In the beginning

To start off with I'm going to try to describe my current strengths, weaknesses and abilities, so I've got a reference point for later comparison.
I've just turned 25 (I'm not sure if this puts me on the back foot already? ah fuck it!). I weigh about 73.5 kgs and am about 5 foot 10 inches tall (I think? I'll have to measure properly one of these days.)

I started goin to the gym about 2 months ago, (nothing hardcore though) so I've got a bit of a head start on this blog. At the gym I've just been mainly on the weights machines and cycling machine, but I haven't been paying any attention to how much I've been lifting or if I've progressed at all, but I have noticed getting a little more "buff" and generally feeling healthier. This may also have something to do with the fact that I've been trying to eat healthier too, and I've started taking fish oil tablets as I'm not a fan of seafood.

I'm not looking to get a whole lot bigger than I already am (sure a few more muscles wouldn't hurt!), but my main aim is to maximise strength and speed but without too much bulk. I feel that as I have a relatively small frame, too much extra size might slow me down and reduce flexibility and movement options.

Speaking of flexibility, I feel that this is definitely one of my weak points. Overall I'm not very flexible, especially my hamstrings, but I've just got to the point where I can touch my toes after a bit of a warm up.

Sample of current abilities:

40 raised feet pushups
6 pullups (palms front or back)
Handstand against a wall
30 situps?
10 ab wheel reps from knees
Monkey vaults
Small kong vaults
Jog for 10 minutes with a couple of 50m sprints thrown in

At this point in time I have no set training routine, but I will look to putting something together soon.
