The gym - it's my time to be selfish. The feeling of reaching a goal, pushing up one more rep, feeling the bar bend in your hands or on your back because it's loaded with plates, hitting a personal best, or leaving the gym so utterly exhausted you're unable to walk correctly... what's not to love?
How I Stay Motivated:
Step 1: Set goal.
Step 2: Bust your @$$ to attain goal.
Step 3: Reach or surpass goal.
Step 4: Repeat.

What -JB- Is Up To:

-JB- changed Weight from 238.4 lbs. to 236 lbs., a 2.4 lb. loss in 115 days - 11:55 am - Comment
This is me when I was going through a very long and difficult divorce. My divorce diet consisted of anything I could afford - which wasn't much at the time. Started training about a year and a half after this pic was taken.
245lbs - getting thicker in the midsection, but MUCH stronger in all my lifts (not sure why the pic is so tiny... oh well - click for bigger image).
What type of outfit do you usually wear when you workout? Why?
T-shirt and shorts - whatever's clean. It's not a damn fashion show.

What type of person at your gym annoys you the most? Why?
Those who do not have the discipline to accomplish their own personal goals. False commitments = lies. I hate liars.

What should look for in a gym? What should you avoid?
I avoid mirrors and 'pretty' crap. If a gym has a smoothie bar it's usually too prissy for me. I don't need the newest equipment. Give me chalk and heavy, rusty iron.

Every couple months a group of fitness-oriented people get together at different gyms around Cenral Florida. The next meet will be in Lakeland. Here's the link:
Hello
I am Miss Flora, 24 years of age,single(never married).
I am self assured girl with a huge sense of humor. I am sincere, honest,easy going,sensitive, passionate,romantic,caring and God fearing.
l just saw your profile and became interested in knowing you more, l will be happy if you contact me through my email address(florajonson5@yahoo.com )so that i will tell you all about me and also send my pictures to you.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
sup man hows the training going? how many grams of protien do you take post workout before the post workout meal? and how much at other times during the day???
well, after taking a few months off from powerlifting im going to give it one last good run and see if my tendons hold up. looks like your deadlift is doing great.
ah man I'm not so sure about my lifts recently. With the move and all not to mention little food i've shrunk to 188lbs. somehow I'm still holding onto that 500lb deadlift even at this weight and my squat is still good around 455 or so. I know my bench is dead, my wrist won't let me handle 275 without extreme pain.
Well, I take super pump, but its been about 6 weeks and its kind of losing its kick. So I thought I would use something else for a while. Can you suggest anything?
