Since I had a lot of tests and projects this week I did not progress in terms of research but I managed to hit a plate 35! Sadly I did not get the video. I keep forgetting to record these milestones. At the rate I am increasing my weight on lifts, I think I definitely will hit 2 plates by the end of the year. I went to the gym 4 times this week and hit pr for my chest and my legs. I continued with meal prep and my protein shake invention.
I also got in touch with the people I am training. Lucas is progressing at a good rate. He has the ability to increase weights on every exercise without hitting a plateau for a while. Jasmeet hit a pr on deadlift this week for a plate 25. I was looking into how to increase deadlift weight and a lot of it is confidence. That doesn't mean a 120 pounder can go lift 5 plates, but if a person is 25 pounds a weight they want to lift, then the person's mindset can really effect it. Larry wheels and the strongest man, Thor Bjornsson, have been lifting together recently for the world's strongest man competition and they said that if you feel you can do the lift, then there is a higher chance of lifting it. The reason why I believe this is because it happened to me this week. I was lifting 2 plates 15 for a single rep. I didn't think I could go higher but still tried anyways by trying to lift 2 plates 25. For the first attempt I couldn't even lift it off the ground. For my second attempt I was thinking that if my friend can do it I can do it too, so I put my music on and did it pretty easily. Here is the video with Larry and Hafthor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgWFW7Y10P0

I have really cooked consistently for myself. I can make myself the occasional meal but usually my mom prepares my food for me. In order to gain weight I have to eat consistent meals but this can sometimes be hard since my mother's schedule sometimes does not revolve around mine. Bodybuilders, weightlifters, and other athletes all use meal prep to their advantage. With meal prep I can achieve my goal of gaining muscle mass and it will help me learn a life skill of cooking. This week I started meal prep. On Sunday I cooked chicken breast, broccoli, asparagus, and brussel sprouts for the week. I made 4 meals which is fine because if I can get through the school week, I can just cook my own meals on the weekend because that is when I'm free. Here is a video of my meal prep: ![]()

I HIT A PLATE 25 FOR 3 REPS! It's incredible how much I have increased my strength over the past few months. I recently started going to the gym and now I am achieving milestones which take people years of practice and commitment. This project has been really beneficial because it allows me to take an in depth view at the nutrition, which is the most important part. This week I took progress report photos even though I forgot to take pictures in the beginning. Here is a photo of my back. Although I cannot provide any pictures of before, I can definitely notice improvements. My shoulders have become more defined and have increased in size. My lats have become more visible, and my forearms have almost doubled the size of my wrist. These results are very good. Continuing on I expect to notice more size development, and sadly, look less toned because of the bulking.
This week I just compiled all of the presentations, workout plans, and meal plans to show at the IDS fair, and came up with ideas of how I would present them. |
