Beginning of a Permanent Change

Jan 6 at 5:05pm by Andrew Benton

So tomorrow will be the first day of my new fitness routine, and also the beginning of my attempts to put more weight on. I’ve decided that I’m going to do 5 core workouts per week, splitting up body parts and trying to hit everything twice per week. Sounds weird, but I guess I’m becoming a body builder.

In addition to this regimen, I will add 3 days per week where I’ll wake up early and hit the gym. This will mostly be for cardio, but will plan on focusing mostly on things that will help me as I start Officer Candidate school soon. For these sessions, I will probably focus on some pretty hard cardio for 20-30 minutes, push-ups, pull-ups, and ab workouts.

Bodybuilding isn’t something that is easy at all, especially nutritionally. While doing this, I plan to attempt as much as I can, to eat 5-6 times per day. I will try to make breakfast my heaviest meal, and maintain 300-400 calorie meals throughout the day. With my schedule, they will probably mostly be protein shakes. I am going to make a grocery store run tomorrow to pick up some chicken breasts and egg-whites, etc.

Anyways, that’s all for now.

Oh, one more thing, I’ll be documenting the new design for this site sometime early in the week, check back often!
