Approved Log My first log Diet Training - Joshs log

[id8tom8]

This is all new for me. Years back like 14 years ago I was training for the fire department made it in the academy and didn't make it threw due to my knee blowing out needing a surgery and unfortunately never went back.

I am 34 years old now 6'5 and I weight 178lbs very little fat but also very little muscle. I've tried taking mass gainers through the years tried eating all the right things but have never been able to bulk up or get very big. I am at a new chapter in my life and now have time for me i would like to dedicate my time to doing this right and would appreciate all the help I can get. Honestly I know very little about well much of any of this but am eager to learn. I'm excited for this new start maybe there is someone out there willing to take me under their wing and help me along this process. I think it will be pretty neat to watch myself progress.


Right now I cook most of my meals not always the most healthy but definitely better than fast food. I eat a lot of ground beef, steak, pork chops, I always have a vegetable on the side or some sort of fruit. I eat a lot of bread which from what I hear isn't the best. This is all new to me so please feel free to comment I am open to constructive criticism.


Now as far as going to the gym and working out I just bought a gym membership 3 days ago and have not been yet. Haven't lifted weights in atleast 7 years. So maybe some tips on where I should begin would be great.


I'm sure I did this journal all wrong. But I am putting the effort in and willing to learn to do it correctly. Thank you again all I appreciate the help this is where my journey begins

yeah bread you should consider cake

gotta drop that, its a killer. baseculture keto bread its called made of natural ingredients is going to be okay in moderation, but regular bread is a no no

Well I went to the gym this morning..... Definitely been a while and definitely threw up all over the side of the trash can and made some into it. After that drank some water rested maybe 20 minutes and went back to it and did much better.

@id8tom8 this is a good start to a log I like you heading into it full hardcore

what we need for you to start this:

diet, start writing down what you eat and when you eat it, meals and times and what
training, start writing down what you train what sets and reps and dont worry if your weights low show us so we can help you improve
If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.

supplements, what supplements if any do you take? list them and when you take them daily post it as you go

face blurred pictures, so we see where you are post it dont worry about how you look, its about transformation
