April 8th, 2008 was the hardest workout of my life, to date.

I'm not kidding. It took every ounce of my resolve to finish it. But finish it I did. And I am proud of that. It was my first Hypertrophy 1 B workout from The New Rules of Lifting. I had to take longer breaks between sets than I am used to doing to regain my breath, sweat was pouring down my face, and at the end I almost got sick. But I finished.

Now it is 3 hours later, and I feel great.

Today is the day I make a training log, and stick with a routine for a long time.

My Story:
I am 27. I've been "active" my entire life. I've belonged to one gym or another since I was 17. Some months I make great progress, some months I barely maintain what I had, and other months I forget to workout. I played sports all of my life college. I am lucky that I've always ate healthy and prefer clean food(thanks to my parent's influence).

Recently I decided I want to be a monster. Not a steroid fueled, bulging monster, but rather a lean, fit, 30 pullups at a time, kind of monster. I want to be in great shape. During the last 3 months, I've been making gains better than I ever have. I don't skip workouts, and I "try harder" while at the gym. A month ago I bought NROL and read it cover to cover in a day.

A month ago I could honestly say that I'd never ever done a deadlift, and I hadn't squatted in years. Now I love them.

So here we go.
