Side by side comparison:
*UPDATE 9/7/11*
Last night I took the boys to the gym to get some baseline strength statistics so we have something to compare to at the end to get an accurate measurement of strength gains.. We determined their 1 rep max for the following exercises: bench press, dead lift, military press, and squat. Here’s what we got:
and in numeric form:
| 1 Rep Max (lbs) 9/7/11 | ||
| Exercise | McConnell | Struck |
| Bench Press | 345 | 204 |
| Deadlift | 298 | 268 |
| Military Press | 198 | 153 |
| Squat | 240 | 247 |
*UPDATE 9/8/11*
Today (9/8/11) wrapped up all the pre-tests for our experiment. I had the gentlemen run a timed 2 mile so we can gauge their cardiovascular progress. The results: Matt McConnell came in at 15:20.00 and Matt Struck finished at 14:10.00.
Now that we have all of our preliminary data, we are moving onto the experimental phase of the study. So keep checking back to watch our results day by day!
