My Journey To Excellence: Day One

This is me on day one. I saw this picture and I thought, "It's a lot better than a year ago!" And while I'm pretty happy with my progress up to this point, I still feel I have room to improve.

Today I hit the gym and targeted my back and chest muscles. Lots of pushing and pulling. I started light and increased weight over time, making sure I broke down my muscle tissue and working to failure. Once that tissue breaks down, it will start to come back bigger and stronger after a day or so of rest. In order to help this process and keep my muscle tissue healthy, I made sure I had my Results and Recovery Drink ready to go when I was finished. That stuff is a real life saver. Normally I would've came home and did a round of Ab Ripper X but I'm starting to feel the beginnings of a sinus cold. I didn't want to over-exert myself if I'm getting sick.

FOR TOMORROW: Since I didn't do it today, tomorrow I'll be doing Ab Ripper X. I love this workout because it's only 30 minutes long. I hate it because it's an incredibly BRUTAL 30 minutes!

On a final note, I won't be posting pictures of my progress every day. I'll only do it about every 30 days or so.
