17 May Brian Carroll – Week 1 of offseason training

This is a great listen. Pretty impressive talk here.

Big thanks to CaptainJacked.com and Inzernet.com for supporting TeamPRS and PowerRackStrength.com!

I’ve gotten fat and out of shape and it’s time to make a change.

Diet never really got on the wagon and I admit it wasn’t priority. Some days I’d eat all day, some days none at all. It was fun and a nice break from being forced by performance contingent upon what I eat, how often and why certain foods each day. Not caring at all about performance potentially suffering took away any sense of eating in a routine of any sort. For me they are tied together.

I needed a reboot.

It may sound weird to some but many are probably the same. I teeter on unbalanced in every aspect, so getting back to training was a nice reset for me, which in theory, will help me get back more normalish and on a more balanced approach to life.

Like I said, I’m out of shape and seeking others in great shape doesn’t make me feel better. Any.

I’ve kept up with my walks but that wont keep me from getting fat or get me unfat.

I need to make it to the gym about 3x per week, so I’m slowly getting there.

Stay tuned for more updates.
