I was always a skinny kid (165 lbs at high school graduation) and adolescent and wanted to put on some muscle and stay in shape.
Why I Love It:
Working hard makes me feel good. As I have gotten older I have gotten smarter and learn from each workout and each day. I know that when I don't work out I feel like crap.
How I Stay Motivated:
I want to stay in shape and be able to maintain and build muscle from age 50 and beyond. I am currently in the best shape and am the strongest I have ever been.
BB Accomplishments:
I got my wife and son interested. I think my daughter may jump in any time, she is becoming curious.
Forum Signature:
Be patient; the persistent work of a determined individual will bring great gain.
To clean up my diet, continue lifting and incorporate more cardio to bring out more muscle definition
Goal (Long):
I am currently around 215; I would like to maintain my current weight but continue to lose fat. As part of this, with current injuries, I need to design my weight workout to get maximum benefit from lighter weights.

I also try to extend my sets by doing drop sets or X-reps to really feel the burn.8-12 up to 15 depending on the exercise. I have found this range of reps to bring on the best burn and muscle growth.

What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
Mike O'Hearn. He is big and in shape but not overly huge like the Olympia bodybuilders.
I haven't been getting on here as often as I would like, but with the exception of my wife being gone, it has been a good week. I still had one of my lifting parters, my son, so I was good to go. He is 16, and is getting fairly muscular. He has a thin frame like I did at that age but he...
Hi Brady! Things are going pretty well here. A lot of end of the year activities when I had hoped they would be slowing down. LOL. The preparation for the 1/2 is going pretty well. Not getting the weeknight workouts in as I need to, but I'm getting the longer weekend workouts in so I'm happy about that. We're finally warming up a bit out here. With the cold it's felt like Idaho for the whole week! LOL
The back was a little stiff all weekend from the deadlift on Friday, but no pain. I will be deadlifting again Wednesday...carefully. Thanks Brady, have a great day.
