“Taking Control of an Uncontrollable World” What does this mean? For me it’s taking control of my life and steering it down the path that I want to go. This path is the path of iron. Some of you know me from when I first started, I was a man on a mission in Korea, who lost a good amount of fat, and began making gains in the way of lean mass. I spent most of this time trying to find what worked for me.
A year later I was happy with the gains I made, and even happier with the lessons learned. I returned to the States, the wife, the full time do or die Army, and I switched to a 5x5. A program I loved, yet life once again got in the way. The Army had me doing this and that, the wife wanted time with me when it was gym time, and I had eye surgery and was not allowed to lift for fear of popping the flap.
Let me say this, I am 100% healthy, and a 110% more motivated then ever. I now have the knowledge to not wait on a piece of equipment, but move on and do another move like I had planned. I plan to take this knowledge and hunger to be that much better, to be bigger then that guy across the room, and its time I stop letting things take control of my goals. I am here to stay, and I am in life’s driver seat now.
Prior to coming to Oklahoma, I dropped a couple hundred on a home gym for the basement, barbell, dumbbells, weights and a bench. A few more items will be on there way, but this is my start of grabbing life’s reigns, and letting nothing get in the way.
I plan to do my best to post a minimum of once a week in this Journey, it’s the people on these forums that keeps me going, it’s the guy down the road lifting when I am sitting, gaining that much more ground in life that gets me in the gym everyday. I know where I want to be this time next year, and it’s about damn time I do it.
