When I Started:
Jun, 2006
How I Started:
I got tired of sitting around my room doing absolutely nothing. I was always sleeping, always feeling tired and I was eating fast food all the time because I was too lazy to buy healthy food. I wanted to change my life style and my body.
I hurt my shoulder early in 2007 so I fell off the wagon for six months, got back into weight lifting, screwed my shoulder AGAIN playing baseball, so I was out for another six months and now I'm getting back into lifting again.
Why I Love It:
I love the sense of well being after a work out. I was given this body and I believe its my decision and my decision alone to let this magnificent machine lay around and get fat and lazy or get it in shape. I'm choosing the latter.
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking at the various muscle and fitness magazines I own, reading everyday peoples' testimonies, and me being stubborn by not letting failure be an option. I just watched Pumping Iron recently...good shit. It helps going to Wal-Mart every once and awhile and seeing what kinds of people let themselves just.....go...I don't ever want to be like that. Its my body, I have nothing else to call my own so I'm going to take care of it.
Also, feel free to contact me, especially those from the Ft Worth/Arlington area.
BB Accomplishments:
My buddies not wanting to work out with me because mine are "crazy"...
Forum Signature:
Only during magic shows and marine corps working hours are the rules of logic suspended.

This was taken about 30 minutes before I started my weight lifting program.
Gain 5 pounds of muscle by the start of school (Aug) and lose 5-7 percent bodyfat by the same time.
Goal (Long):
I like the New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding workouts and I would like to do them consistantly. I would really like to increase my bench press. I want to bulk up to a nice 240 lbs at 12% body fat sometime in my life.
I have two room mates in my barracks room. There's a bunk bed and a single. I'm on the bottom bunk. So, I'm sleeping soundly in my room when I wake up around 3 in the morning to a big sounding THUMP. My room mate fell off the top bunk in his sleep and broke his toe. I was like "Man,...
I'm extremely new to this body building thing. Any encouragement and tips and stuff would be awesome. I'm sort of shooting in the dark. But anyway, I'm doing the Body for Life program which alternates between an upper body work out one day, 20 minute cardio on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays...
