2009: No excuses

SettleForNothin · 03-26-2009, 09:31 PM

I will add my first workout entry tommorow. I will be tracking my calories and workouts in this journal.

I lift 4 times a week and am currently using 5x5, although I might change things up a little bit soon.

Finished in about 25 minutes, kinda half assed it. My goal right now is to lose some fat but I gotta keep lifting hard too.

And since I didn't really explain myself in the opening post, I'll do it here. I used to weigh 310lbs, I've gotten down to 220lbs and I'm dealing with a little loose skin and remaining fat around my abdomen. The goal in this journal is to shed the extra fat and get stronger in the process. When I was 310lbs, I was stronger as I lifted for football. I could max 300 bench and Squat 405. My numbers are lower now as I lost some muscle along with fat. I think muscle memory should help me out a lot.
