Since I have made the commitment to myself to start regularly posting here on my new site, I have decided to start this online diary. These posts give me the opportunity to pull back the curtain on my own personal fitness journey and show the world what I have been up to, and what I plan on doing.
This will allow me to personally track my progress overtime, and hopefully serve as some motivation for someone out there who is looking to make similar changes to their body composition. I plan on showing my weekly training book logs, my weekly calorie & macro targets, as well as progress photos. I am really excited about this as I feel it is going to give me motivation to be even more on point with my training & nutrition. I am really looking forward to what the next few weeks & months have in store.
Please feel free to share this or leave me any questions in the comments if you would like some more information as to what I share in these posts.
Without further ado, let's get into this thing!

Training Notes: First time in a while working with the chains on Bench Press so I underestimated on this upperbody day too. My lats were really sore this morning and I wasn't able to get in all the reps of pull ups in after the first set, so I broke it up this way.
Saturday - October 3rd: Plan on hitting some Delts & Core. This will be updated.
Sunday - October 4th: Planning on a ROMWOD, :45 Minute Walk, and getting some needed Rest!
