Week 12 - The Finale5/15/2021 My Final ProgressThis is the final week of the project. This week I kind of got things together and ready to present my final project. I did workout once this week. I did quad extensions, shoulder press, and bench press. But since this week I am focusing on my final project, I will explain my final project. I will creating a google slides presentation with a video of my workouts I completed embedded in the slideshow. I think creating this slideshow will not be hard to do because I am going to make the slideshow simple so the audience can listen to me talk and not be distracted by the slides. The thing I am scared about is the time constraints on the presentation. I have to make it between six and eight minutes long, and I am worried my presentation will be longer or less than the limit. Hopefully I can go through the presentation a couple times before class so I am ready. My final numbers for this project are a weight of 142 pounds (goal was 145-150), 175 pound bench press (goal was 185), and 275 pound back squat (goal was 275). I am happy with these numbers considering I thought I would have a lot more time to workout than I did when I started the project. What did I get out of this project?I learned many things while going through this project. One of the biggest things I have realized is how hard it is to find time to workout while in baseball season. I practice everyday, so I have almost no time to workout. I realized that staying dedicated to a diet and workout plan for twelve straight weeks is very hard to do. I enjoy working out and I will go workout whenever I have time, but forcing myself to eat more than I wanted to was hard to do. I learned that it is a lot harder to gain weight than I thought it was going to be. I feel like I gained a lot of strength through working out, but I don't feel like I've gained a lot of weight while trying to eat more. Final ConclusionOverall, I feel like I did a great job with this project. I did as much as I could to get better during my baseball season. Practicing everyday has made it very hard to workout, but I worked out when I can. The biggest struggle I had was eating more so I can gain weight. I had a hard time eating when I didn't want to. I liked working out and gain muscle, but gaining weight wasn't that easy.
