For the first time in my life I’ve been able to consistently lift weights.  Aside from a vacation or date night or working overtime on occasion I have not missed the gym in going on 6 months now.  Always I have been victime of rotator cuff injuries and my SI joint has apparently stopped plaguing my life for now.  So in these last 6 months I have made dramatic changes to my physique and strength and frankly, I super excited about that.  I realize now that it will be a slow process from here on out, with gains and such, but I’m looking forward to the journey.  We all have those workouts where everthing clicks, you got the right amount of rest the night before, there is just enough energy in the body and the mind is strong.  I’m starting to have these kinds of workouts on a regular basis now.  Take yesterday, it was "leg day" and my buddy was not there for spotting or for motivation.  Yet, when I was standing there with the measley 185lbs. on my back ready to slow deep squat my life away, I had not thoughts of quitting or ugh this sucks, but only thoughts of how great this was gonna feel and how I knew I had it.  This thought process carried on throughout the rest of my workout and I left the gym in a complete euphoric/nauseated state.  That is how a good leg day should feel to me.  I just remember a time when I was scared of leg days, and now I look forward to them, they are the most satisfactory part of my week, and the hardest.  My legs are nothing to brag about (yet), in fact they are much smaller than most peoples in the gym, but I’m trying like the devil to change that, and that is what it’s about.  Simply hard work, and I like hard work.

So I’ve been a "member" here for months now.  And like your typical modern day person I’ve been a little skeptical of anything related to online activity.  So intead of being ‘that guy’ who just looks at hot chicks and seeing guys’ physiques I wish I had or admired, I’m going to become an active member in this little bubble of a community.  I hope also to not turn into one of those self absorbed cheese-dick types.  I posted a headshot to at least make my face known and will hopefully start posting some pics of progress that I might have.  All in all I’m utilizing this site as more of an encouragement and an accountability facilitator than anything else.  Although looking at good looking people isn’t a crime it isn’t why I’m here.  So wish me luck on my endeavors and new way of life.
