"I hope that I may be able to glorify God through my lifting and hopefully show others the love of Christ. I just finished my first competition with an excellent Christian run organization. It's time to recomp and add more mass for next time."

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Adam
Sex: Male
Age: 23
Location: Georgia, United States
Occupation: Med Student/Personal Trainer

Gym: The Omni Club
Gym Location:
When I Started: Mar, 2004
How I Started: I worked out all through High School and I got very strong and heavy(225lbs). The problem was that my diet sucked. When I started College, I stopped lifting and kept my poor diet. After a year of getting fatter, I looked in the mirror and saw a fat, 235lb mess. I decided to lose weight and I did so the wrong way all the way down to 155lbs. All the muscle I used to have was gone and I was a skinny guy with no muscle. Right then and there I decided to eat right and do what I could to get a good body. I got back in the gym and started reading articles on bbing.com.
Why I Love It: I'm completely addicted to it.
How I Stay Motivated: My friends, both on bodyspace and at school, keep my spirits lifted with compliments and they keep me wanting more. Good competition between myself and the guys at the gym helps. I competed for the first time on July 21, 2007 and now I am more motivated than ever to improve my physique. Above all else, I want to make my body as fit and healthy as possible and do it all for God's glory.
BB Accomplishments: 5th in my first competition.
Forum Signature: Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another.
-Proverbs 27:17

"But we know deep down that the perfect body or ultimate personal record can never really be achieved, because our imagination always sets the goal a step or two or three ahead of what we've accomplished. And we also know that the universe is merciless enough to give us a few physical challenges that we won't be, can't be, prepared for." -TC

Just Freaking Gross
Christmas 2003, Freshman year of college, I saw these pictures and decided I was tired of being fat. Lost all the weight the wrong way so I lost all my muscle too. 240 lbs here and then went down to 155 lbs.

   This is by far the most arduous semester I have ever had to endure.  I have a lot on my plate so to speak.  I am not trying to complain by any means, but rather I am just enlightening any readers as to why I have been relatively silent on Bodyspace the past couple of months.  Currently,...
