Overall Goal:  My goal is to bench over 400 and build my overall whole body strength. I'm an amature strongman and want to give it hell with every contest and every event.

When I Started:
Mar, 2004
How I Started:
Started back in high school when I was wrestling. I stopped for awhile but then picked it back up after I felt my strength leaving me.
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling it gives me. I love the fact that I don't give excuses or cry anyone a river about why I'm not at the gym. Because I am there. It may sound corny but I even love the pain that I get from it. Lastly, I love looking like a superhero in my childrens eyes.
How I Stay Motivated:
Everytime I see a WSM competition it motivates me. Everytime I hear a kick ass song that pumps through my veins, it motivates me. Every single time someone looks at me like I'm too small or weak to compete, it motivates the hell out of me.
BB Accomplishments:
Finishing my first SM competition. Curling 70lbs Doing over 1080lbs on the leg press. Using 100lbs+ on sitting shoulder raises.

Are you a parent?
Yes
How has bodybuilding and fitness helped you to be a better parent?
It has taught me patience and poise. Bodybuilding has taught me a new level of honesty. Weights don't lie to you. I don't think they're able to and I love them for that. I strive to have that kind...more

Other than the obvious benefits (appearance, health, etc.), how has bodybuilding and fitness improved your overall life?
It give me motivation and clarity in other pieces of my life.
- Updated Jan 17, 2009 11:48am

What do you do before your workout to get motivated and energized?
I get the old mp3 player cranking. I run the routine in my head over and over and then see myself making it happen. Then I give it hell!!!
