My dad has been lifting weights since before I was born and I grew up around it. He's competed in bench press contests and Scottish Highland games. Even in his sixties and after a quadruple bypass; he still keeps up with me in the gym.
Why I Love It:
I love seeing the results when I really put my all into it, amazing myself sometimes.
How I Stay Motivated:
Setting and accomplishing goals. Especially deciding to compete, it has really pushed me further than I would have gone had I just kept recreational lifting in the morning.
BB Accomplishments:
Ohio Natural Bodybuilding Federation 2008 Mr. Natural Ohio Contest.
2nd - Novice Over 170lbs
3rd - Light Heavyweight Open
3rd - Masters Division
This was taken before I really understood how important nutrition is to losing bodyfat. I was working out four days a week but still sporting about 20% bodyfat.
To increase muscle density throughout my body by lifting heavy and using compound movements like the squat and deadlift.
Goal (Long):
To increase my lean body mass while keeping my bodyfat percentage relatively low. I am looking to build overall strength as well now that I am competing in Bench Press and Deadlift competitions.
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 8 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
10%
Upcoming Contest:
WABDL-World Bench Press and Dead Lift Championships Las Vegas, NV
Wow, man.
Your contest photos are truly inspirational. Amazing separation and cuts. And I'm glad to see more people on BB.com like you who only participate in Natural bodybuilding events. That's awesome. I see you've competed only for the last few years. Addictive? I'm impressed that professionals like yourself can squeeze in the time. And the food ;-]
Keep up the hard work!
