Just had my first PE session.

Just had my first PE session this afternoon on my lunch break. It felt great, started off with the Newbie routine. Thinking of doing this for the next 6 weeks, and then going to change it up. From the people that have done this routine, have you noticed any significant changes by 2 months? I’ll be going home in 11 weeks, and would like to surprise my girlfriend with the changes.

Is there an appropriate place on this forum to keep a log/journal of exercises and growth changes. Secondly, which moderator would I have to message if I wanted a name change? Thanks everybody.

Good effort! Why change your routine in 6 weeks’ time? You may never need to change it if you keep profitting from the newbie routine.

Some people notice change very quickly, and some don’t. But it doesn’t take a lot to be noticed! :)

There is a Progress Reports/ Personal Routines sub forum for keeping such a log.

Thanks for the post. Yeah, we’ll see what goes. If I notice changes are happening, I’m just afraid of a plateau occurring. Muscle memory will kick in for sure, and will just cause an arrest in development. All in due time, I would say. I just wish I took PE more seriously. I signed up on this site back in 2007, I should’ve been more proactive about it, I can’t imagine the amount of improvement I would’ve made in the past 4 years.

It took me 4 years after signing up to actually start a real routine, so you might be on the same schedule.

You might see results in that time period if 1) you measure consistently and 2) you stay consistent in your routine.

Don’t quit the newbie routine until you have to. I’ve been doing it for 3 years off and on and still gaining from it.

A moderator should be able to change your name. If one speaks up here, send them a PM. Otherwise, pick on to PM and include the details.

Stay safe!
