Jon will no longer be participating in project perfection secondary to some unrelated health issues.  We were honored to have the opportunity to work with him.  His progress over the first 6 weeks was incredible as seen by the photographs below.  Jon lost close to 9 percent bodyfat and approximately 17 pound.  These results were achieved through 6 weeks of adherence to the diet and exercise program.  Jon did not  cheat even 1 day.  Jon achieved these results all naturally, without any performance enhancing supplements.

As promised, here are the photographs of Carley’s progress. As noted below these pictures were taken at 6 week intervals.  Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen problems we will not performing a re-assessment this week.  Please enjoy the photos.  Stay tuned.

It is hard to believe six weeks have already gone by.  Today was the first of many reassessment days. Jon and Carley were weighed, had their percent body fat calculated, and had their circumferences throughout measured. We have also taken pictures. Unfortunately, Jon has requested we not post the before and after pictures yet. They will be posted after the next six week phase. The results were simply amazing.

They both lost weight with Carley losing two and a half pounds and Jon losing 17 pounds.  Jon dropped from 224 pounds to 207 pounds. His body fat dropped just under 9% from 16.46% to 7.47%. Carley lost Continue reading »

Everything is coming along nicely. Both Carley and Jon are progressing in their physique and strength. Their workout programs were reviewed this weekend. They are scheduled to have their measurements taken next week. Stay tuned.

Carley’s improvements are most noted in the upper body. When reviewing her program it was noted she is most comfortable with her upper body exercises and cardio activities. Her intensity was not as high as it should be for her lowers. Jon also shows his greatest improvements in his upper body. He refuses to unveil his abdominals until next week. Both of their workout programs are scheduled to be changed after next week. It looks like a second phase of hypertrophy activities are in store. Reps. And sets will be set to achieve the goals of the hypertrophy phase. Jennifer McDaniel is working closely with Carley and Jon to match their diets to meet the goals of their exercise program. Both feel her advice on nutrition has been quite helpful.

Next week is the moment of truth, reassessment! We look forward to seeing the results. Check back next week. Please feel free to send us your comments.

Phase I of the journey is over halfway done. Our athletes continue to see and feel changes in their physical appearance and condition. Carley had the opportunity to consult with our dietitian, Jennifer McDaniel, and some changes were made in her diet. The greatest change was increasing her daily caloric intake to 1700 calories a day. Carley was far below that at the start of this project. Jon continues to work diligently. The changes in his upper body are very noticeable. He has been working extra hard on his abdominals, but refuses to unveil them until reassessment.

New measurements will be taken at the end of six weeks and changes in their workout programs will be made accordingly. Both jon and Carley have been posting their experiences in their own words. Be sure to check them out. Please feel free to send us your comments or thoughts on Project Perfection 2010.
