I'm relatively new to body building, I have never been a proper member of a gym however I have been to gyms a few times throughout my life, no more than 20 times most likely.
I did some strength and conditioning training with my school rugby coach which yielded better than what I expected results so I am here now to have a proper crack at a year long transformation not just a pre-season rugby transformation.
At the moment I will need to loose a few kilograms to be content with my weight, I have eaten pretty badly over my life, with the main culprit being a fairly high in sugar diet, I'm hoping to reduce this as i already did towards the middle and end of 2012. I hope this challenge will motivate me to continue eating healthy and to improve even more so.
Currently I haven't lifted in roughly 3 years so my strength has suffered pretty heavily.
Currently I can lift:
Bench press: 80kgs x 10 x 3 sets.
Deadlift: 105kgs x 10 x 3 sets.
Squat:95kgs x 10 x 3 sets.
I unfortunatly do not know my 1 rep max at the moment.
My job requires more muscle endurance than simply strength and power and this has been a factor in my amount of repetitions and sets.
I can run 2.4 km's in 10:05 and 4 km's in 18:10 and will continue to work on my running and cardio.
At the moment and until I feel the need to do isolation exercises I will mainly stick to compound exercises. Try to use the main muscle groups and get the biggest gains over the first 6 months roughly of my training and then work out a more refined planned to suit from when I feel I have hit the wall essentially.
I train in my garage with a pretty decent set up, it offers almost everything I need to do the exercises, however i will continue to improve it over the coming 12 months and beyond.
Some statistics are:
Age: 20
Height: 184 cm's
Weight: 86 kg's
Waist: 35 inches
Arms: 14.5 inches
Chest: 42 inches
Body Fat: roughly 18% (once I am shown how to use the skin fold calipers properly I will come back with a better estimation).
Neck: 15.5 inches
Calfs: 16.5 inches
Goals: Improve diet, stick to it the entire year and enjoy the journey, and maybe gain a bit of muscle along the way.
Obviously there is a long way to go and some areas that need massive improvement but i look forward to seeing how everyone goes over the next 12 months.
I think that sums up about all I have to say.
Good luck everyone!
