There are only three things I need in life: food, water, and compliments.

Hi Everyone,

I’m a long time follower of many of the logs on here and have decided to start one to keep track of what I’m doing. I recently read the 4 Pillar Plan by Dr Rangan Chatterjee and hope to implement some of his principles outlined in his book.

The 4 areas I hope to track are:
1. Food
2. Movement
3. Sleep
4. Relaxation

Current Stats
Male
Age: 26
Weight:165lb
Height: 6 foot.

Past Training – I did Starting Strength 5x5 a few years back and really enjoyed it. Hoping to get back to where I was in terms of strength when doing that program.

Current Training – Following a fairly rough Push, Pull, Legs split. I try to set up each session to include 5 exercises (2x large compound movements and 3 exercise that are either isolation focused or less taxing.)

Limitations -I have Pectus excavatum. (Pectus excavatum is a congenital deformity of the anterior thoracic wall in which the sternum and rib cage grow abnormally. This produces a caved-in or sunken appearance of the chest.) I got it checked out a few years back. It reduces lung capacity by 10% but thankfully doesn't interfere with heart function. It mainly impacts the right side of my chest. Any exercises that involve pushing suffer as a result. No excuses though. It is what it is and I use it as a motivator rather than an inhibitor as much as possible.

Aims - Gain strength and stay injury free.
