Oh man, here we go.
Stats:
26 years old
5???6???
138lbs
Target bf % 10% <--- Oh, geeez help me???.
My goals are to put on more muscle (how much, I don???t know). Once I get a tape measure I???ll set that goal.
Develop more strength (how much, I don???t know). I???ll know where I stand once I use this journal to start tracking my progress.
BF% target ??? Need to get calipers or scale ??? I???m leaning towards calipers.
To get an idea of what I???m going for check out picture ______. This is me three years ago but I had no idea what I was doing diet-wise. I just knew I wanted to be slim and have defined and not big muscles. No breakfast, just a salad for lunch and nothing until dinner which was always brown rice and some kind of sauted veggies or soup. I got the results that I was looking for but I was ALWAYS friggin??? hungry and it sucked ass.
About 3 months ago I started reading up on eating 6 meals a day, centering it around getting protein, and making sure I???m getting enough calories. It makes sends when I read it but when I look at the picture of me 3 years ago I wonder if I can get anything like that (plus muscles this time around).
So I got all excited, started eating 6 meals a day, even doing whey protein, which 6 months ago I would have thought was ridiculous. Anyway I began to see a dramatic change in how much I was able to lift. Stuff I was never able to lift with my puny muscles ??? I could lift.
Than I got overzealous and screwed my shoulder up. It???s been 2 months since then. It was a huge blow to the momentum I???d built up and I was reduced to doing legs a couple times a week. Utter misery and hell.
Now I???m easing back into arms, adding in stuff like chest press, incline press, bicep curls and stuff ??? still staying away from the stuff that puts all the weight on my left shoulder.
I hope this journal keeps me going and helps me be committed because sometimes I really feel like giving up waiting for my damn shoulder to heal because I can???t lift the way I want to lift.
I plan (keyword there) to be merciless in evaluating for myself. Hopefully anyone that reads my journal will be merciless in giving me good advice/critiques.
Baaaah! Anyway, here we go.
