My name is Alex. I am 5'9 and 165 lbs. I have been lifting weights for about four years now. I am a college student majoring in Exercise Science. I just started learning to skate to play ice hockey after playing baseball my whole life. I plan on joining a rec league over the summer then who...

Not sure how many people will actually be interested in this, but I'm making this log to keep myself honest and accountable. I played Football before, but quit before I really ever got my feet wet. Although I loved the game, and still do, I didn't have the motivation to push myself each and...

I used to run track in high school. My main events were the 100m and 4x100m relay, although I've competed in the 200m, long jump, high jump, and pole vault. I PB'ed in the 100m at 11.8 in my Junior year, and my 200m was 24.5, although I never actually trained for the 200. The farthest I've made it...

I don't expect anyone to read this, but welcome to my thread. During one of my basketball practices in my senior year of high school, my coach talked to the team while we were standing on the baseline. "None of you guys will ever play basketball again without paying money. This is it." ...

Hey everyone, Im new to this forum, this is something that I've been meaning to start for a while. I was wondering if someone could give me any thoughts on what I'm trying to do. Here is the post I made in the blog I started here: Apparently Im not allowed to post a link yet, so I'll copy...

So I'm a senior and planning on attending college in the USA next year, i'm still in the process of choosing colleges so i'm not certain if i'll be trying out for a DI, DII, or DIII rugby club but either way I'm dedicating this senior year (at least my free time between rugby and school) to...

Hey guys, I've recently finished my exams and am having a bit of a break from my typical game of basketball 5 days a week. I started the program a while back but recently took 2 weeks off as I went on holiday. I was quite worried that I would have lost some of my progress but in actual fact the...

Here is my back story, for those who care to read it: Year 1: 1999, Pop Warner My dad finally let me play football. I was 11, and organized football was new to me. I hated the work and the fact I sucked (relative to the experienced kids), but I worked hard and two games into the season I...

Alright, so I've pretty much been on almost a year long bulk/maintenance. I wanted to cut earlier, but never got into a strict routine where i could cut efficiently. But now is definitely time for me to cut. I may try out for college bball next year or may not, but nevertheless bball and...

Trained pretty hard at age 27 - 29, was full squatting 335, and had 29in standing vertical at ~20% body fat and 178 bw, so I'd probably get a good 33in standing vertical if I cut down to 10-12% bf. took a 3 year break from training, obviously gained a lot of fat, now going at it again. ...

Sup everyone, I'll be logging here since most of my training is geared towards basketball, but will be primarily powerlifting. My philosophy is that strength (especially lower body and core) plus skills is what defines an elite bball player. My workouts will consist primarily of squats (full),...

My plan is to be able get muscular mass and strength above normal players to so I can play American football and in two years, when I transfer to a university in the United States, I will be playing Baseball in this mean time, so I hope this trains helps me to get more strength in my hiting. ...

I always liked lifting but only really got into it and serious about it around the end of November of 2009 and i finally decided to post a log. I'm a senior in high school now so that means football is over for me in high school so i started focusing in on track as a sprinter. I had a really good...

Hello all, I figured that starting a log detailing my progress as I train for high level volleyball may not only be of interest to some people, but would also be a good way to motivate myself throughout the summer. Also, it gives a forum for me to get and give feedback concerning the sport,...

Right. I've been a first team prop for my university for 3 years. I'm getting a year placement next year and I want to lose the excess baggage. My aim is to return to university and play intramural rugby as a hooker (my original position). I plan on updating this every day with regards to my...
