Hi Everyone,

First off…Just want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!  This is a very popular time in the fitness world as many of us decide that we want to be in better shape for the coming year.

Today my body part of choice was chest.  My workout consisted of incline dumbbell press, pec deck flys, and the Hammer Strength bench press.  I did 4 sets of each exercise and was getting ready to finish off with decline bench press.  That’s when I ran into Mike O’Hearn and he told me I was doing too much.  Seeing that I was feeling a little lazy, I listened to him.

Sherlyn Roy was also at the gym today getting ready for the Arnold Classic in early March.  She’s training hard and looking good.  I believe today she did chest and shoulders and a bunch of cardio.  I’ve trained with Sherlyn a couple of times and I’ll tell you, that girl trains hard!  She put me through some of her routines and I was sore for days!  I’m sure if she ever gets around to blogging she’s going to make fun of me.

My goal for this upcoming year is to get up to the 230 pound range and lean out somewhere to the 215 to 220 pound range.  Given that I was 138 pounds at the same height (6’2) when I graduated high school, this will be a huge accomplishment for me.

Whatever your goals are, I wish you all the best of luck in reaching them and I promise we’ll do our part to help however we can!  Good luck everyone!
