I'm joining the rebellion! (W/Photo, nsfw?)


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

 

I am joining the rebellion at last!

 

I want to refocus on fitness and health and ensure it remains a priority in my life. I work as a Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineer at a satellite solar array manufacturer. I graduated HS in 2012 and was fairly fit being that I had wrestled for the school team my senior year. I went to college in SLO where there was a free gym. I used that off/on for my 5 years there and gained considerable mass. Following college, I joined a crossfit gym being that I no longer had a gym. I was in the best shape of my life around Oct/Nov 2018 after having signed up and only ten weeks in. I was 165 and 14% with good size and definition. In November 2018, I moved cities to start a new position at a growing and innovative company. Since then, I have somewhat neglected my fitness goals and have not rejoined a gym or club. I am now living in Camarillo, CA near Ventura/Santa Barbara.

 

Currently, I am 178 at 24.3%. I would like to set a goal of around 175 @ 20% for now and eventually 175 @ 15%. (My goal is to lose fat and gain muscle, lean bulk?)

I currently meal-prep my lunches to ensure good nutrition despite my busy work schedule. I have not been hiking in the past year and would like to start up again as it helps physically, mentally, and spiritually. I tend to go about twice a week for an hour at a time. I have free weights (dumbells and barbell) at home to train with and would like to avoid a gym membership for the time being. I will eventually be looking into a membership in the coming months as things begin to open up. Here is a photo as I stand today.

 

Anyways, I hope to learn a ton and connect with others with similar goals.

I will be holding myself more accountable and this forum will serve to help with that goal.

 

Let's do this!

Any feedback is appreciated. I really want to get rid of my love handles and get definition/fullness back in my quads, abs, and chest. 

 

Thanks for reading!

 

PS. Long term goal is to remain physically fit for Off-Road/Trophy Truck Racing in the near term future. Planned to be the team co-driver/navigator for June 2021 and on.
