Hello! I went to med school with the boys of BBM and have been drinking the BBM/SS kool-aid on/off since 2012.
I tend to forget to log but would to do so for 2 reasons: 1) long term documentation purposes 2) receive assistance and assist others along the way.

PAH (PAST ATHLETICS HISTORY)
–Historically all over the place in terms of athletics – varsity offensive lineman in middle and high school football, but was too small/underweight to play college (probably a good thing)
–Use to run, a lot, until I ran a marathon, got injured and started cycling – raced road bikes infrequently as a collegiate club athlete, still love recreational riding of all types these days
–Started weight training (outside of my off-season stuff from football) in med school while I attended classes with the legend himself, Dr. Baraki
–Gained ~30 pounds in med school of muscle and fat, trained up to a competition where most of my PRs were made
–Took a short hiatus on/off during family medicine residency, now that I’m graduating getting back into training on a regular basis.
