I will give this 100% and push myself to the limit, I am very serious and will be very dedicated.

Just moved into a new house got my own home gym setup, did a 2 week taxing program (high reps very short rest) to get back into things after taking 2 weeks of from moving. In total iv been working out around 3months.

My diet will consist of me basically eating anything i want (obviously clean and healthy) but making sure i get a minimum of 100gs protein per day (i might post my daily intake not sure).

My Goals ~ Im hoping to slowly get to around 190 around spring time my main interest is basketball and improving my overall athletic ability and achieving a 35’ vertical by the start of this summer. All i care about are strength gains.
