In my blog website, I will be tracking down my progress in the gym. I started getting into weight lifting around late March 2018, but didn’t get serious until around June of the same year. As I am well past the six month mark, an amount of time that many people usually cannot stick to without quitting, I will use this website to only further motivate me to continue with my lifts, while also helping me to advance my skills in presentation and website building.
Besides documentation of my workout routine and schedule, I will also feature images to help show and emphasis my points. These images will range from personal images to random images found on the internet, like the two images featured on this blog post. This brings up the issue of copyright law into question, but, according to Columbia University, “pieces of a work mixed into a multimedia” are usually looked upon favorably by both original authors and the courts. For those who might reference or use my work and research in the future, do not worry, as I am in favor of Creative Commons; I “want to give people the right to share, use, and even build upon” (Creative Commons, 1).
In the next few months that I use my blog post, this website will be used for a multitude of reasons, mainly learning. Hopefully that learning will be on both ends; my readers will learn interesting tips for lifting weights, especially if they are fairly new to the activity like I am currently breaking out of, and for myself in presenting pleasurable and informative content.
As for the next few content creations I release in the next few posts, expect to see back stories, recommended starter programs, and maybe even some diet and bulking/cutting/etc. tips. Stay tuned everyone!
