Overall Goal:  Slowly climbing that ladder of weights again.

Fit Status:  Feeling lots of that good pain from this 3-S routine I'm doing...

Motivation Level: 7/10

When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
I was ordered to active duty to serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Prior to this deployment I was sent to Ft. Meade, MD for a Public Affairs Qualification Course, where I began working out (again) with a friend who I was going to deploy with.
Why I Love It:
I enjoy the post-workout burn as well as the strides that I've been able to make over the last year.
How I Stay Motivated:
By challenging myself with goals and reading about the incredible changes that others have made... That and a swift kick in the ass from Rock23 and Stryka...
BB Accomplishments:
** On the way to 350 lbs, I was able to hit 320 lbs during one session. ** Recently, I hit my Iraq deployment goal of benching 305 lbs. Time to raise the bar and go for 350 lbs. ** I've gained 30 lbs of muscle in the last year. ** I've gone from 135 lbs on the flat bench to 298 lbs. ** I've gone from about 180 lbs on the leg press to 704 lbs. And while I think that I still have a long way to go, I had someone tell me the other day that they wish they were cut like me.

Goals:
Main Goal:
Gain Muscle
Goal (Overall):
Slowly climbing that ladder of weights again.
Goal (Long):
By September I will hit 350 on the flat bench, and will shoot for 400 by December. I will get my run down to a seven minute mile by July and will hit six minute miles by October (2009 Army PT test). As well as a 5k in November with some friends I will (although I've no idea how right now) get my body fat down to 10% this year (hopefully this is realistic). I will do this while remaining at 200lbs.

I'm doing the Bill Starr 5x5 which is combining them. I have the spreadsheet, so we'll see what happens. You did the 5X5 right, did you combine or do them seperate?

Yes sir...started the 5X5 this morning. A little different coming off what I was doing, but I know it's proven.

I feel like I have gained both size and definition. I need to take some measurements and pics this week to actually document it.

Been off the leg weights, knee is slowly getting better, made some adjustments to my bike setup which seems to have helped.

Bro- read your fit status, which led me to read you S-3 blog, which led me to look up an S-3 article, which leads me to ask: "How the hell do you even get through that back workout?" and question #2 How 'bout a new progress pic? Curious bcs you already had really decent back in your Jan. pics. Thinking I may cycle in S-3 when I recover from the big V surgery. Sounds brutal, and brutal is good.
