When I Started:
How I Started:
I've lifted off and on all my life. I got serious about four years ago. Joining bb.com in April 2006 jumpstarted me again.
Why I Love It:
I was a skinny, weak kid. I always thought muscles were for "other guys". Now I know the power to be big and strong is in my hands.
I love having muscles! My body is a gift I can give myself to enjoy today and in the future.
How I Stay Motivated:
Flex in the mirror or pull on a shirt that is too small for me. When I see progress, it's makes me hungry for more.
I look at the progress pics others have posted here. I say to myself "I want to do that, and I can do that."
BB Accomplishments:
The stats listed below, especially the 15+" guns.
Forum Signature:
There are no accidents. Everything happens for a reason and usually at exactly the right time.

Beginning of 35+ forum bicep contest. About 14 inches - thought I looked big here.
I think I've grown some guns in the past two years. :)
I want to be 200 pounds of lean, hard, strong muscle!
Goal (Long):
OK, I'm setting the goal high. I'm going to build up to 200 pounds then cut the bodyfat without loosing the weight. I want my veins and abs to show. Add to that 16+ inch arms and muscles that fill my shirts and command attention when I enter a room.
I’m a bit embarrassed to say that I tend to allow myself to be unduly influenced by other people. After my recent triceps injury, and my successful rehabbing while still building muscle and strength, I realized that my goals and training had become a mish-mosh of mass building and...
Currently I'm doing 4 sets of 8-10 reps with 45-75 seconds rest between sets unless otherwise indicated. Warm ups are 15-25 reps with light and medium weight.
Exercises with a "/" between them are done as supersets.
