Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
Patrick Lee
Sex:
Male
Age:
34
Location:
Boise, Idaho, United States
Occupation:
Software Engineer at Bodybuilding.com
Personal Website:
Primary Gym:
Idaho Athletic Club
2340 S Eagle Rd
Meridian, ID
United States
College:
University Of Washington - Seattle Campus

High School:
Eisenhower High School
Attended 1989 to 1993
Yakima, Washington

When I Started:
Sep, 1990
How I Started:
I signed up for Beginning Weightlifting my sophomore year in high school. I had never lifted weights before and I was really weak. However, I kept at it, learned good form, and made some real gains during the three months of the class. I took another class my junior year and then joined the crew team (rowing) in college. Weightlifting was a key component of our training. After graduating from college in 1997, my weightlifting and just exercise in general became really sporadic. I had stints of three or four months where I'd get back into it, but it didn't last. Now I'm serious about getting in shape and staying that way.
Why I Love It:
I'm a very goal-oriented person, so I enjoy participating in an activity that is so easily measurable. I also feel good about my fitness and it's a great stress reliever.
How I Stay Motivated:
I think back to the times when I was really out of shape and vow not to let that happen again. I also want to be a good example to my boys.
BB Accomplishments:
Umm, I'm not a bodybuilder, but I do have a few accomplishments that stand out. In college I could bench press my body weight, squat 1.5 times my body weight, and do 20 pullups. Those are some benchmarks I'd like to reach again.

How does fitness help you with your condition? What do you have to do differently in your program since you have this condition?

How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?
For major lifts such as bench press or squat, I do 4 sets of 6 reps because this is within the range that builds muscle. For supplementary lifts such as pullups and dips, I do 3 sets of 10 because th...more

I hardly noticed that I haven't written a blog post in more than a month.  Time flies when you're having fun, right?  As usual I've been really busy at work, at home, and in the gym.  I'll share a bit about that last item.

After being sick a couple times in March, I've really come back with...

I've been following your stats updates but thought I'd drop a line to see how you think things are going. Your at nearly your heaviest bodyweight - I hope it's solid as you've planned it to be. How're are the new PR goals coming along?

How many pullups are you at now? I've decided these are tough for us tall guys!

Good to see that you're back to 10/10 with your motivation. Great news about your continued PRs too!

Great work on the 1RM maxes (maxs?) and it looks like you're weight is moving upwards again which I'm sure is a good sign. I'm looking forward to the new BBSpace features, too! Keep pushing!

Well I haven't hit that record. Just BodySpace's estimate of my 1RM is over my goal. I want 225 lbs x 5 or something by the end of the year, and it is in sight... Thanks for the comment...

It's like we are twins right now. I hit the gym today too and it was "decent". It was a good step but still not 100%. Feeling better though!
