I was the "proverbial" fat kid during my middle and high school years and it took me so many years to finally gain the confidence in myself and get my butt into the gym. Once I started, I didn't stop. It's a great rush.
Why I Love It:
The rush. The feeling of the weight in your hands/legs questioning "Can I do one more?" and that's when you push out two more. The ability to see that it's merely weight is something I love about working out. It's just that; weight. Weight lifting is a mind game. It's telling yourself "YES I CAN!"
How I Stay Motivated:
The way my body feels inside and out when I maintain a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, I've been on about a five-month hiatus and it took me getting a job at BB.com to finally get off my lazy butt!

Good thing I had wicked growth hormones! No supps needed, that was all natural!
Stay disciplined and motivated! I want to reflect in the mirror who I am and how I feel inside. I don't care for lifting heavy weights, I care more a good, clean, cut physique which is obtainable through intensity not volume. We will see how these next eight weeks pan out!

Weighed in today...Gained 7 pounds in about 26 days! Been eating clean so that can only mean one thing....7 pounds straight muscle! This stack is some serious stuff and I'm lovin' it! Can't wait to report back next month!
Hey man! I wanted to say I am gonna miss you. Even tho we didn't really work together, you kept me laughing. Take care and I hope things are looking better then they did!
derek now that i've gone back to school i never see you! i'm devastated! luckily we still have weekends right? i will bring you some smarties! how was your labor day?? i spent mine eating candy and watching movies- jealous???
Yeah Ive been hitting up IAC recently. I already see some muscle growth! It's awesome. It's great how much supplements you can get for way cheap working here. I'm taking over my parent's pantry with all my supps. We should work out together sometime if we ever have a day off on the same day. Im off Friday or Saturday this week. Take care man!
Hey man! Hope you enjoyed your workout and are getting some rest. Do you think you'll be able to switch for tomorrow and Saturday or just Saturday with me? Thanks Double D and have a great night!
I have a little girl, 7 years old. I think there is a pic of her and I on our horse in my photos. She is built like me, long! she loves being tall, all my girlfriends are pretty tall so for her it is natural. Are you into short film movies? gotta run and eat! LOL
I can see you accomplishing that! It would be a great look for you! Just do it.
I am doing FAME nationals in Canada. I am tall and slight so I entered the fitness model tall (duh!) and Fitness model masters ( I like to call it the old lady league) LOL! So hopefully I will do well. I want to place better than last time. I am training hard and hopefully gained some size in the off season.
