Overall Goal: to be Strong and Fit enough to keep hitting multiple homeruns during softball games to the point where the pitcher just tells me to take first base... (just like i did on Sunday May 31, 2009)
I've always played sport from basketball to little league baseball...I played sports in high school; soccer, basketball, baseball, and golf. I started lifting weights and playing pick up games of basketball in college to stay in shape. I started lifting more then playing ball. i incorporated speed rope into my training and noticed a significant difference in my agility and speed on the basketball court.
There was also a time at the beginning of my sophomore year where i had to physically remove someone from my dorm/apartment so the increased adrenaline made me want more from my workouts, I wanted to be bigger, stronger. And from what people tell me today compared to what they told me in the past... i got what i wanted, lol
Why I Love It:
I love pushing myself ...in the Gym ...even when it feels like I've got nothing left, I know I've got more to give and I am going to keep on going. I love feeling sore in the morning, afternoon, and/or night. Working out is the only constant I have, the only thing that keeps me going that keeps me smiling, I know I've got a lot to learn but I'm always hungry for more, I'm addicted. I can't stop. I won't stop.
How I Stay Motivated:
If I see or hear a worthy quote or song that in some way defines my goals or becomes a mental queue to allow for new ones, or if i happen to come up with one myself, I repeat it over and over and over again to keep my mind focused on what i'm doing.
ALSO...Now that I've been a member of the local YMCA for about a year now...I find myself being some what of a mentor in the weight room. This is a "family establishment" so there are a lot of members here who are young and old whom are always looking to make a small change in their own routine. so they either take what they see from my routine OR go ahead and ask if I know something else they can do. This motivates me infinitely and even gives me a little extra pump for my own workouts.
BB Accomplishments:
One of my friends actually described me as "being obsessed with results" ... I simply told her that "obsession is a word the LAZY use to describe the Dedicated"... That shut her up...lol

Goal (Long):
Gain strength and muscle mass, endurance, stamina, and lose fat.
I want to be bigger(but not too big as i found out, its quite difficult for someone of my size to crawl through a tunnel with full fire gear and air pack), leaner, stronger, faster, all the things I would need to fight fires safely and successfully.
SOFTBALL SEASON 2008!!!!!! Hopefully more home-runs in my future!
Also looking to make some friends on here that can keep me motivated and keep me on track and see if i can return the favor.
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
13%

Final minutes of the workout... Tired, exhausted, and drained.... Muscles already fatigued and swollen.... Thoughts wandering. Trying to stay focused. "YOU CAN DO THIS! ONE LAST SET/ONE LAST REP. GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU GOT!" Vision clears as you get a tunnel vision effect with...
