I've been a long time reader and thought it was time to take the first steps to building a better, stronger, healthier and happy me. I've been crook for the past 5+ years and due to ill health and a bad frame of mind I've put on a few extra kilos (weigh 105kg's to be exact) but the ironic thing is I have muppet arms that would give kermit a run for his money, chicken legs and a nice ROUND belly where my stomach used to be. Not an ideal description for someone my height (190cms) so I purchased a squat rack with lat pull down facility, 7' Olympic bar & 150kg's of Olympic rubber weights, couple of kettle bells and a incline/decline bench.
My main goals are obviously to lose the belly, increase overall body strength and hopefully put on a few kilos for the right reasons. In doing this I'll have a body that wont break down if I decided to play sport again and so I can enjoy the day to day things like I used to.
Will take a few "before" pictures and get them up and hopefully in a few months (starting this health kick at the coldest part of the year in Tassie was smart
will have some progress pictures to share with you all.
Cheers Ben
