Figuring out my personal inquiry has been a challenging process. Formulating a game plan, branching out to try new experiences and thinking how this will relate to the curriculum all had to be considered. I was determined at the beginning of the semester to maintain a consistent exercise regime and I am hoping that blogging will increase motivation and accountability. Over the course of the semester, I plan to give updates on how my powerlifting program is going, any new recipes that I try for gaining mass, the struggle of balancing rest and daily exercise, and any other findings that I deem important.
