Good luck, all.

My Day 1 is today and it took a long time figuring out my diet plan and choosing the right exercises. I have gone for:

Machine pull-over, Yates bent row, benchpress, close grip supinated pulldowns, weighted dips, leg press, leg extension.

Curious to know yours.

PS. What’s the software you use to keep track of your bodyfat?

I just finished my fourth workout using this protocol and it went REALLY well. I am actually amazing with how much my strength is increasing….given that my workouts are relatively short (40 minutes total….due to the 3 minute break betweeen each exercise) and infrequent (every four days)

I’m a fishitarian and need all the inspiration I can get.

The blog post on Ferriss’ blog isn’t very detailed.

Good luck!

If possible, please keep us updated on the foods you eat during the program, the calorie intake as well. (I’m vegan as well) and the type of exercises you are doing.

His plan seemed to be fairly high in saturated fat from the dairy, eggs and meat. I’m surprised his cholesterol dropped that low.

Good luck!
