The Chronicles of A Scrawny Boy

I'm your average 21 year old guy- I like to draw, eat sushi, and listen to indie music. In September 2012, I began working out and watching my diet, from which point on my life has never been the same. I hope to continue transforming into the best physical version of myself while documenting it here.

If this isn't motivation, I don't know what is.

DON'T GIVE UP! I know it's tempting and you can go grab a few bags of Skittles right now, but is it worth it?  No. No, it's not.

You haven't come this fucking far to give up now. Suck it up and go through with this. It will pay off in the end.

Got a Spotify Premium account, synced it up with my phone, and created a new workout playlist.  Let's do this shit.

STAY COMMITTED TO THE PROGRAM. DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING GIVE UP. ONLY 80 MORE DAYS AND IF YOU DO EVERYTHING RIGHT YOU WILL LOOK THE WAY YOU WANT TO.  IT WILL BE WORTH IT.

YOU CAN DO THIS. YOU CAN DO THIS. YOU CAN DO THIS.

IF YOU GIVE UP NOW, HOW WILL YOU MOTIVATE OTHERS LATER ON?

YOU'RE NOT A LOSER.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY ATE A LOT TODAY. RUN A FUCKTON OF MILES TOMORROW AND BURN IT OFF.  YOU CAN DO THIS. - My brain.

It's official. I'm going to start my cutting journey now until August 2013, from where I'll begin bulking again. I know I said I would bulk in my first post, but I would really like to lose this fat by summer time. That would be amazing. As a result of gaining this unwanted fat, my self-confidence is slowly depleting. It's time to take action. I hate cardio. I hate counting calories. I hate watching my fat intake. But I'll suck it up to see the results I want. I'm going to do this. My current stats: Weight- 188lb. Arms- 12in. Chest- 40in. Waist- 34in. Body Fat%- 18% I want to get down to 10-12% body fat. That would be something I've never done.  I'm pumped. Here's to 2013!

The UFC Top 8 kick to the head knock outs. Brilliant.

I'm not sure what it is, but there's something deep inside that keeps telling me I can do whatever I set my mind to. I can get the body I want with hard work, dedication, and a controlled diet. I can do this.

The Hodge Twins' four year body transformation.  This is just what I needed to see.

And it begins.

January 1st, 2013.  The new year is finally here. I'm excited for a lot of upcoming things- classes, fraternity business, girlfriend, all that jazz. But this blog is strictly about my body progression, so I'll stay on that. Even though it's only been three short months since I first began working out, it feels much longer. I started off September 2012 with a small chest, 9.5in. arms, and a weight of 182lbs. When I first began I had no knowledge of the human body- I only had the motivation to get a body I was actually proud of. My current stats: Chest: 40in.  Arms: 12in. Weight: 187.5lbs.  My plan is to keep bulking until I'm satisfied with my body enough to begin the cutting process. As difficult as it is to efficiently bulk, the results I've witnessed in the past month of really focusing on it are exceptional.  I hope to look back at these stats December 2013, smile, and be proud of all the progress I have made. I'm investing a lot of time and effort into this- I hope it shows.  To the next step!
