Hey Brothers,

My name's Jordan and I'm not gonna lie, I'm a pudgy kid who let himself get way out of shape after high school sports. Going from wrestling at a lean 195 to being a bowling ball at 275, I've let my health get out of line. I looked like crap going into my freshman year of college and finally met some friends who got me into fitness and transforming my health. I wanna get into bodybuilding now. First things first, get rid of this keg hanging out on my stomach.

I started this Journey for accountability. I have a log up on bodybuilding.com as well, but I've found this community to be more supportive and motivational.

I'm going to remember Proverbs 18:9 during all of this, friends: "Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys."
-I don't want to destroy my body, so I'll be doing all I can to be an Animal in the gym and in life to not be slack.

Thanks for your support brothers, I'm doing training routine #3 from Animal here: http://www.animalpak.com/html/article_details.cfm?ID=46

I'll post my diet and workouts daily.

Take care brothers and blessings,

Jordan

Well this isn't the way I wanted to start off my journey: a missed workout. I was trying to get up before work today to get a session in only for my droid to fail at firing off my alarm. Well I usually take tomorrow off, so I'll get it in tomorrow.

Here's my nutrition log for today: http://www.fatsecret.com/export/2996184/806A4/14805/day/food/FoodDiary_100715_foods.pdf

I don't think I eat enough, but idk.

T-bar rows: 35x10, 35x10, 35x10
Cable rows: 125x10, 120x10, 120x10
DB rows: 40x10, 40x10, 40x10

Some motivation came from today's workout. I weighed out after, as per usual, to find myself at 245.1!! My lowest weight since starting training for fat lose and muscular size. So I'm definitely pumped.

Starting Animal Cuts tomorrow...
