Packing on the Protein

This past summer, my brother Mitch  and I lived together.  It was great.  I'm out of college, and he is now a junior at Central College in Pella, Iowa.  It's something I didn't expect would ever happen again.  How often do you live with a sibling once you have left your parents house?  I suppose it happens, but I'm guessing most people don't plan on it.  Anyway, Mitch lives in the weight room.  I was 6-2 and scrawny thin.  Mitch put me on a diet of whole milk, peanuts, and protein shakes.  Basically, I ate anything that was edible.  My friend Matt McDanel told us about the gym where he worked out, Accel Fitness.  We checked it out, and decided it was a pretty good deal.  We did squats, overhead lifts, rows, and a little bench pressing.  Three months later I had gained thirty pounds!  I look and feel so much better.  I have more energy.  It was well worth the time I put in.  I am continuing to work out, but I have cut back on my diet.  I still try to keep my intake high, but with less fat.  I started working out with a trainer.  You can check out his website at PaulLatare.com.
