Well i decided to start a log to keep myself honest. I will give some details and background etc.
Background
I am fat. No seriously i am fat. I started to get fat when i was young, my dad encouraged me to be active and lose weight but i didn't and so now i am fat. I don't want to be fat duh. I don't play sports, i hate sports except mma or live hockey(no tv hockey).
Training Background
I have been training for almost 2 years. Unfortunately most of it has been bodybuilding crap. I started with HIT made great newb gains, lost 25 or so pounds. Started incorporating more real strength stuff but still bb crap. Stalled, and am still weak. I think that my bb style training has hindered my progress as it is not conducive to real strength only aesthetics. So i quit that junk, to be honest i wasn't squatting until the last 6 months, ya ya i know.
Current training
Bill starr 5x5, nuff said. YMCA north branch, columbus.
Diet
Its okay. It could be better, but i am super picky so its kind of hard. I didn't eat chicken until recently. I don't eat pork (except bacon), i don't eat turkey, i don't most other meats, just beef and some chicken and a little tuna. Veggies are okay brocolli, grean beans, corn carrots thats about it. I try to eat 3000 calories of below, witht he bulk of them coming from protein and complex carbs. I usually get between 260 or more grams of protein. I have a real weakness for burgers, especially the baconator (damn you wendy's!!!)
