About

I am a white male with high blood pressure.  I have been exercising since March of 2006 (I started when I was 38).  I have always been lean, thin, skinny, not fat, but not strong either.  In fact, I have always been pretty weak.  I am (was) a good swimmer and runner, but I dislike both.  This is my journal to track my progress weekly (more or less) in the gym.

I do not take any supplements any more radical than whey and soy protein.  No creatine, no “Muscle-Blaster”, no nitromethane, no steroids or that human growth hormone stuff.

I do not take a notebook to the gym.  I go to lift, not to write.  I do not obsess over how much weight, how many reps, how many sets, etc.  If I cannot keep track of it upstairs – I wing it.  I keep it simple.

I also do not try to do every single exercise or work every single muscle from every single angle, because Simple is Good.

I do this for me, but also for my family.  I want to be around when my kids have kids, and start their own lives, and not be a medical burden to them.  For myself, I really enjoy seeing how much I can make my body push.

So now you know.
