SkinnyDip's quest
Intro
I want to start a journal to help keep me motivated (even though I am) and to track progess and get tips from everyone. Feel free to subscribe, leave notes, and post criticism.
Background
5' 10"s roughly 245 right now. BF unknown.
History
Was extremely skinny and short up until I was 13, 5 ft 1-2 inches. 80 lbs. Family problems, and unhealthy diet lead me to gain 50lbs, stacked it on consistantly. Highest recorded weight was 280 last July, I dieted incorrectly down to 250, jumped back up to 268ish. It was then I decided to get a gym membership and do it correctly. Novemeber 4th I started doing only cardio, did 1 hour 5 days a week, and got down to 250 by late December, that was when I started to lurk here and read about diets and working out. Today Feb, 19th I am 242.5 on last weigh in.
Workout
Pretty mapped out rotation, not the same thing every monday, but usually every three days. Take days off days off as needed. Cardio usually 4 times per week post workout, 25-30 minutes on treadmill or elliptical.
Monday- Chest, Triceps
Tues, Shoulders, Traps
Wed- Biceps and Back/Forearms
Thurs- Repeat Monday (Different workouts)
Friday- Repeat Tues
Saturday- Repeat Wed

Goals
Target weight not important, I have put it in the 180-200 range, but as long as I am healthy and lower BF I will be content. I have noticed steady increase in my gains as far as my exercises.For example gained over 30lbs on my max bench 1RM, 25 in curls, and squats are fairly weak still, 1 plate per side. Since I started here, I have lost inches in some spots, such as thighs, face, neck, chest, not so much in the stomach area though. Thanks for the space and comments.
