Tripp Doogan’s BodyBlog

Today was the beginning of week-6, and I worked on chest and shoulders. Since I started back at the gym, I’ve gained 5 pounds (in 5 weeks). That’s not bad, but it’s definately NOT As much as I want to be gaining. Mainly because i dont have the luxury to eat all the foods I want, and buy protein and supplements right now. So my gains have to suffer for now. Slowly but surely I will get to my goals. I am going-hard in the gym and bringing my rage with me to fuel my workouts. I ate pretty good foods all day to see if it would help my strength, and it did. I was able to lift more weight in every exercise I did today. So I’m feeling good about that. Plus I’m starting to SEE a little difference in my upper body now. Mostly in the chest and shoulders, some in the arms too.

In my life, I’ve been faced with many hard times, obsticles, tragedies, and set-backs. One after another, they keep coming, and I keep facing them head-on and dealing with the pain and drama that comes along with them. I’ve decided to take control over the one thing that I have control over…. MY BODY. I was watching the movie "The Hurricane" starring Denzel Washington, and during the part where he was being falsely imprisoned, he said he decided to turn his body into a killing machine that would destroy anything that tried to hold him down. Although it was just a movie, I felt what he was saying, and it influenced my mindstate to the point where I decided to do the same thing. Which leads right into my motivation. I stay motivated by thinking about all the problems and drama in my life, and everything that tries to bring me down and destroy me. It keeps me fired-up and ready to take each workout to the next step.

So, welcome into the journey of one man’s transition from a normal, slim man… into a tall, solid, cut-up, super-powered machine.
