[Name] Jacob/Jake
[Starting point] ±74 kg (164 ~ 166 lbs) in the early phases of growing past probably the worst shape of my life both physically and mentally.
[Current Quest] Trying to get more muscular, leaner, stronger, more mentally engaged, confident, and overall powerful. Basically, in case of an emergency, I want to be able to physically carry my wife out of and away from danger, have a plan of action about the crisis, and look good doing it.
[Skills] Discipline, initiative, and mindset reconfiguration are the priorities at the moment. Physical gains will follow as I learn to put myself together and get through the forging fires of gym and life.
[Why now] Because my wife loves me. I was a terribly sedentary, introverted, nerd but she loves me enough to drag me, whining and pouting, to the gym. And then I realized, a really good way to love her back is to get strong, healthy, sexy, and self-actualized. Wanting good things for myself, nurturing a desire to be a better self, creates fertile ground for my family to grow and bear fruit, specially with a future-proofed body.
