When I Started:
Jun, 2000
How I Started:
My brother, Martin Ellis Joseph, introduced me into staying fit. He showed me that being healthy has its benifits,and not to mention how many women love guys who take care of their "temples." Since I first picked up a dumbell, I caught fire and kept working out on and off through the years. Now I am serious as ever,and I lift religously.
Why I Love It:
I love it because it IS a way of life.
I am more confident with my body,and it represents who I am and what I live for.
How I Stay Motivated:
God,My wife of course,My father(R.I.P.),and being alongside other individuals who understand the importance of their "temples."
BB Accomplishments:
Brought home 3rd & 4th place trophies in my 1st bodybuilding competition.

This is merely the begining! I am chisiling for perfection.
Here I am at my 1st competition! Look how happy I was to be on stage compared to my competitors!LOL
What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
What motivated me was seeing the sleek, rugged physique of Michale Jai White on universal soldier when I was younger. That guy still takes care of himself to this very day! Rock on BROTHA! I still say no one had abs as good as Carl Weathers did.What motivated me was seeing the sleek, rugged physique of Michale Jai White on universal soldier when I was younger.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
not executing proper movement with too much weight....I THINK I HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!!! LOL
At first I didn't really have a "certain" workout plan. I was a nomad going from one type of plan to the next keeping my body in complete shock to new things. However, I am now currently getting trained by Bill Powell. Thanks to "Wild Bill" I am busting through many plateaus.
It is indeed...
Man, I remember when I got my wisdom teeth removed. Those bastard said I'd be able to go to school that day. Yeah, with a mouth full of blood. I've got some funny wisdom teeth removal stories too.
Things have been coming along slowly but surely for me. Still training hard and crazy and trying to eat everything in sight. Now, if only all the fat would melt off of me and the muscle would pile itself on. :-) He he, its coming along faster than usual though. You back in yet?
CONGRATS!!!!YIPEEE!!! Yeah I know its late but you know im on low carbs lately and I have carbs today so I had energy to give you a cheer-2weeks till PIZZA yeah-MJ-FitChik4Life

Hey Marv, Just checking on those legs from yesterday. They should feel lovely today or at least by tonite. Eat well today you want those babies to grow. God bless and stay focused-14weeks out-MJ-fitchik4life
I know those pull overs are importnant for streching....streching will produce a lot of growth....The one I had bill doing are killer....I keep trying to tell people that you can get killed with a little bit of weight, and you see it is possible.....I hope those abs aren't hurtin too much....
Getting closer to phase one toward competition- your looking good-keep it up-I wish you the very best this holiday season and that your heart be content with the joys that come this time of the year. Blessings to you and your body in 2008- MJ-fitchik4life-Love a priceless gift-that we all can afford.
