Overall Goal: Welcome to my profile. I hope you enjoy your time here! I'm not available enough to answer questions, but if you have something really pressing, ask it in my Workout Journal.
I putzed around as a kid, maxing out the shitty plastic and cement set my dad bought, then forgot about it until I moved. Fell in with some musclehead nuts, saw Billy "Thunder" Smith in an ad on a beach in some muscle mag and was hooked. Eventually, I sort of fell into personal training and did that for 2 - 3 years pretty heavy, then got out of college and went off to become a rock star. I am debating getting back into personal training once again now...
Why I Love It:
I don't feel right without some kind of training. I like to throw iron around.
How I Stay Motivated:
Every time I step in to the gym or my garage or whatever, I try to outdo whatever I did last time, if it's one more rep or higher weight or harder punches to the bag or faster times on the Air Dyne, I just want it to be better. I am in perpetual competition with myself and not generally a satisfied person.
BB Accomplishments:
I have dropped 50+ pounds while gaining strength 2 successive times. I have maxed out more machines than I can count and have posted faster miles than friends of mine that run marathons. I have personally trained 100+ people, from runners to bodybuilders to "normal" non-athletic types and brought them ALL to success. I can also hang my hat knowing that when I go out of the gym, I have outworked everyone else who was there, sometimes everyone there combined. I have not really worked too much on my maxes, so some of those have just been the highest numbers I've gotten to while lifting. Some are several years old as well...

Welcome to my profile. I hope you enjoy your time here! I'm not available enough to answer questions, but if you have something really pressing, ask it in my Workout Journal.
Goal (Long):
I have a lot of goals. I want to max out all the DBs and all the machines where I currently work out. I would like to be able to develop my Abs to a washboard and then be able to see them someday (I can get flat all day long, but the ripples seem to elude me somehow...). I want to stretch the ever-loving **** out of all my clothing. I want to get to 220 even with single digit bf% and stay there. I am also trying to get 20" pipes.
What should look for in a gym? What should you avoid?
You should look for equipment relative to your training direction. I believe you should avoid anything over $30/month as that is excessively expensive...

How has bodybuilding and fitness helped and/or changed your family life?
These are companies that I have spent extensive time both researching and testing their products on my most valuable resource -- myself. I have encountered zero problems or anything that would give me pause and recommend any of them without reservation. These are in no order of preference; if...
I have a few standard workout programs and cycles. I won't post a full breakdown of the exercises/weights/diets I use because 1) they are constantly shifting and 2) if I get back into personal training, some of this will be part of what my clients will be paying for. So, generally...
Thanks for showing an interest in my thread. I came here to get better acquainted with you, but you sure don't tell us much--no pics, just product reviews in your blog, and sketchy bio info. Why the low profile?
Just been reading your "War against the machines" log. GREAT detail, man! Nice to know that there's someone out there who's as stickler for detail as I am, LOL! Keep it up!
