Now is the time.

I have decided that now is the time to put everything together before it all really falls apart and I can’t put it together. I have to put my family life back together before it is truley damaged beyond repair. I have to figure out what I want out of my work before it kills me. I need to get my training back on track to get towards a goal.

For the first time in my life, this includes all my Powerlifting/Strongman compitions and other various sports, I am going to follow my training and nutrition plans. I want to be 205lbs with single digit body fat. I want to be able to push some of the weights that I once did. I want to bench 600lbs again I want to deadlift over 800lbs again, I want to squat 770lbs again. This time I want to do it at a weight of 205lbs not 365lbs. The only way to do this is to stick with my regimented plans. I will start updating my profile with what I am doing and how I feel about it. I will take update pictures. The first ones will not be to pretty, but eventually they will.

Now is the time.

little by little

Due to the situation there has been NO weight lifting. Since my stop at the hospital I have had no energy or strength. I had to stop my second job as a bouncer because if there happened to be a problem I would not physically be able to control the situation.

On to what I have been able to do. Nutrition part is getting better but still needs to be refined. Cardio is starting slowly but surely. Tommorow I am going to the gym to at least try something. I really should do some before pictures, will see.

The tests are back and I am in poor but not deathly shape

Hypertension was the cause of visit to the hospital not a heart attack. One of the guys at work called it, he had the same thing. I was almost relieved to hear that but now I have a problem with so many triggers that a heat attack is easier.

The next step is to regroup and organize my solutions. As pointed out before(thnx for your comments and suggestions) I need to get a hold of and control the stuff going in the body, this will ensure a better chance of success. I still need to go back for more test to get cleared for the heavy lifting but the introduction to lite cardio is a go! I stated before that I have never done anything that even looked like cardio before but this is the time to start. I am going to do the treadmill for now as that gets better I will increase to the bike and swimming. That almost sounded like triathalon training, something to shoot for for next year as a goal. I don’t mean compete against world class competitors but to complete something like that would be amasing.

Nothing like a Heart attack for inspiration

I was taken to the emergency room today because I thought I had had a heart attack, the doctor thought I had a heart attack. The tests found that I did not, but at 34 years of age I realized that something needs to change. I was trying to fool myself in to thinking that I was in better shape than I really am. The doctor said that I was in O.K. (not even good) shape for a man of 73. That hurt but was true. I need to change my life completly or just realize that I am going to die soon.

I have a deadend job behind a computer that no one respects or puts any merritt in, that I do for 12 hour shifts. My nutritional intake could not get any worse if I made a bowl out of cooking lard and filled it with butter and sugar. I have lost all of the real muscle that I had while doing strongman contestest and my endurance is so poor as I have never done cardio in my life!

I have done this for the last 14 years. I don’t even know where to start to make my life come around to where it should be. Any suggestions?

Welcome!
