my journey
The people who visit this site know that I just moved back to Virginia. I’m excited to be back, but definitely made lifelong friends in Ohio whom I miss dearly. My path was lost in Ohio with working out, I became inconsistent, lazy, depressed, and could not dig myself out of the hole I was in. In Virginia I’ve had a breath of new life with a new job, some time off to clear my mind, and the reality check that I really am as out of shape as I thought I was. Anways with all that being said, I’m teaming up with my good friend Eugene to get back to my old self as far as strength goes, and also to get to a body fat at which I can be healthy and comfortable (so I won’t baloon up again). These first 4 weeks are aimed at merely getting me back in the hunt for some of my previous strength levels and endurance levels along with my body fat. To get around 70-80 percent of where I was 2 years ago would be acceptable after these first 4 weeks. I am not going to weigh myself at all this month, just pictures each wednesday. I’ll be posting the workouts here, probably in clumps of a couple of days. With that being said, let’s begin shall we?

-Pullups: 5×6
-Dips: 5×6

I superset the pullups and dips with the squats. Squats then pullups, squats then dips….etc.

I’ll probably walk a mile tonight or so just to get out of the house.
