It all began when I was a teenager. Due to a pronounced scoliosis, I had to choose between an operation and two years in a medical corset, immobilized from chin to mid-thigh.
I chose the corset.
Two years later, it was over, but I had little muscle left and my back was still a mess. The doctor said I'd never do sports again and sent me to a physical therapist. This one was half an hour late; I left. On my way back home, I saw a gym; I got in. I tried the machines, notably those to muscle up the back. I came back the day after to register.
Why I Love It:
I love to feel my body, in general, and I love martial arts, for many reasons.
How I Stay Motivated:
When I was still competing as a martial artist, staying motivated was easy: nobody likes to lose, above all if it means ending the day at the hospital! Which did happen to me a couple of times. So you train hard, you make each minute count, because in the ring or on the mat, each fraction of a second can make a difference.
BB Accomplishments:
When I informed myself and changed my diet, in December 2003, I gained 9 lbs of muscle (no fat, no water) in three weeks. I could see myself grow by the day. In half a year, I went from 182 to 207 lbs. My best weight was 199 lbs / 3.5% BF, but with my bodyfat that low I had to eat continuously, otherwise I quickly grew dizzy.

I've long avoided posting pictures of my younger self: not only is the quality really bad (try to remember the digital cameras of 10+ years ago) but the skinniness and ... the attitude ... are quite embarrassing. Still, if I took this picture in the first place, it's because I was proud of...
Dig the pix you posted. Gives a broader scope of who you have been, hints at where u are going physically. Hope you are eating big and training hard! I took some new pix, have them posted. Man, I get plump easy! LOL
Hey thanks for the add. Yeah even though that guy was offering steroids to me, I am definitely not taking them right now. I am only 17 and have a long ways to go naturally. Lookin Great!
Oh, man, I am so busted. Yeah, I am ready for new pix, leaned down enough to see if I managed to add any lean mass. I think I will be nice and tight at 175, now at 180...
OOPS! Saw your recent pic. Still an inspiring physique. Hope you are doing a clean bulk and hitting it hard at the gym again. Dig the long hair too, good karma!
Thanx for stopping by. Posting new "progress" pix this weekend. Let me know what u think. You still hardening up fast? Take some pix and show us bro. Cheers!
