When I Started:
Sep, 1986
How I Started:
I got started working out when I was in high school with a weight bench my parents got me for Christmas. When I went off to college two years later my roommates were all collegiate athletes and they showed me how to up the intensity of my workouts. I've been hooked since then.
Why I Love It:
It's a great stress relief and I like how you can see and feel the results each workout.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated every day whenever I see someone in better shape (perceivedly). I challenge myself to continue to stay in shape, to stay active, to stay fit, and be in excellent physical condition.
BB Accomplishments:
In the first 5 years after I started training I put on 50 lbs of muscle. In the 17 years that have followed I've maintained my weight and bodyfat save for two very short periods of time around two serious injuries.
I think my body is pretty good as it is now but I'd like to make it pop a bit more. At the same time I want to make it functional for competing in sports. I've always wanted six pack abs and I'm close but need a little more work to get there. But I don't want to sacrifice my size or strength to get there. My goal is to get there by summer while also reaping the benefits of being stronger, more agile, and with more endurance.
Why do you like having a workout partner? What are the benefits?
I like having a workout partner because it helps you need motivation and it also helps motivate you to go to the gym when you have someone motivated depending on you to be there for them. It's also nice to have a spotter for really challenging yourself.I like having a workout partner because it helps you need motivation and it also helps motivate you to go to the gym when you have someone motivated depending on you to be there for them.

What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
I try not to but sometimes a little grunt will come out. I'm not really a fan of it just to do it.
Sam Byrd 1050lb Squat at 198lb - New 'All-Time' Wo
Played: 143
Why I like this video: Just because I'm tired of all the Ronnie Coleman feats of strength videos out there. Keep in mind this guy weighs only 198 lbs which is probably about 60 lbs lighter than Mr. Coleman.
Hossein Rezazadeh 280kg/617lb Front Squat
Played: 135
Why I like this video: An Olympic and Powerlifting Legend. Pure strength. No assistants and it's a front squat. Those are extremely intense and at this weight....
Hossein Reza Zadeh 305kg squat
Played: 113
Why I like this video: 671 lbs. No ultra compression weight suit. No knee wraps. No weight belt. Pure strength and power. Not even a spotter. He's a man among boys.
Well, the other night I was looking at my profile and some of the comments on there and realized it has been six weeks since I've hit the gym. At that time I was hard charging too. So, I went from the penthouse to the outhouse in the blink of an eye...figuratively speaking. I've been...
I am sorry to hear that! WE have crap to go thru! Sucks but you gotta push through it and the gym will help. Just tell yourself that you will just go and do 30 minutes and then by the time that passes you will have so much energy you'll stay! You will feel so much better! Wish i could help! :D Thanks so much for the nice words! :D
nah just saw the 7s, rock and republic, and true religion
I'll take a look, but I am also trying to gain a bit more mass. Hope you get back in the kick of things. I am in atlanta if you wanna train sometime.
Do you need me to come kick your butt!! HAHA! SOmetimes though it is good to give your body a rest and then when you do get back in the gym your body totally kicks back into gear and fat starts melting off like crazy! I hope you can find the passion to get back in the gym, just think of how you will feel! :D That is awesome your abs look so great even though you've taken off. I splurged yesterday & had a cheeseburger and fries. YUMMY! :D
Thanks so much!! ;D WHo says you can't work full time, go to school at night and get a bangin body! I am proving it can be done even though some days I want to say F it!! Have you been in the gym lately?
Thanks!! I am really hitting it hard in the gym with weights and cardio(actually just started adding it in. I HATE CARDIO).. but love the weights! YEah I got it colored a darker brown and I love it too! :D
