I was sent 3 pictures of me last christmas, (christmas of 2007). Pictures that showed me what I looked like when i was a bit younger, more muscle, alot less fat. It spoke to me, because when I looked into the mirror I wanted to see the same person I did in those pictures, but instead I saw a blob. My decsion was made then to get back into shape and take controll of my health again and this time to make it a life style change I would stick to also.
Why I Love It:
I enjoy watching as my body goes through the transformation of what it was before I began, and what is is today. Bodybuilding puts the hammer and chisel in my hannds to etch out the masterpiece I see myself to be in the mirror everyday, and then Allows me to put it up for show as I go out and enjoy my life each day.
How I Stay Motivated:
Every week, I get compliments that give positive reinforcement. They come from Family, friends, and Co-workers. Also A ex-girlfriend after giving me the boot even tried to start things back up with me after viewing my pictues I put on my myspace page. She could not beleive the weight I lost and asked If I would consider trying things out again. I smiled, thanked her for the compliment but had to decline her offer. I am the same man i was then when her and i were together, but she never took the time to see through the rough edges. Now that they are getting smoothed out she wants to get back I dont think so.
BB Accomplishments:
My biceps. The were nothing but flabs of fat, and now when I flex my biceps look good.
What is the most dangerous weightlifting exercise? Why?

If not done correctly they can really mess you up from what I have read about them.Personally i have not begun doing them yet but I think any of the exercises that you can do to work and isolate your neck muscle are proubly the most critical.

Arrived early ( 7am) at the gym to avoid the crowd. Worked great. Decided to combine Back and Shoulder routine today and here is what I did and how it worked out.
After a 10 min warmup on the treadmill, I began with shoulders, doing upright rows, 2 warm up sets at 50lbs + bar wt x 8 slow...
This is a work in progress. My body lets me know if The exercises work for me, or are a waste. If I dont get a good pump, or if I dont feel sore the next day at all, then the exercises gets dumped and I begin to find another.
Also to note, I dont just want to bulk up or slim down, but...
