get buff

To start with, this week I have been concentrating on general fitness – no good trying to build muscle if you’re out of breath just from doing the warm-up routines! So every day, apart from Thursday which I took as a rest day, I got on the cross-trainer for 15 mins of aerobics exercises, followed by 15 mins on the bike, and then as much rowing as I could handle. I can already see a small improvement, which is nice.

This week I start on the weights, following ‘Chris Ryan’s SAS Fitness Book’, kindly provided to me via Men’s Health magazine.

Vital statistics for this week; chest 32in, waist 32in, biceps 11.5in, 58Kg’s / 9st.

Currently, I look like a skeleton in photo’s. Especially photo’s where I’m standing next to other people. That’s got to change. I need to at least get up to the average weight for someone my height; ultimately I want to reach 80kg’s, and not have it collecting around my middle. This means gym. A lot of gym. And a lot of eating. Two things that generally I consider to be in the ‘dull duty’ section of life. But I’m determined to get this sorted.

been doing pushups and some arm exercises with a dumbbell. almost daily, but haven’t done it in a week, I feel too sick and don’t want to make myself sick for longer.

Every few days or so I find myself being able to to an extra pushup or an extra bicep curl, haven’t noticed increase in physical size

Although it might sound strange, I think I should focus on training to have a strong body for health and well-being reasons rather than for pure vanity. The latter just doesn’t seem to work. But I do want to be healthy and pain-free, and that will only be possible when my body fat is reduced and I have more muscle tone. Makes sense?

I have been going to the gym for about three months now, but last month i got really sick and have been avoiding the gym. I really need to go again. I guess my goal for this will be to gain twenty pounds if possible

because being strong is cool.

im really skinny people always mention me for how skinny i am so you know getting buff would be really good.

POWER BARRSSSSSSSS!

I need to get buff so I can dress up as a spartan from 300 for halloween! Yeah, it’s a dumb reason, but I’m hoping it’ll motivate me. I’ll walk around carrying a huge shield and stuff. Then I’ll freeze my ass off because I’ll be walking around wearing nothing but a cape and underwear shivers

Working out is hard. I get distracted and I forget what set I’m on. I need to get focuesed. I guess I’ll recommit to this goal here in a little while.
