Well that wraps up 2001. 2001 was a very good year for me in the gym. I accomplished many things this years as it was the first full year that I was totally commited to the gym. I lifted 5 days per week with minimal down time. I only had one injury this year. I hurt my back doing deadlifts and it took a full 8 weeks to get back to full strenght but hasn't botherd much since.

I started the year off at about 190lbs in january and dropped to about 165lbs in july I am now back up to 175-180lbs and stronger than ever. This summer I was really lean and sacraficed strength for a 6-pack (and it wasn't beer). I am really looking for to 2002 getting bigger and leaner. Hope to see in the pain zone.

One of my main focus area in 2002 will be my calves as I believe they are my weakest body part behind my legs. My upper body is in good shape besides the excess bodyfat but we will worry about that come spring time.

I need Big Cows in 2002!
