About Me

My photo
I am 20 years old at Springfield College. I started Crossfit in the winter of 2008 and have went on and off with that and P90x. But since the summer of 2009 until summer of 2011 I did Crossfit then switched to Strength and Conditioning. I Played soccer lacrosse basketball and ran track throughout my life. I played lacrosse at Endicott but I was injured and did not play the entire season. Another passion is strength and conditioning which has changed my life for the better. My midterm goal is to compete in a powerlifting competition, run an ultra and run the Boston Marathon, and my ultimate long term goal is to become a Strength and Conditioning coach, a lacrosse coach, and to open my own Strength and Conditioning gym as well as break the record for bench press at 165lbs bw. Along with training for my goals I enjoy pushing my body to its limits and seeing what the human body is capable of by doing activities that require a lot of physical and mental aspects.

Body: tired
Sleep: 10hrs

Notes: First day of the program was a success. The max sets at the end of each main lift are brutal and I can see them making us stronger very fast and also a lot bigger. I am going to up my protein intake and begin to drink whole milk again to help with recovery. I will be sticking to a strict 4 days a week of training. M/W/F will be Greyskull and then saturday will be a long bike ride until I can run again and then it will change to a run. Also wednesday will have some conditioning added in. I feel like this is a great long term program for school. I am going to try out MMA, Powerlifting, and rock climbing while I am at school for my new sports. I can't wait to get a fresh start. I move in a week from Friday.
