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.

Goals:
Main Goal:
Improve For A Sport
Goal (Overall):
Ab exercises for show....core exercises for dough
Goal (Long):
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.
Weight Goal:
Bodyfat Goal:
8%

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.

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

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
