Hey guys, I always had this "I need to start working out", "I will be fit" thing since the beginning of high school but it took me until I became 24 to actually start. I did achieve significant results by running and doing something called GAPS diet but I couldn't sustain it and in about 1.5...

I can't go back to the orthopedic surgeon I've seen twice in good faith for this because I refuse to go for a third surgery.

This is a log/journal for 2 marathons really. Trying to qualify for Boston by running the Cape Cod Marathon (Oct 30th) and then hopefully running Boston after. The 2012 race will probably be filled by the time this one is run, so it would have to be for 2013. Cape Cod is supposed to be a beast...

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. ...

Figured I would make one of these, just to keep things on track and organized. Currently approaching my off-season for rugby, planning on getting faster while either maintaining my strength or gaining some. I'm playing hooker right now, but switch off at prop sometimes (a smaller prop lol) ...

I just recently started Brandon Todd's FlytRight training program, so I figured I would post a log here. I love playing basketball. It's been a dream of mine, since high school, to be able to dunk, and dunk well. That's one reason for my training, another being to improve overall athleticism....
