Background

When I Started: May 2004
HOW I STARTED:

I got tired of being the skinny small guy of all my friends. I made myself a promise that when I finished school I would start working out. I did it off and on for a while and started to see some progress. Now I am working hard to make my goal.

WHY I LOVE IT:

Working out for me is a great stress reliever and a way to stay healthy. I decided to take it out on the weights and not on other people.

Finally some Growth

Finally, I can see some growth in my body. RafMorris37, who has been my online coach has been trying to break a brotha. (THANKS COACH) I have gained 3lbs of muscle mass in the past two weeks and my extra tire is coming down. I posted pictures after tonights workout that made my chest, arms, back, lats and shoulders burn, and tonight was just chest night. This short bro is on his way to become 235lbs in no time. At 40 I'm doing this for my health and because I have an active 4 year old that plays soccer, that I want to be around to play with for a long time.

Chest and Back
