Today, I measured and am very pleased to report the following results after one month of following the "Beginner Program" listed in the PE main pages. I hope to post (minimally) monthly updates on "Phase 1 / 2" of my goals:
- BPFSL = 6.500" (+/- ~1/32)
- BPEL = 6.250"
- NBPEL = 6.125" !!
- EG = 4.750 (5.000" at base!)
ALL measurements were taken in the standing, upright position as before in the a.m. at R/A temp. (~74*F) with the original measuring equipment (in same condition[s]) used in initial measuring. EQ was 99%+ for
ALL "erect" measurements.
I am a little surprised that BPSL did not really increase more and would like some input/ideas about this result (i.e. - casues, effects, physiological implications, etc...). I also have the same reaction(s) to the EG measurement especially considering that just visually, things "look" larger (FL not measured).
I am contemplating taling a 9-10day break from the program to verify results (will try to measure at least 2X), but I would like some suggestions in this area.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: As I have stated above, I am !!!very pleased!!! with these results and have a positive outlook on this PE process and future endvors in it.
Last Note: To any and all beginners out there. DO NOT get overly zealous in your program and try to push beyond safety limits when starting out. Just think about it, you have time, so go slow and forward, not overdoing it and suffering injury, I persoanally believe just from my experience in this short 4weeks that it is well worth taking your time to do thing the right way and learn the techniques. And GOOD LUCK!! in your journey.
