I am noticing how much better I feel after I do a hard workout like I did tonight. It wasn't all perfect but I'm trying to push my limits such as with the overhead press and also have a goal to master toes to bar (this is currently messy) as well as muscle ups which I'm learning from another trainer I work with.

I realized in my intro post last week that I didn't name a specific fitness goal. My goals are two pronged: - First I have an action goal to follow Phil's Athlete Training Program through the end of the year. I want to observe the physical and mental changes that take place as a result of sticking to a very regimented plan such as this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSHq-MzvMyY - Something more tangible, I want to be able to do one muscle up by January 31st, 2027 and also a good toe to bar for 5 reps. I am now working with a trainer at my training job whose been teaching me the technique around these. Excited for this new season of growth and positive change.

Took the last week off just to rest my body, clear my mind and to figure out my program I want to follow. Starting tomorrow Monday September 28 I’m going to be 100% committed to my fitness goals! Just turned 34 and 306 pounds with a 2 year old who needs me more than anything I have to get after it, no more excuses.

The only thing that gets you closer to your goal is action
