My Background

I know this should probably be under the "about me" tab but that didn't work when I tried it and I'm too excited to get this blog started but before I do that, I wanted to give a brief history of my fitness background so you all know why you are reading my posts.

I am 22 years old. I stand 6 feet and 3 inches off the ground. I weigh about 210 pounds, and my body fat percentage is about 12%. I was never this fit though.

In High school I played football and I just wanted to be an enormous juggernaut because I was an Offensive/Defensive Lineman. I lifted weights, rarely ran or did cardio, and by my senior year of high school I weighed 305 pounds. (I wanted to play offensive line in college.)

When I was a sophomore in college I passed out from heat exhaustion right in the middle of August training camp and I thought-I could probably carry myself a lot easier if I lost a little weight.

Skipping ahead (I don't want to bore you)

By the end of my senior football season in college I was about 230 pounds and I was playing tight end.

Shortly after my football career ended I made the decision to serve my country and and join the military. This was ultimately the decision that motivated me to lose SERIOUS weight. I knew that I had to be light on my feet. I knew I had to become as fast and as agile as those cross country kids I used to make fun of in high school or I would never make it.

So, making a long story short, I want to share with all of you the research I have done that helped me lose almost 100 POUNDS over the course of 4 years while still maintaining good healthy strength.

Enjoy
