F1's Fruitarian Gut Busting Journal

[Fruitarian One]

Here's some update photo's taken recently....

I've been doing exclusivly body weight training for about 5-7 months now and my knowledge of various exercises is pretty limited BUT getting better as I feel my way around...It's been a tough learning curve because I've pretty much been doing this by myself from the get go until now....I started out with a Body weight routine I found from a body building site...the routine really appealed to my nature and I've stuck to it ever sinse....I'm really happy with the results...I love the thought of building up my reps as this has given me results I've never got before....I'm currently looking to build my own routine from scratch so I can have something to go to every other month....just to change things up a bit....I love to just get out there and push myself...I think that's why I love Body weight stuff so much....

You can check out my journal for my workouts and as for diet I think most of you know that I'm a Fruitarian, this may seem odd to some of you but it really isn't a subject that is up for debate as far as I'm concerned as I would rather concentrate on the training side of things.(I'm not much into debates) :wink:

I looked into bodyweight stuff because I felt too dependant on equipment and regular weights weren't feeling natural to me I also wasn't getting the results I felt I should have after doing it for so many years....plus I think the BIGGEST reason was that I simply couldn't justify gym membership fee's!!!!!

Anyway I hope that gave you some good background info...

See ya soon.. 8)

Well I have no problem with an exclusive bodyweight workout. Personally I couldnt do without weights, but thats just me. But as far as your workouts they look pretty good.

 

[Fruitarian One]

Thanks buddy....We just gotta do what works for us!

Have a great work out!

It's refreshing to see someone getting results from a true BW program.
I have done a lot of body weight stuff in the past but now I do a mix of weights and BW stuff.
Are the squats that you do flat footed or are they hindu squats?
Do you every do things like pistols (one legged squats)? And 2000 + calf raises?? is that one legged or two?
Have you made many gains with your program? Your upper body looks good but what about your legs?
Welcome to the board

Damn, how long do those workouts take?

 

[kenwood]

why do you have tattoos? why not join a gym?

I don't keep stats!

I've grown muscle but lost a lot of fat and retained water so I don't look any bigger...just more toned

Interesting way of going about things. I don't think I could ever do strictly a bodyweight program, but your pushups and dips certainly are impressive rep wise. It looks like you're having good success with such a program.

I've also never heard of a Fruitarian... I could never go without my steak, chicken & salmon!

Cool stuff. I suggest you add some bodyweight rows into your routine.
