In Pursuit of Not Annoying Everyone on IG, FB, etc

I've spent the last year training sport specific for Olympic style weightlifting and after turning 30 last week, realized I am probably in the worst shape since I joined the Navy almost six years ago.  I have extra body fat, have very little endurance and on some days verge on hypertension.  I have resolved to experiment with my diet and training to produce the fittest version of myself going into my new decade.

I like the idea of a training and diet log, but would like to spare my friends the updates and photos on my instagram and Facebook pages.  This blog will serve as the single point of light for all my fitness things.

I'm sure I'll add to this list eventually, but here are a few goals:

+ body fat ~ 11%
+ 2K row 6:40
+ 10 minute push up test - 200
+ 500m row - 1:25
+ max strict, dead hang, chest to bar pull-ups - 20
+ 225# bench press - 15+ reps

As far as diet, I think I am a little insulin insensitive, so timing my carbs and what carbs I eat will be paramount.  Ideally, I'd like to function with a paleo approach with 1-2 meals a week being re-feed or cheat meals with moderately healthy portions.

I believe part of my tendency towards hypertension comes from my usage of a harsh prohormone in November, fat burners and pre workouts.  I have cut all from my diet.  My supplements will be:

+ LuRong Velvet Dear Antler (2 pills, x2 a day)
+ Fish Oil (5 pills at lunch)
+ Ostarine (a five week cycle)

I may drink a protein shake and creatine on days when I lift heavy, but would like to eat mostly whole foods.

I may post some before pictures if I feel gutsy, but who wants to see my hairy gut?

Okay, follow along if you like and be glad I'm not flooding your IG and FB feeds anymore with pictures of me doing dumb work outs.
