First, I saw squatninja on corygfitness.com and thought is was pretty awesome. If you want you can get the tshirt here.

Well I am just a normal guy I have a full time job sitting behind a computer monitor, so I have a pretty sedentary day, not much moving. Working out is pretty essential if I am not going to look as round as the Pokémon's all over the place right now.

My goal is to make it to the gym 5-6 times a week but I usually only get there 4-5. I will basically be journaling here. What I did for a workout, how I was feeling that day, how the workout went and what I ate. I will try and update it daily or as close to that as I can.

I might include some pearls of wisdom I find along the way or other blog articles that I read that I find interesting.

Let's start with my lifting goals. By the end of August I want to be able to lift the follow weights in a single workout at 180-185 lb body weight:

Deadlift 500 lbs
Back Squat 400 lbs
Bench 300 lbs

I am getting closer, here are my current totals at 177 lb weight are

Deadlift: 465
Back Squat: 385
Bench: 235

I have been adding about 10 lbs every 3-4 weeks to my dead lift, and a little less than that on my squat. I struggle the most adding weight to my bench totals.  To compensate for this I have added 2 extra days of bench press to my workouts on top of my normal chest day.

Well those are my current goals for the summer. Keep checking back to see what is happening.
