5'8", 175 lbs. Nobody believed I weighed 175! The best shape of my life - trying to get it back. This is before I became ill. See my blog for the story.
I once trained to near contest condition when I was 30. One heart attack and 15 years later, I want to get back to my ideal bodyweight and reassert my health. I still have a fairly decent base of muscle so I know I can make the transformation.
I'm committed to achieving my perfect health and bodyfat % by June 2008!
After I sent Brad a video of Mike Mentzer illustrating HIt leg training, he suggested we train legs today using HIT. Needless to say, my legs were BURNING throughout the workout, which was short, but sweet. More HIT - and bigger legs - to come! :)
