Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
Sex: Male
Age: 47
Location: Oregon, United States
Occupation: Corrections
Personal Website: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread .php?t=107614661
Gym: TKD
Gym Location: Oregon
When I Started: Jan, 2005
How I Started: I changed from Aerobic Printing Pressman to Correctional Officer. The Weight started to Magicly make my clothes uncomfortable. So I join a Martial Arts class and made it only once a week with my schedule.
Lifting added a new sport that can be done on any (free time) several times a week
Why I Love It: The Disicpline for me to work out at home, beach, or any 20' square is to stay in shape and not let being 47 years old an excuse to be LARGLEY out of shape. My Love handles are my check point to increase my easy work plan.
How I Stay Motivated: I want to stay healthy and physcialy capable to respond to a hostile inmate while on duty.
Making new gains is another "Pump"!
BB Accomplishments: Perform 90 GOOD push ups for Martial Arts Rank promotions. I have earned 4 colored belts and have 5 to go till black belt. I have won 3rd place twice in Colored belt fighting contest. While only have entered one fighting Tournement. I fought in 2 age Divisions, over 18 and 35 to 50. Bumps and Brusies are my Victory Tokens. The Trophys are reminders of the endurance.

Do you currently have a workout partner?
Yes
Why do you like having a workout partner? What are the benefits?
She is my Wife, and I huff, and I puff, so I can blow her house down.

What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
Thats their thing. I just suck air in and push air out loudly. I guess I like the head rush of flooding my blood with oxygen.

Do you socialize while at the gym?
Yes

Thanks for the reps. You have done some great work. Arms look strong. It's great to know there are others who didn't start until their mid-40's.

oh god I can't believe it has been over a year.... actually saddens me. Feel like I have wasted alot of time! Oh well at least it gives me a reality check :) Yep jeans are looser, muscles are bigger but still have the fat that I haven't been able to lose, bad bad diet sometimes. Well that is what I will be working and I will get there, at least I have my training down pat :) Another year from now and it will be 6 pack abs. yay!
