Hey guys,
Some of you may remember me on some of the other boards from a decade or so ago. I used to spend way too much time on these boards, but here lately not nearly enough.
I started out as a 17-year-old kid that joined a board back in 2006 to try to get pointed in the right direction of training and ended up becoming a certified trainer and wrote hundreds of fitness articles. Back then, I lived and breathed weightlifting and training; then life happened and I haven't been the same since.
All of that feels like another lifetime ago and today I'm a 32-year-old truck driver that is recently divorced and figured "hey, I always found myself in the gym before marriage, why not give it a shot?" Now I'm back into researching and trying new things to "find myself" as you'd say.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I was 300 lbs back in the summer when my divorce was first set into place. Admittedly, my weight and how being such an out-of-shape, unmotivated, miserable person helped put me in that situation.
Admittedly, when I was training back then I was a bench press only guy. Focused more on benching than anything I told myself this time around I was going to focus a lot more on squats, deads, upper back training, even more on arms than I did previously. I especially.. especially want to work more on conditioning this time.
With that being said, I'm going to start a log on here.
Cheers!

I can relate to a lot of this brother. Best of luck on your journey. I’m sure you’ll crush your goals! If you ever want to chat, shoot me a DM.
see you around the boards.
