Entering the Muscle Tech Contest as of January 1 2010 if I find they have a new one for this year. Will keep everyone updated on my progress flicks the 1st of every month!!!
Was in a major accident. Ruptured both Patella Tendons and could not walk for over 6 months. Legs suffered severe atrophy and bodyfat skyrockited.
Since relearning to walk I have committed myself to the Body Challenge for 2009.
I got started working out when I was 12 years old. I can remember it like it was yesterday. I'd went to live with my dad for a year in Oakland California, which was a big change coming from South Carolina. Food was different and lifestyle was also. In retrospect, everything was better for me as a youngster in that environment with him. I was chubby when I arrived because I pretty much ate everything I wanted and did what I wanted while growing up with moms, aunts, grandma. With dad it was different. Structure. Punctuality. Portion sizes. I remember the day I saw our neighbor working out in his back yard right next door to us. He was on blast. Cut, swole, detailed. I thought he was out of a comic book! I found out many years later that he had done a bid in prison, where he got that exceptional condition from. Anyway, the day I saw him, I was determined to "get big". He use to give my brother and I advice from time to time. Then after a year passed I came back to SC with moms and she bought my first set of 110lbs. weights with a bench. The rest is history.
Why I Love It:
Without the Bodybuilding background I dont' know if I would be mentally ready to make a comeback from such a severe accident.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by striving to get my body/career/financial security back for my family.
BB Accomplishments:
NFPT Certified Trainer for over a decade, although
I have never entered a bodybuilding show.
2010 is my year to enter my very first show. I'd like to do the Georgia State Show this year. I'll keep you all posted on my progress.
I'd like to get my abs back like I had 4 years ago. (see my website).
Drop 50lbs of fat, overall tone back up. My muscle mass is there. Need to be lean again.
My old best was 5% bodyfat at 225lbs.
I'd like to be 5% bodyfat at about 240lbs. or heavier.
She is a regular everyday family woman that has completely transformed her physique into pro material with all the obstacles and stresses of everyday life.
Awesome!
Thank you for your amazing reply and I wish you nothing but total success. Don't hesitate to give me a yell to talk, with questions or anything else for that matter as I would really like for you to succeed and will do whatever I can to be a resource for you.
It is really true, if you believe you will achieve.
I wish you strength and success and may God bless you as you work towards your fitness goal. It is courage, faith, endurance and determination to overcome all obstacles that will build the body you want.
Remember: "Some people use “difficulties” as a convenient excuse. Other people overcome them to go on to achieve their greatest accomplishments in life."
Sorry i haven't gotten back to you bro. Yeah, I've checked in Antonio's page from time to time. the brutha's very consistent to say the least. Let's see if i get showcased like that some time next year. Kids are great. my youngest twins are now a year and crawl after me where ever I go- it's great. Thanks for checkin' in bro.
During prep, w/ the exception of my veggies, I do protein and fats. I usually do oatmeal every 3-4 days. I respond way better prepping this way. Doesn't work for everyone...I've seen some ppl do better on low fats and moderate carbs..I'm the opposite.
nice man. i'm going strong with the cardio, but switched back to power lifting for the next 19 weeks. I'm entering a meet in NJ at the end of January; then i intend to do a bodybuilding comp in May '10.
