Goal: Lower bodyfat to around 15% at the same time building muscle and increasing bodyweight to 195lbs.
It begins...
My name is Mike Boyer II. This log will track my progress over the next few months toward very specific goals. My workout partner will be my father, Michael Boyer Sr.
On February 4th 2008, myself and my father will begin our bodybuilding regiment. Originally my workout partner was going to be my younger brother, but due to a broken back, two titanium rods and eight screws being fused to his spine, he will be unable to participate.
My father and I will have two very different goals with some common ground. My goal is to drop my body fat to around 15%, while at the same time gaining muscle to help attain my weight goal of 200lbs.
Michael Boyer Sr. will have a goal of dropping his body fat to around 18% while at the same time altering his weight down to 220lbs.
We will be logging Days, Times, Exercises, Weight, Reps, and Supplements. We will be checking body fat once a month, but will be checking weight on a weekly basis.
Measurements and pictures to follow.
