..or maybe a blog?

Ok let's introduce.

I am around 5'8" and 160lbs. Around 15% to 20% body fat, so my first goal is to reduce the body fat and probably by doing this I will lost a lot of weight, which I will want to gain back later, but in the form of lean body mass. I first started with some basic home exercises like a year ago. It was really great (actually helped me get better insurance points) and I started to feel more.. hm.. alive? But after some time my own weight wasn't enough for me.

The gym. After a while I knew that a gym membership was inevitable. So I have invested in my health . Two days in week I word on my cardio (mostly treadmill) and another two days I spend with weight lifting - one day I devote to biceps, triceps, forearms, shoulders and traps (mostly exercises with dumbbells like zottman curl) and the other day I devote to chest, abs, quads, calves and back (mainly bench and some cable machines).

I don't use any specials nutrition I just try to avoid fatty foods and food with high glycemic index.

Will continuously add some photos and update my journey

And now treat for everyone who actually read my entire post and got to the end - the best song ever!

Good luck on your journey TRex. There's a ton of information here on CBB and within the members who post. We all don t have the same level of commitment. Some here are dead serious about every aspect of training and nutrition and others follow the basics and get by fine. At whatever level you re at currently there's always another level to take it. Read and ask questions and implement small things bit by bit so that you re constantly moving in the direction of your goals. Once you re comfortable add in the next thing and so on and so forth. In a matter of months you ll find that you re not exactly where you want to be but thankfully you re not at the same place you were before or worse---going in the opposite direction. A word of advice...your nutrition and meal planning will account for 75 percent (maybe more) of your results.

My suggestion is to start reading up on nutrition. It will take your game to the next level regardless of your goal being gaining muscle, lowering your bodyfat , or just being healthier all together. Exercise , nutrition, and sleep are the three main ingredients to success when altering your body and health. Good luck.
