This picture was taken of me just before I started working out. I was 16 years old and weighed around 125 lbs.

This was one of my first progress pictures. At this point I had been working out for 3 years consistently.

Me college roommate and I in a posedown. I weighed 145 lbs. and had been working out for almost 3 years consistently

Picture I took of myself after shaving my chest for the first time.

Me doing a front lat spread the night of my first bodybuilding competition.

Me the summer I benched 300 lbs. for the first time.

Me flexing my chest after a brutal chest workout. This was taken the summer I benched 300 lbs. the first time. Age, almost 30 years old, weight 165 lbs.

Here's a picture of me back when I was 31 years old. I hadn't been eating as much, and I lost a little size.

I took this picture when I was 33 years old, right after my weight hit 170 lbs. for the first time.

My back at 170 lbs.

My torso at 170 lbs.

Me working out on my original weight bench from when I was a kid.

Me doing bicep curls on my original weight bench, using my original weights.

Me at 172 lbs. My all-time heaviest at that time in my life. I really like this picture because I have really good muscle fullness, and am starting to look like a real bodybuilder.

Random photo during my bulking phase the summer before my 2002 competition

Me doing an ab & quad pose the night I won the Men's 35 and Over at the 2002 Gainesville Bodybuilding Championship. I look kinda like Ghandi in this picture. Note to me, "take off your glasses before you go on stage."

Layne Norton (Str8Flexed) took this picture of Ted and I as we were on our way to visit Mitch in Lakeland, FL, I was 4 months out from my 2003 competition.

Relaxed in my garage gym, showing off the "tattoos" (courtesy of Adobe Photoshop).

Finally starting to get back into the game. I'm planning on competing sometime within the next 12-18 months.

Bulking and Hulking... :) The abs are kinda blurry, but they're still there. :)

I love the way my pecs hang with they're pumped. Note to me, buy a bigger bra. :)

I got the hat from the DVD I bought at WalMart. Looks cool doesn't it?

Close up of my 41 year old torso, with some inverse action!

Thought I'd take one progress picture on Valentine's Day. Weight = 172 lbs.

Progress photo from 2/26/2009 (workout at 5:30 AM).

Thought I'd take a relaxed photo today. My max weight was 174 lbs. today (probably due to water).

Not bad for being over 15357 days old. :)

Stupid camera autofocused on my garage door. Oh well... I'll take better pics tomorrow.
