Front View (flexing a bit)



Try to flex my biceps. Not impressive.

Okay, I am a average looking guy on Oct 26 2008
I'll put myself into a year of weight training to see what I'll become in a year time.
I'll keep posting new images of me once a month to track my progress.

I'll be on high volume training for the next 15 weeks, therefore, I will consume moderate amount of carbohydrat, high amount of protein and high amount of fat.
Will have 4 to 5 workout day per week.
My training split for these period of time would be Leg+Biceps, Shoulder+Biceps, Chest+Triceps, Back+Triceps, and Total Body Day.
Will try to include at least 2 Cardio sessions per week.
Also include Abs routine in every session if possible.
My starting weight is 80kg.
Not sure about my bodyfat at the moment.
And I'm 180cm tall.

Day 0

Today is my birthday.
I'm setting up this blog to see if my body will change with hardcore weight training after 12 months.
I also want to track my progress until my next birthday.
