****. YEAH.
This is the greatest idea ever, I've been trying so many different ways to track my workouts and progress (i.e. apps, paper and pencil, in my head) but this seems awesomely amazing, or, is that amazingly awesome? Whatever, not only do I get to log my workouts digitally but it's online to access from anywhere AND I can get other peoples feedback, help, support, comments and whatever?! I say again, **** yeah. Now, can I get a spot?
Let me catch you up, I'm a 32 year old father and husband. When it comes to fitness, I learned first in the military, but never got to serious. When I got out of the US Navy at the end of 2005 I got even less serious about it. Like a lot of people I would work out maybe 3 or 4 months a year, usually early spring when you want to look good for summer, but recently something changed. I took a long hard look at myself and I realized I was not what I wanted to be, even more importantly I was not WHO I wanted to be. I have many problems, like all of us do. I had back problems that I was letting disable me, I had mental issues (PTSD) I was not confronting, I had a lack of motivation I was letting drag me down and I was using all these things as excuses as to why I couldn't fix any of it. I was a victim. I told myself there was nothing I could do, it was all out of my control.
Then I woke up.
I took control and it started with my health. I decided I didn't want to be a "dad bod". **** no, I want to be big, I've always wanted to be big and why the hell didn't I ever do that before?! Because my back hurt? Because I can't afford a gym membership? It's to hard? I don't want to? wait, that's it, I didn't WANT to. Not as much as I wanted to play video games, not as much as I wanted to party, and drink, and sleep, and eat shit food and "relax". Not anymore my friends, who I am now is written all over my body, you can see it in my muscles. My convictions flex when I move, my mental toughness pours down my face on my last reps, Who I am and who I want to be are becoming one in the same. Everyday I am better, everyday I am stronger, everyday I reach another milestone, everyday I cross off another goal. I watch as my hard work molds my very being into exactly what I want it to be, Big. Real big, well... I'm getting there.
THE STATS
Height- 6'2"
Weight- 195lbs.
Waist- 34"
Chest- 47"
Biceps- 15.5"
Quads- Shit I forget, wish I had a log.
Calves- 15"
Alright! I think that's everything. I will start inputting my workouts as replies each day I do them, which should be quite often. This will really help keep me honest too, no more skipping leg day.
You can also follow this journey through my YouTube vlogs. Just search for me, Nathan Haymaker (that's the name of the channel too) Thanks!
