Hello all,
Right I've decided to start up a journal just for the extra bit of motivation in getting me to my 'cutting' goal which has come around extremely quickly and is now only 6 weeks away!!
Brief History
Okay so i think like the majority of people i love my fast food (maybe a bit too much

) and when i was 21/22 i was hitting 14 stone at 5 FT 11" and eating nothing but junk. I wasn't happy with the way i looked and in beginning of 2007 decided to do something about it! (New Years Resolutions and all) so started to hit the gym at lunch time as and when i could, nothing to serious and as with any young newbie to the gym all i wanted to do was get them 'HUGE GUNS' so to speak and realised after around 3 months why was i not getting 'BIG' all over like i wanted/intended.
So i started doing a bit of searching on the net and came across this amazingly designed web site promising all these results in no time at all and bought into the whole thing (guess which website that was)!! To be fair tho there was 1 bit of good that come out of me wasting all this money on fancy 'Magic' products and that was a designed 5 day routine where i previously did not have a clue. over time I've adapted this to my needs along with the help from members on here!! (cheers).
My Current routine per the below. (now a 4 day split)

Okay so i hope this Journal is a success and turns out to be productive in keeping me on the straight and narrow, I'll be updating this after every work-out session.
