When I Started:
Jan, 2006
How I Started:
I started through sports in high school, and have continued off and on with varying degrees ever since. Over the last year, lifting has become more of a habit, and it drives me crazy if I miss a workout!
Why I Love It:
It's for life. I like feeling good, getting shape and knowing that I can continually improve for years to come. I get a huge kick out of the fact that my kids think I'm the strongest guy in the world (which I'm not).
How I Stay Motivated:
The people here. In the short term, the feeling that I won't be at my best and that I'll lose my progress if I don't push myself hard every day. In the long term, the idea that I'm extending the years of being able to actively enjoy life with my wife and family.
BB Accomplishments:
Making the Most Popular Profiles List (at #1,520 - HA!).
