2008 - Time to Kick Some More Ass
Well, I`m back from my Xmas/New Years Holiday and its a New year. It is time to start eating fully clean again and take my body to a new level of awesome. I am currently about to begin my third week of my 6-week 20 rep squat program. Reading this sounds like I actually took a break from the gym but I didn’t. I was in there whenever it was open, which is a personal triumph for me considering last year I was just sitting around eating junk. So, the 1st 2 weeks of the program have been pretty good. I definitely see and feel like I put on some size. Its obviously not much, but this program seems to be slowly working. I started at 215lbs -20 rep squat and am up to 220lbs. I have also increased the weight in every other movement I have been doing. I would have made much more progress if I had managed to eat clean all through these passed 3 weeks, but that didn`t happen so its time to get back on the wagon and get it done. Funny enough, while I have definitely gained weight, I actually lost a half an inch in my waist. Go figure. What is clearly a first for me is that I`m not upset or worried that I have gained some weight. I would be freaking out right now, but I see the weight gain now as a necessary thing in order for me to gain the muscle I want. I have a goal and in order for me to achieve that goal, certain things have to happen. If I have to gain a little weight in the process then so be it, but I know that I can and will lose the body fat. This year IS the year that the shirt comes off at the beach and pretty much any hot environment that I`m at. I WILL be able to look in the mirror and BE proud of what is staring back at me. I know its a process, but I have come this far and nothing short of death is going to stop me from going all the way.
Hope everyone at BodySpace is having a great New Years!
Stay Gold!
