This is my transformation journal. Before this, I was in the worst shape of my life. This journal is meant to inspire. I hope to be able to look back on this, see my progress and achieved goals and use that to push myself on. Mainly this is for myself but, if others stumble across it and it helps them out, that's great too.

My golfer's elbow is getting worse... Gonna be taking it easy for a while. So bummed out by this because I really want to work hard and I feel like I can't. Got some advice from Sean and Jason about this so I'm hoping to employ it and hopefully make some progress in recovering. We'll see.
Anyway, workout today was:
Bench / Pullups
21-15-9
Bench press - 135
Pullups
Due to my elbow, I substituted double unders instead of the pullups.
------------------------------------------------------------
Evening double:
Tabata pushups
Tabata straight arm tucks (working towards planche)
Tabata L-Sit - feet rest on floor but butt is off the floor.
Tabata flutter kicks lying on my back

CROSSFIT WORKOUTS 12/02/13
I've been doing crossfit since the beginning of December with Jason and Dave in Jason's Garage. Before that, I had done 3 weeks of working out on my own. I don't have record of the workouts that I did on my own but I have recorded my Crossfit workouts. I will be posting all of those and keeping record of all future workouts.

WORKOUT GOALS
I've been working out now for just over 2 months. I started in mid November doing my own thing then did CrossFit with my buddy Jason in December and now we are almost done with January. I am starting to notice results. I'm starting to have a little more muscle on my body. Most importantly, I'm starting to see progress towards my goals. Speaking of goals, here is my current list:
- front lever
- windmill
- bar muscle-up (kipping)
- bar muscle-up (non-kipping)
- tumbling double back somersault
- full planche
- back handspring*
- standing backflip*
- dunk*
- 2 handed dunk
- dropstep dunk
- 2 handed dropstep dunk
- stalder press
- human flagpole
- under 6 minute mile
- squat max = 400lbs*
- bench max =225*
- 1 minute handstand (no arch)
- 1 handed handstand
- handstand up stairs
- handstand down stairs
- gain weight to 185 lbs keeping under 5% body fat*
This is just a brainstormed list and I will be adding to it. The asterisked items are things that I used to be able to do but no longer can. Also, I need to weigh myself. I believe I'm at about 170 - 175.
