Took my American College of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer test yesterday and PASSED!!!! Hardest test I’ve ever taken, but well worth it!! Goes to show you can do ANYTHING with hard work, persistence, and determination.

So it’s been awhile since I made a post so I thought I’d stop by and update this thing. Here is whats up. So I wanted to reach 200lb by the end of August which I cam damn close to weighing in around 197 when I left for vacation Aug. 26th. Vacation took a toll on me and I lost some pounds from not hitting the gym. Anyway I got back Sept 9th and after reading "the education of a bodybuilder" by Arnold I took a page from the book and started a new work out. It is much more intense then my normal 50 minute work out. I’m now getting up at 5am so I can hit the gym by 6am and stay till 8am. So 2 hours 6 days a week and let me tell you the pounds have come back. In no time at all I am now up to 199lb just 1 pound shy of my goal. I must say the work out is intense with high reps and higher sets. I couldn’t walk for 3 days it felt like after my first leg day. Anyway thought I’d share my new routine, it has kicked my ass and done its job and I am excited to keep with this one for awhile. Cheers!

So my weight changes through out the day, normally I lift in the morning and I weigh less then when I work out in the afternoon. Anyway two days in a row now I have come in at 189.5. Now gaining 10 pounds might not seem hard to some, but for me its a challenge. But, when I started lifting 3 months ago I was 174lb…so I have gained 16 pounds of lean muscle (the right way). Can’t wait to hit my goal of 200lbs. !!!!!
