From the Ashes: Training and Diet

[future]

Ok, I have decided to put this up for EVERYONE to see...and make fun of me. I am about 255-260 maybe 15% bf. GROSS HUH? My training is predicated on a POSSIBLY torn tendon in my right shoulder AND recovering STILL from umbilical hernia surgery (the hole was 2" in diameter). My abs were totally messed up from the surgery. I had my gallbladder removed when I was 19 so I have scars and a messed up abdominal core already. Although I have put up some world class numbers with lifting I am not world class now. Depression has been a HUGE issue for me after my series of injuries. Yep I admit it. Also my epilepsy has been another major issue for a few years. The yo yo'ing with epilepsy meds has sucked. The depakote REALLY made me gain alot of fat.

GOALS:

1. Be healthy
2. Improve on triceps, biceps, traps, abs, legs
3. Decrease bodyfat to about 5-7%
4. Squat and deadlift 500x20
5. Keep my bodyweight under 245
6. Stay natural

Good luck (even though you don't need it ) I will be staying tuned to see how things go for ya!

yes this will be interesting.........did I read that right you want to be 5-7% BF??

Isn't it near impossible to keep a bodyfat as low as 5%

To keep that conditioning? Yes, it's not easy. If I can get to it slowly then I will reevaluate from there.

This should be fun to watch. I think we have all battled depression and things of that nature in our lifes. Keep your head up bro. Focus on the things that make you happy. It works for me

hear you on the depression part. Few years back had 2 knee surgery's due to football injuries. Came back stronger then ever

Very true. I found out that my focus in life was too much into training. When that was gone I was FUBAR. I live a much more balanced life now.

Well, I wont be squatting a grand but I hope to get back to doing some training work every so often life repping 700+ in a year or so.

Glad to see ya starting up a journal again Shawn, should be interesting to watch ya work back up to those insane numbers.

Well, I have never chronicled the diet stuff so I thought this would help me as well. Things I have given up are soda and alcohol.
