OG's Log - (NSFW)
(I threw the NSFW designation up there at the start. You know it's going to come to that sooner or later)
So here is the start of my log for 2007. I started a log for a couple of reasons:
1. Being that this is a fitness forum I should post something related to fitness once in a while.
2. You people will hold me accountable for following up on this (a virtual butt kicking), which is good for me.
3. My posts dropped an average of 1.03275 per day over 2006 so this will bring me back to 2005 levels.
The plan I will be following is the one laid out in The Metabolism Advantage. It's an 8 week program, 3 lifting sessions per week and 3 HIIT sessions per week (BTW, I hate cardio).
[About the Metabolism Advantage. I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I have read a lot of Berardi's material over the years and while this is a rehash of his methods (he's obviously successful so you wouldn't expect many changes in the message) it's Berardi in an easy to use format. You get exercise description, recipes for 40 meals, shopping lists and an 8 week program which lays out your daily meal menu and workout plan. It's really a well thought out book and I think this should be the recommended book to all the new members that come on looking for a diet and exercise plan]
Going forward I'm going to use the next 2 weeks as a sort of break-in period. There are some exercises that I have never done before so I'll practice them over that time. And I'll use this time to get used to the cardio machines for the HIIT sessions (did I mention that I hate cardio.) I'll start this week on working my way into the nutrition plan of the book so I'll be ready when I go full bore with in on January 15th.

Good luck with the program, Bob. Good to see you logging! 
And smart marketing, man. With that NSFW in the title, you'll be getting daily hits from lots of the guys! LOL. Don't disappoint us now! :p

You will succeed.
You will not quit.
You will deadlift.
You will do HIIT.
You will like it.
If you fail in any of these endeavors, I'll have Jenn kick your ass.
You know she can.

I'm sure you're talking about the "after" pics. The "before" shots will just make you sick.

I always keep my boots ready, cause well you never know when you are gonna need them. You know they are dual purpose boots- kicking ass or saving lives. :p
