Dratbone's Base Building and Beyond
Posted: Sat Jun 15, 2019 10:55 am
Hey gang,
Starting my training log here for accountability and any suggestions should anyone have any. Many thanks to those who have posted before me for the ideas and motivation. Background:
47 YO male, 6', 208 pounds. 15 year LEO in my earlier years, along with ARNG (Spoiler and shocker, MP
) in my background. That was probably the peak of my physical state. Throughout school, played football and was an OL, so I tipped the scales slightly north of 300 pounds and "leaned" out in my last year prior to going through BT/AIT. 5 years ago, I was at the 300 pound mark again at the birth of my daughter, made some dietary changes and started walking. Dropped to around 250 and started CrossFit 2 years ago. About a year ago, outfitted my garage gym and started training at home, which I love.
Goals are fat loss, and strengthening my overall general conditioning while maintaining lifting. I don't like running on general principal, but will concede it's extremely useful. Fortunately I've got a rower as well
Edit: Forgot strength goals - leaning towards Operator, with Overhead Press, Front Squat, Pull ups and Deadlift. Overhead needs some work, spending the last 12 years behind a desk coupled with a LOT of computer gaming has definitely made building there a challenge.
