Hey everyone!
I decided to finally put up a log. If not for me, for someone else to get some motivation. I may not help everyone, but if I help at least one person than a job well done!
About me:
My name's Trevor, I am 22yr old healthy adult male, currently living in KansasCity, KS. Olathe to be exact. Going to school on scholarship to be a music major (i'm told i can sing, lol).
I've been working out since I graduated highschool in 2003. I was a pretty fat kid, 5'6" @ 210-220; not to mention just a big frame. I lost 60lbs in just about 2 months, in a pretty unsafe manner (anorexia + lifting). I wasn't fat anymore, in fact I was actually in pretty good shape...
Either way, I didn't stay that way for long.
I LOVED lifting weights, and little did I know that if I actually had adequate nutrition I would just blow up! I can gain muscle by just looking at weights, but I also can gain fat even easier. Being Half-Hawaiian and Half-German has its +'s and -'s.
So, I gained a lot of muscle and an even bigger amount of fat. I had no clue about proper diet. I just knew that if I ate everything in sight I got really strong and really big. So, I was sitting at 200lbs this time, not
all fat. lol
Once again, I lost weight, not thru anorexia this time, just less food. lol Didn't work as expected.
This was a *rinse and repeat* thing for me up until a couple years ago when I found these forums and learned everything I needed to know... Diet, Training, and most importantly Misc.'ing.
Well, lets just say I reached my goals. BUT, due to a bad Motorcycle Accident and being layed up in a bed for months I'm not in the greatest shape anymore.
GOAL:
1) Be 175lbs @ 6-8% BF all while keeping a shapely, pleasing physique.
2) Deadlift 600 (hey, its a goal!)
3) Bring up my lagging parts aka Chest.
STATS:
5'6" 186lbs currently
BF - Somewhere around 13-14% My fat stores on my stomach.
TRAINING:
I never max out, and I probably never will. Here's just some current weight stats.
Deadlifts - 375x6
BenchPress - 255x6
Squat - 325x5
I do a LOT of compound movements followed by Isolation exercises. I also workout a lot of my bodyparts 2x a week. Every 4 days for BIG groups, and every 3 days for smaller muscles, IF I feel like they need some extra stimulation.
After a long time of doing this, and overtraining a couple of times, I can feel when to let my body rest, and when I can work it harder.
DIET:
I'm KETO'ing right now. Maintenance Cals. 1.2protein per lbm, under 30g Carbs a day. The rest is good fats. I'm not going to post up my diet. If I see the need to, then I will.
*note* You will most likely hear me talk about how I almost lose my mind when Candy cravings hit me.
WHY:
1) I HATE... let me repeat HATE to fail. When I set a goal, I reach it. No if's, and's, or but's!
2) I believe that if you say you are going to do something, DO IT!
3) The most important reason: I believe to be a Christian you need to be 110% Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually. I believe our bodies are not ours, and that we need to take care of them. They are a Temple.
I hope this log will help others in their journey to being healthy and fit!
*starts tomorrow*
) and charged me $30. Thankfully they cracked me today. Doc told me 2 more times this week followed by every 3 days for the next month...
