When I Started:
Sep, 2004
How I Started:
I took a look in the mirror 2.5 yrs ago and said to myself,"damn bro you look anorexic." After that point I started lifting and taking basic supplements and the passion just grew and grew. It's the best thing I ever did and I absolutely LOVE bb'ing now. I also like the sport and follow the pro's career's.
Why I Love It:
I think Arnold said best when he said that the pump is like an orgasm. I absolutely love the pump. Also, I kinda look at it like an art form. To sculpt and manipulate my body in diff ways by doing diff excercises.
How I Stay Motivated:
Different bodybuilding movies, different songs from Rocky Themes or Different hardcore rock or rap songs. However, mostly after the first month or 2 of bbing and seeing results that's all the motivation I needed.
BB Accomplishments:
Well, I haven't competed yet. However, I take great pride in the fact that 2yrs ago I was 150lbs and now i'm 205 or so. With 7% bf it's been all muscle gain prety much. What's more amazing is I've never been able to eat solid foods. I was born without a small intestine and was in the hosp for the first 2 yrs of my life str8 thru. I was the first person to live without a small intestine from birth. The doctors used a experimental operation to finally get me to live outside of a hosp and live relatively normal. However, this caused me to lose the ability to have solid foods forever. i've never and cant ever eat solid foods. My "food" is this total nutritionshake called osmolite. I've lived on this all 29 yrs of my life. I've never had nor can ever have any solids.. However, it's no big deal to me because I've never had it so I dont miss it. It's as if you never had a brother or a child you couldnt miss them.
