A little Background...

A little blurb about me.

While growing up I always looked up to the muscle bound hulks in the movies, Arnold, Sly, Van Damme. These guys, to me, were larger than life both physically and charismatically. Seeing these giants onscreen I always envisioned myself becoming the best I could be physically. In High School I wrestled at 125 weight class, I lost about 5 lbs to get to that weight and did OK at the sport. What I did realize is that I had somewhat of a genetic gift, I grew a muscular physique pretty fast outside of high school with some hard work and a horrible diet (That didn't come till later). My passion for sculpting my body was born. Fast forward 10 years later. I am now 200lbs and at about 18% Bodyfat. (Progress pictures to come) I've definitely gained and maintained a lot of muscle over the years and have dedicated myself to learning as much as I can about bodybuilding and physical fitness.

The purpose of this blog is going to morph over time, I know that already. I would like to start this blog as a fitness log complete with progess pics. My goal is simple: shed about 8% of my bodyfat (or 16 lbs) realistically over the next 4 months while maintaining as much muscle mass as possible, all if I can. I've done the cut and bulk phases before. This time I will be keeping a detailed log of my diet, workout description, and a paragraph or so about how I'm feeling about the progress I'm making and what I may or may not change. I'm creating this blog as a vehicle to keep myself accountable and possible learn something new in the process. As a side effect hopefully I'm providing someone new to the bodybuilding community with some information to keep them determined and motivated.

I hope to update this Blog 1-3 times a week starting January 2nd.
