Goals:
Main Goal:
Lose Fat
Goal (Overall):
Back to the grind...
Goal (Long):
In order of priority my goals are: -Fat Loss back to easily visible 6 pack. -Bigger chest, muscle group has always been dwarfed by my bigger shoulders and traps. -Definition in biceps, right now to me there is almost no definition. I have long muscle bodies and carry a lot of fat on my arms. -Horseshoe triceps. -Clearly defined calves. -Fine tune my workout schedule so I can find it enjoyable instead of just work/reward oriented. -Flexibility, I'd like to start a stretching routine, but don't really know much about stretching other than what we do in the Army. Yoga would be fun.
