Mind-Body Mike’s BodyBlog

This is my first blog ever.  I thought I’d write a little about how I got started lifting more and the progress I’ve seen so far.

I started working at BBcom in May 2007.  Working here was my number 1 motivation to try to put on some muscle!  Its great working here with people who are dedicated to fitness and health and talking to customers who are dedicated and have alot of advice and encouragement to share!  I have always been lean and really liked cardio activity.  I am a runner and I mountain bike.  I have always gone to the gym and done a little lifting but I never made much in the way of muscle gains.

I started going to the gym more seriously in July ‘07.  I made two big changes, #1 I started to really focus on lifting; I cut out most of the cardio and started to challenge myself on the weights.  The second change I made was using the right supplements!  Adding plenty of protein and a good pre and post workout formula worked wonders for me. 

When I started in July I weighed 150lbs, now I am up to almost 170lbs.  I still have my abs, so i guess it is mostly muscle gain.  My original goal was to reach 175 in six months. I didnt make my goal in time, but I should be there soon.
