A New Beginning!

I've decided to start this blog to track my progress and to share with people who are interested in their fitness goals as well. Tomorrow starts day 1 of my new program and I've decided that I wanted to begin this as well. This is my first blog I've ever had and I've always been interested in other fitness pages so I figured I'd give it a shot! I'll be posting my daily workouts and dieting so you can do what I do!

To give you an idea of where I am. I am 6'1'' 185lbs. Today I maxed out the three "Main" lifts and I had 245 for bench, 335 for squat, and 455 for Deadlift. Right now I run a 20:30 5k, which is down quite a bit from where I began which was around 23 minutes. I have 5-6.5% body fat and eat about 3000 calories a day give or take. I don't normally track what I eat to that great of an extent but hopefully writing this blog will keep me on track.

Starting tomorrow begins my new cycle of training which will focus mainly on body weight movements, running 4-6 times a week, swimming every other day, and there will be weight training involved but not to the extent where I did before. I've taken the past 3 days off to give my body a rest except for today which is when I maxed out. Usually however, I would run 4 times a week, swim occasionally, and weight train 4-5 times a week. I'm hoping the switch to body weight movements (Pushups, pullups, etc.) will give me a lot of gains since I've always focused on weights so extensively.

My main goals are to get my 5k down to around 17-18 minutes, be able to do 40 pullups from a dead hang, 120 pushups in two minutes, and 150 situps in 2 minutes. The reasoning for this is because I am joining the Marines next year and my main goal in life is to become a Navy SEAL. I'm hoping this blog will keep me motivated and talking to whoever wants to follow my journey.

So starting tomorrow I will begin posting my workouts, what I generally eat every day, and my thoughts and concerns during my journey to becoming in better shape!  dieting will not be too specific, however I will try my best. Any questions or comments please feel free to email me at TrainWithMe00@Gmail.com, I hope to inspire and train with you all!
