Fit Status:
I am trying to lose my gut and the area around it.
I was working out in the military in the early 80s but wanted muscle to help me in my present career as well as for my self-esteem. Back in 1984 I was running 10 miles a day, 6 days a week and was only 150 # wet. Injury after injury plagued me and it was highly discouraging.
I started lifting in 1995 in my fire house. Overuse took over and I was injured from too many days of pyramids in bench pressing. I succumbed to the injury and would have surgery almost a year later. I never wanted to look at weights again.
I started working out again in 2003 after a 7 year break from it since I had to deal with shoulder surgery in 1996.
Why I Love It:
Setting the standard of fitness in my occupation. I need to be healthy as I get older and I need strength for my job and self-confidence for day to day life.
How I Stay Motivated:
I use this formula: Desire, Discipline,Delight.
Desire to work out.
Discipline TO work out.
Delight in the results.
BB Accomplishments:
My chest is really cut now and my shoulders have followed suit. Legs are following now.

Goal (Long):
Bigger biceps, W I D E L A T S, very cut quadriceps, tight glutes, narrower waist tapered to around 31" , with a weight of 165# wet.
He ran cross country. I ran long distance when I was his age. Now he is doing what I wish I had done at his age. His photos inspire me to push harder in the gym. He is in the U.S. Army National Guard and keeping himself in top shape. That speaks volumes. I wish him all the success possible in his personal training business vision.

My fire department battalion chief shared this with me this week. I am passing it on. These firefighters are in top notch shape and are on an all-vegan diet. The gray haired fireman impressed me.Those air packs are heavy and he does pull ups with one on his back.

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting me on your most inspirational list. I am incredibly humbled by your wonderful words and will do my best to live up to them. It is people like you that keep me inspired as well as allowing me to believe that I can make a difference in people’s lives.
Stay strong, focused and determined and may God bless.
Hey Steve, thanks a lot for all your kind words. It really means a lot to me to know that I am inspiring others. I think you look awesome for 49 and know that your going to look even better at 50. As for the youtube videos, I am actually going to start getting on that with a buddy of mine. Hopefully I can get them up this month. Keep in touch and let me know if you ever have any questions or anything. You Rock Man, keep on putting out those flames!
