runt

hi !

Here's the deal. I've always been a skinny runt. I used to play basketball for about 12 hours a day, but have done sweet fuck all for the last 4 years. 30's will be creeping up on me soon so I want to get in fantastic right shape now!

GOAL: body like Pitt in fight club, a little more muscle mass on chest.

I started a new diet today roughly consisting of:

60-70% lean protein
20-30% fibre,
10% fat (the healthy kind)

My goal right now is to load up on protein, try to build mass with gaining as little fat as possible. I really need to focus on my my back/legs the most, with a fair amount of work on my shoulders and chest. I plan on doing stomach almost daily, but kind of light, with cardio (interval training) every second day. Gym 6 days a week, 1 day rest.

This is the first time I've ever been on a good diet, and really dedicated myself to training, so I'm interested to see what I can accomplish. Hopefully this journal inspires me to keep it up. Maybe it will even inspire others :P

Take care.


Pictures taken this morning. Will try to update often. Any advice welcomed.
