Introduction
I am a 40 year old male. Over my lifetime I have been peripherally involved in sports and active life, though I have mostly been fat and likely always over-estimated my activity level.
In 2005ish I found KBs and participated a decent amount on the DD forums. I have read RKBC, ETK, PTTP, NW, and now S&S, and Tracy Reifkind's The Swing!.
In 2007/2008 I had reached my goal weight and felt healthy, strong, mobile and capable. Then... I deprioritized my health and I am sitting at the end of 2021 obese, less mobile, and feeling quite week. I need to change and I need to do it now.
I am equipped with 16 kg, 24 kg, and 32 kg KBs. Those will keep me busy for quite some time. Even back in 2008 I never needed anything more than 32 kg.
I have been doing Tracy R's The Swing for 3 weeks now. In those 3 weeks, I feel my body reacting in all the ways that made me love KBs in the first place.
I also realize that I want/need a log to be accountable, so I registered here and will log my progress over the next years.
Starting weight was 270+ pounds (I feel healthy when I am down to 200ish pounds). My goal at the moment is to reach 220 in one year, and I think that is very obtainable.
My current plan is to do a relatively high volume Tracy R swing routine 3 times a week, and TGUs 2 times a week... Yes I know that is not the S&S routine but I have my reasons and know that I am responsible for myself.
