DarkCustom Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hello Everyone,About me:My name is Jason and I'm 26.5'8" 145lbs ~12% BFI live in the unbearably hot state of Arizona. I spend my days playing with Excel formulas so I don't actually have to do any work.Graduated from ASU with a BS in Accountancy (I know, it's a sexy degree.) I'm a gear head and I've been restoring a 67 Mustang over the last 12.5 years (It's a never ending project.)My fitness history is a little spotty. The first time I stepped foot in a gym was when I was 20. I messed around like a n00b on the circuit machines and then would play racket ball with my dad. I was probably pushing 125lbs soaking wet. That only lasted a few months.When I was 22 (2008) I started hiking a lot and eating more which raised me up to MAYBE 130. After about a year of that I hit a hard emotional time in my life and dropped a lot of weight because eating was just too much work. I sought professional help and started working out hoping to boost my mental state into a more normal level. I attacked P90X with intense fury. I worked out every day, got the six pack, was starting to feel better. and then BAM! I laid down my Harley on the free way and got up close and personal with the asphalt while my bike took out the rear axle of a SUV. Well since I couldn't even hold a pencil after that my workout came to a screeching halt. After I finally stopped bleeding everywhere and could move my hands I had lost motivation.In April of 2011 I found out about the Warrior Dash the day it was happening. It looked interesting so a few months later I registered for a California one in October so that I would be motivated to workout. I really pushed myself and started running for the first time in years. Around August I found out about the Tough Mudder happening January 2012. I registered for it and picked up my pace in running. I finished the Warrior Dash and had a blast. I was more excited for the Tough Mudder since it seemed like more of a challenge. I completed the Tough Mudder in 2 hours in 30 minutes, and was in the top 5% of finishers that day. I was invited to attend the World's Toughest Mudder but decided not to attend as much as I want to. After the Tough Mudder I stopped working out and let myself go. A couple months ago I registered for the SoCal Super Spartan in January 2013. I jumped back into working out and have been lurking /r/fittit constantly. I've been trying to bulk up and raise my weight, which is incredibly hard for me. I average around 135 when not training and 145 when I am working out and eating about 2200-2500 calories. My goal is to have more definition in my upper body, mainly my arms and to weigh about 155lbs with around 8-10% BF. I know what I need to do to achieve this but I've always stopped short and inhibited myself because I eat like a bird so I can't pack on the weight, and I hate going to the gym so I can't effectively workout the larger muscle groups or do the workout plan I really want to do. I plan to change this very soon. When I stumbled onto this site last night I thought about how great an idea it is, especially the challenges. I have a few challenges in mind about how to reach my goals. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment
