Revamp

As I recently stated on the prominent venue that is Facebook, I have decided to give this blog a slight shift in focus. When I created this blog I intended to write exclusively on diet and nutrition plans along with exercise routines.

I will still update on any new developments in my own nutritional plan or post updates that might aid in the nutrition of others, but I now intend to keep a tally of my own progress in and out of the gym. It's not all about exercise anymore, though. I plan on writing about all the events regarding my pre-medical/biochemical pursuits.

I hope this restructuring serves as a way of periodically solidifying my thoughts and agenda and also to somehow helping those who read it.

Not a lot has changed with my nutritional plan. I still stay far away from red meat, and almost all dairy products. There is, however, quite a bit of chicken and turkey being consumed these days.

My gym exploits have improved dramatically since the last time I updated this blog. Just the other day I maxed out at 260 pound on the flat bench press. My squats have increased up to 315 pounds as well.

I've been pushing myself very hard in the gym during the summer months. I'm trying to reach and maintain a total body weight of 190 pounds. At the end of the spring semester I was at 8% total body fat and I am now approaching 6%. I'm trying to reach 5% by the end of the summer.


Thanks for reading. If anyone has questions regarding fitness, nutrition or if anyone wants to share their own personal goals or experiences I would love to hear them.
