACT SAME as Jeremy after 10 weeks. But I have high hopes for him, he’ll probably get down to 175 with ease.
lol nathat. i dont think its very funny that you think you are going to gain 10 lbs while we are all trying to lose it. at least you are trying to gain muscle though, right? sounds like we have a challenge now!
