Just a photo of the leg press which I have been doing... My 1RM have improved by quite a sum, but my weight, percentage body fat, and thigh lean mass remains pretty much the same... Not exactly what the researchers are hoping for... =P With this, my free gym session are up! Now I need to get myself a gym membership till I get back to Singapore...Had 2 muscle biopsy done today... 1 before and 1 after the training session... I remember my body going into mild shock after the first biopsy at week 1... But today's biopsy after 8 weeks were after-effectless... No dizziness... No weakness... Nothing... Perhaps my body is now used to the idea of getting speared! =x Stab me! Stab me! I want to say again that the muscle biopsy is less painful compared to the usual vaccum blood sampling test and finger prick blood sampling test... Sure it looks awful... But it's really very bearable!
And so today we present... A video of the muscle biopsy being done on me... Ta-da! Thanks to Dr Anthony Blazevich for filming permission and commentary, and thanks to the Brazilian researcher whose name I did not ask for filming...
Also available for you sick sick guys out there! A higher-res version of the same video...
