Became diet and nutrition conscious in May, 07 after I started reading these forums. Towards the end of August, 2007 - I began weight lifting. Prior to that I mainly just did cardio / walking / running. Noticed awesome weight loss with the introduction of weight lifting, and after learning a bit more about proper form and techniques - I began to enjoy lifting more than cardio.

When I was in High School, I weighed 250lbs and wore a size 44+ pant. I was insanely depressed and had no confidence. After lots of work - I am to where I am now. My confidence and motivation in life has skyrocketed, but I still have a long way to go.

Lately, I've introduced cardio conditioning to my workout - complexes and plyometric / body weight type of routines. These are usually done intra or post weights. I have no formal 'fighting / boxing / MAA' training, but I want to start eventually. Because of this, I try to gear my workout routine towards helping me with this goal in the future.

Excellent choice.

[derickonfire]

Welcome you guys!

... Had sound down - just turned it up...

Hahahah, have you learned to mute the sound before watching any of my videos? =P

[CYTX]

Dude WTF, chalk is like $2 for a huge block.

Edit bb.com sells 8 blocks for $9, 1 block would last you a long time since you would use it sparingly, go get the change from your car and head to academy and get some chalk, LOL
