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.
How I Stay Motivated:
I talk to regular people here and get inspired from the hard work they have put into their bodies to stay healthy, loose weight and gain muscle mass. My buddies Spike06-Bigmuscle1-Watercus-RafMorris37, fellas thanks so much for all the help.
BB Accomplishments:
Just staying with it....

Mike is the big brother that you want..he is bigger than you, but, working your ass off to get you to where he is in good timing. Plus as a brother under 6'0 he proves being short in statue has nothing to do with strength and size..... Great work BIG BRO...

What tips would you give to others to help them stay motivated over the long-term?
Do something every day...walk, run, pick up the weights. I also talk to other bodybuilders that are looking to compete for the fist time and get motivation from them as well.

What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
Garret Downing and Dexter Jackson, we are all the same height and looking at them gives me a perspective of how big I can get.
