"To live every moment for the Lord Jesus Christ and put him first. To do the best I can, and to one day be a bodybuilding CHAMPION!!!"

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Brandon
Sex: Male

Occupation: artist,musician, odd job slave

Gym Location: San Antonio, TX, FM78
When I Started: Jan, 1994
How I Started: I got into weight training for football as a teenager and fell in love with it. When I started a rock band and did the starving musician thing though, my healthy lifestyle kinda went in a downward spiral. I started excercising again and kept in good shape for the last five years; but I really decided to get back into weightlifting only a little while ago(December 2007), after my band broke up, I needed an outlet and bodybuilding/powerlifting seemed perfect. However, i didn't join a gym 'till April 2008 and decided to get REALLY serious!

For years I suffered from soul cushing depression and a drug addiction, body building gave me a new direction but it wasn't until I was baptized in the name of Jesus in June 2008 that my life truly began. Deciding to live for God was the best decision i ever made!
Why I Love It: I love the feeling of being strong when lifting heavy. Especially being a smaller guy, even though I'll never be massive, I can still be pound for pound as strong as I a human could be. I also am into comic books, to be built like one of the x-men is a nice bonus.
How I Stay Motivated: I hate feeling lethargic and weak. God gave me a great athletic body and the love and passion for lifting; it would be a shame to let it go to waste. To me it, it's part of the beauty of life.

All the wonderful comments and encouragement from the people on bodyspace!
BB Accomplishments: No body building accomplishments, but I do squat 350 now with no weight belt w/ my weight in the low 140's, something I'm a little proud of. Having 270lb mastodons call me a "bad little man" in the weight room.:)
Forum Signature: Life is very beautiful! I owe all that is good about me and my life to the Lord Jesus Christ...without Him I am nothing.

Bi B! Thanks for asking ;) training has been pretty good however my "clean eating" had some interruptions due to visiting old friends and several celebrations. I'm starting to really focus on the newly adapted "Body for Life" method. Have to add an extra omph since my weight isn't moving for a while. How about you? looking good as always.

Thanks Brandon. I managed to drag myself into the gym and did just weights but no cardio. My lungs are killing me cuz they're so congested. I'm feeling kind of skinny and weak.

Yeah that is my goal also, but it is hard when you work all day and have a wife and children that must eat to schedules. I am learning though amd my meals are shrinking and my protien shakes are making up for the other two meals. I agree with you to live all things through Christ. Amen .
