Just a quick note to everybody. Thanks for the support and for leaving all the awesome comments on my profile. I have to run right now, but I’ll try to get on later and shoot the shit with ya’ll about boot camp.

I’ve only got one week left to myself guys. My shipout date for boot camp has been bumbed up to the 13th, so I’m just mostly running and doing my crunches, and of course pullups.

Well, guys. I’ve signed up. I just got back from knocksville a couple days ago where I took my ASVAB test and also my physical. I did well on my test and the physical. I signed the four year contract and I’m going in as infantry. I’ve yet to do me fitness test with my recruiter, but I’m doing that sometime this week and I know I’ll do well with that also. My shipping out date is the 26th of November, but I could very well go before that. I appreciate all the comments left on my profile and especialy the people who read my blog. As you can tell I havn’t been able to get online very much lately as I’m very busy at home memorising stuff I’ll need to know in boot.

If you live around the Chatanooga area and would like to know more about the Marine Corps, I’ve been instructed to give you my recruiters phone number (he’s an awesome guy), so just write me a pm if your interested.

I’m at MEPS right now guys. I’ll let you know how it went when I get back in a couple of days.

Just got back from a week long trip up to Tennessee.  I was able to train on a weight set the people we where staying with  had.  Thanks to everyone who left comments while I was gone, I think I answered all of them. I’ll be joining the Marine Corps within the next two weeks, so I don’t know when the next time I’ll be able to get on, but I’d still appreciate ya’ll to leave me encouraging comments. Take care everyone and wish me luck.

First of all I’d like to thanks the guys who left comments in my last post, it’s been great to be back in the land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

 I just got back from the YMCA that my friend took me to. You get one free day, so I might go visit their other one that’s in the next county.

 My workout went really well. I pretty much did a full body workout to get things going again. My friend is taller than me and weighs 190lbs and he’s pretty fit, but I did surprise him with my strength and muscularity. So I was glad for the compliments since he’s so much bigger than me. Once I get some running shoes I’ll go the local high school and run on their track, which will be very pleasant to finally run on something that is flat and smooth with no hills.

I still want to join the Corps, but things are a little hectic right now as far as us getting settled down and finding a permanent place to stay. But I’m working on it.

We’ve landed, finally. I’m in Georgia now, we got in on Wednesday. I can’t wait to start working out, one of the workers at Wal-mart gave me a free 30 day pass to a gym called the Rush, so I checked it out online and it seems like a great facility (it’s huge). For now I’ve just been doing crunches and pushups of various types.

Well, things have been a little hectic, but I was able to get one last workout in before we left. Sorry I havn’t answered all your comments on my profile, as bodyspace hasn’t been working for me for the last three weeks. I really appreciate you guys checking it out and leaving comments.

 At the moment I’m writing this from South Africa, becuase we missed our connecting flight to New York (long story, email me if you want to hear it, don’t want to bore everyone on here). We’ll land in Georgia on Wenesday. And I’ll try to get back with all of ya’ll once we get situated.

All for now, I’ll write again and tell ya’ll how my first worout back in the States goes.

Had a great workout yesterday, heres how it went.

Benchpress 200lbs 5 sets of 4.

Seated rows 160lbs 3 sets of 10.

Pullups two sets of 10. My lats where shot after doing the rows, so I couldn’t do as many pullups as I usually do.

Then I ran for 4.25 miles. I ran the first 1.75 mile in 12min and 45sec, and that’s with two hills that I have to climb, so that’s pretty good for me. My stamina is improving a little in that area.

Only about 18 more days until I get back to the States, so I can’t wait to run on nice flat American roads.

Howdy folks, sorry if I havn’t replied to any of the posts that have been made on my profile in the last several days, our internet has been out, so I can only be n for a limited time.

I have been adding 5lbs to my bench consistantly for the past few weeks, and I only have 15lbs to go to reach my goal of 250lbs by september.
