Background

When I Started: Jan 1998
HOW I STARTED:

I never really touched a weight until my freshman year of college. A friend from my dorm (Todd) convinced me to lift with him a couple of times per week. It did not take long and I was hooked!

WHY I LOVE IT:

I love bodybuilding for many reasons. It has taught me to push my body beyond my limitations. It has taught me that anything is possible. Transforming my body has allowed me to inspire others. I love moving heavy weights. I love feeling sore and crawling out of the gym! Bodybuilding has brought me new friendships, greater confidence, and better health.

Another monday...

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:16pm
It's time for arms again (biceps / triceps). I had a great weekend... but I did not eat as well as I should have. I missed a few meals yesterday. But I am now back on track. It is already turning out to be a busy week. I will be changing up the order of our exercises today... We will probably start out with incline curls and superset them with decline, close-grip bench presses. See ya at the gym!

Shoulder workout was short - but intense

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:16pm
So I hit shoulders pretty good yesterday. I started out with some heavy, seated dumbell presses. We superset these with standing barbell shoulder presses. After doing about 10 reps with the 85's... I struggled to get 6 reps with 135 on the bar. My shoulders were fried! I also did a bunch of lateral and front raises. And I hit the rear delts good too. I had to be back to work by 1 pm for a meeting... so I did not have a lot of time... but it was still a good workout. Today is back day. Heavy deadlifts and heavy bent-over rows are always the foundation of my back workouts. I have been increasing...

Leg day was great

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:16pm
I had a pretty intense leg workout yesterday. My squats were great. I felt strong - and my knee felt fine. Here's what my workout looked like: - Heavy barbell squats - Stiff-leg deadlifts - Front barbell squats - Forward lunges - Heavy leg presses - Lying leg curls. I had a great pump in my legs and I could barely walk up the stairs to the locker room. I ate pretty good yesterday too. The only thing I am lacking now is sleep. I will probably need to catch a nap when I get home from work (because I am beyond tired). Today is shoulders. See ya at the gym!
