This reboot has been a long time coming, this system was built many years ago.
Back when youth and endurance were on my side, work was put in; years of effort went into constructing what was once a rock solid physique.
Eating everything in sight, and growing beyond a pace I ever expected, I reached size and goals that eventually garnished the nickname 'Big Bear'.
Now, almost 7 years away from the iron, I am a husk of the animal I once was. 7 years without routine, structure, and discipline; years not without other highs and other journeys, but all of them fleeting.
I am now nowhere close to living what I would describe as a "healthy" lifestyle.
I am in the worst shape of my adult life, weighing almost as much as I did when peak gains were happening in my early twenties.
Now, just passing the age of 30, that weight has turned from heavy muscle into lazy, stagnate garbage.
This is the first time in a long time that I have some structure to build on that base. A new job, a new relationship and a new city, I've finally found my footing in my 'adult' life.
It is now time to see what I can rebuild from the framework of my youth; a hard reboot of the system, to see what was left from the muscle memory of the past.
This is my journey, I hope it is a guide for some and inspiration for most.
I was a member here during my origins of my training, and always enjoyed the comradery and support from this community.
Always looking for comments and discussion on the best approach to find the results you're looking for.
If you follow along, I greatly appreciate it.
