Overview / Motivation: 2015 ended pretty flat due to a few reasons that don't really matter now. Now that the challenges are 4 weeks a piece, I feel better about starting slow and refocusing on good habits and consistency. I'm also rethinking my main quest goals since they have been focused on pushing significant weight (for me at least), but is that really what I need? I still want to target a goal for bench and squat, but less than originally planned so I can focus on some better goals. Coming off of 2015 I am definitely packing some extra pounds and stiff as a board, so I think that is a good place to start and begin transforming myself into a better version of myself. So with all that said, it's time to re-envision who I want to become in 2016 and use the spirit of the New Year to be 'reborn'. Time to get after it!
