So, this is my first journal here, as well as my first 5x5 program...
I've been here for a couple of months now and finally starting this Journal...
A little info: The name's Matt, and ive been lifting since i was about 14(school, home, etc..)--now 18, and am now completely devoted since around 5 months ago....back in the summer of 04' I was roughtly 215, about 20 lbs overweight (lets say stockie), and in the struggle to lose that weight--which i did incorrectly--i lost most of my muscle mass... ending up at ~165lbs~. Given this weight loss was over a period of a year, I didnt look stockie anymore--moreso skiny... At 6' 168...now, around march of 05' i started back into the gym and little by little got more to where i wanted to be...
2006 rolls around and i decide to get more serious... by April, i am in the gym 3-4 times a week, starting to eat a little better and make myself more knowledgable about everything....
My Birthday came up (May 27th) turned 18 and was around 170...
By the middle of june I was in the gym everyday, Training correctly, eating alot healthier than I was at the beginning of 06'...
Staying steadily at 172...
With the help of alot of time on this board and in the gym, along with eating clean to gain, I bumped it up to a pretty hard 180 and im loving it...
Actually in the process of studying for my PT license...
