Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
Brandon
Sex:
Male
Age:
29
Location:
San Antonio, Texas, United States
Occupation:
Servant of God, odd job slave
Personal Website:
Primary Gym:
College:
High School:
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 as a high school senior and did the starving musician thing though, my healthy lifestyle kinda went in a downward spiral. I started excercising again in 2003 and kept in good shape; but I really decided to get back into weightlifting abot October 2007, after my band broke up, I needed an outlet and bodybuilding/powerlifting seemed perfect. Started using protein supps in Dec 2007 to add much needed muscle. 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 through God was the EASILY 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:
In Oct 2007 was about 133lbs Joined bodyspace May08 at 146lbs 14.5%bf(tracker says 8.5% bf, but that was a bad guess) Am continuing to add muscle yet stay fairly lean. Powerclean max- 205lbs x1 rep Barbell Bench max- 245lbs x1reps Barbell Squat max- 295 x1reps Barbell Deadlift max- 320 x1 rep Leg Press max- 700lbs x10 reps Barbell Shoulder Press- 160lbs x1 rep
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.

Goals:
Main Goal:
Gain Muscle
Goal (Overall):
After two months of unemployment, I have a job again! Thank you jesus!
Goal (Long):
My goal is to share the gospel of Christ. That the Lord God is ONE, and His name is Jesus! That salvation comes only through faith in Him, and the faith that only His blood has the power to cleanse sin. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and the wages of sin are death! But the Lord Jesus has conquered death and sin for His people, by becoming flesh to teach us His ways and to offer His body as a sacrifice on the cross, so that those who have faith in Him may be redeemed by that blood. And He did so not because we are worthy...but because God is love! Praise the Lord, for His Love and mercy endureth forever!
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 25 lb
