Hello everybody. I figured I would start a journal and write in it as often as I can.
If anybody cares, here's my background.
I'm 5'9, 260lbs (today on the scale), and 24 years old. Right now I work 3 jobs. I work full time for a liquor distributor at nite from 7pm-5am Monday through Thursday. I personal train as many clients as I can at Cardinal Fitness, which usually takes between 15-20hrs per week. My soon to be website is NOBULLFITNESS.NET. I also am a bouncer at a bar. Both the bar and PT jobs are within walking distance of my apartment. So basically, I work a total of 65-70 hours per week.
Most of the days I wake up around 1pm and start training people at 2pm. I leave the gym around 6pm and head to work at 7pm. Some days I'm there till 5, but if we're not busy or busier than usual, add or subtract an hour. Bedtime is usually 6:30/7am after cooking meals, cleaning the kitchen, and showering.
I'm aiming at doing the Continental USA and Atlantic City Amateur. The Atlantic City is the main show I want to do, so if I'm not ready for the Continental, I won't do it. I'll be doing a keto diet and have no idea what I'll weigh. After I strip off a ton of water retention, I have a good chance at sliding into the top of the heavies. 6 weeks 5 days till the Continental and 7 weeks 5 days until the AC.
Here are a few YouTubes that were taken last year before the Indianapolis.
I hope to be a lot harder than this. 233lbs in the video.

I think these were 85's.

A little grappling. My first meet. Still a white belt and very low on the totem pole. I train at Integrated Arts for MMA type stuff and ibjja.com for straight BJJ. Integrated is where Chris Lytle, Jake O'Brien, Dan Christison, and Matt Mitrione train.
