Man I am in my office and it is like 74 degrees in here, I am not doing any physical activity since I am a programmer and yet I am hotter than hell and sweating like crazy…………………..

Man I feel pretty good, though my legs are a little stiff and feel like they need some stretching. Can’t wait till tomorrow and I am real interested on how I will feel by the end of the week.

Fist workout complete. I feel great though with the small poundages I was moving I felt pretty weak compared to how I used to lift though I didn’t try to push it too hard yet don’t want to injure myself again. But it really brings to focus how much strength I have lost, but thats what I am here for so I get to work at it and keep improving. Here is my first workout.

Squats: 115×15, 135×12, 145×12, 155×12

Leg Extensions: 40×12, 50×12, 60×12

Leg Curls: 40×12, 50×12, 60×12

Military Press: 65×15, 75×12, 85×10, 95×8 

Dumbell Shoulder Press: 10×12, 15×12, 20×12

Dumbell Lateral Raise: 10×12, 15×12, 20×12

Seated Calf Raise: 90×15, 100×12, 110×12, 120×12 (Haven’t done these on a machine for a long time, felt pretty weak on this)

Even though I felt weak I can’t wait to do my next workout on Wednesday Back, Triceps, Traps, Abs going to be fun.

Just found a local gym that has a nice weight room(nicer than the equipment that I have) and joined today. Will start training tomorrow. Can’t wait to enter my first workout onto my body space. I also have taken current pics(yikes not sure I wanna post them….scary LOL) and will continue to take pics every 2 weeks so that I can see my progress.

After about 6 years away from lifting and 150 pounds heavier I am starting over after finding this website.  I was inspired by so many people in the forums who have worked hard and improved how they look.  Seeing others who began where I am now and how they improved beyond what I thought was possible. I have started all over and have begun to learn how to eat and build my body the right way. How to set goals and record my progress. Things I never did when I lifted when I was younger. I have setup my routine, planned how I will eat and just can’t wait to start.
