Same Story..One More Chapter~Big Cruz

[bigcruz]

Hey All, Im back at it to give it another go. Im 27 and have been lifting on and off for several years now. I kept a journal here several years ago and it really helped me stay on track. On my last journal I made some great gains and got in relatively good shape. However I lost interest and did some MMA training for a while, then lost interest in that as well lol. I have been doing some boxing training which I really enjoy however I really started missing the lifting so here I am again.

My goal is to simply get back in my lifting shape.

I started today with some light chest to get my body back into action
