Chris' Training: Race to 1,200lbs
A bit of background.
24years old, Male, UK based.
5ft 9"
As of Jan 2013 - 82kgs/180lbs - started around 70ish, in Feb.
I work full-time in an office but have a gym opposite the building so go three days a week after work/weekend.
Body history: I have played every sport you can name, several to county level over the years. Have a long history of swimming at a high level and in the past three years have cycled regularly with a club (since stopped). Overall fitness/musculature not bad but could be better. Generally always been pretty strong for my height/weight - generally in the top 10% of achievers but never number 1.
Workout history: sporadic at best. At school we did 4 hours of sport a day (rugby mostly) so was leaner than big. School gym was non-existant (ofc they have since installed a state of the art gym with free weights, barbells, machines). Following school I went to university and sat around and drank. I started going to the gym in order to train for cycling across France in the summer i graduated. Went from 80ishkg (fat) - 70 in a month or so. Lost a lot of upper body strength in the process of all the cycling.
