Introduction
If you are a regular reader of this site, you will probably know that I (foolishly) decided to take on the Maximuscle Blogger Challenge these past three months. For those who aren’t aware, I recommend you read the previous articles detailing my journey before you scroll down to see the end results:
- An introduction to the challenge.
- How I will achieve my goals through carbohydrate cycling.
- My halfway progress report.
- The Training routine I followed.

As I progressed through the project, I began to sub-consciously notice the same guys I had known all my life down the gym looking over more than usual, I was getting comments on the transformation I had made and from a personal viewpoint, I just looked and felt so much better. It really was all the motivation I needed in order to stick to the plan for such an extended period of time. As this project began to wind down in the lead up to Christmas, I decided to cut it short by a week, and finished on the 14th December 2012. This was for many reasons, but mainly due to the fact that I had a lot of events and parties coming up in the following weeks and I wanted to be able to truly enjoy myself, without feeling guilty about compromising my diet. Overall, the project lasted just under eleven weeks. Here are my final results and measurements…
