Overall Goal:  Most important, I'm a Self Body Builder not a Competing Body Builder. My goal is to see what i can mold myself in to.

Motivation Level: 8/10

When I Started:
May, 2008
How I Started:
I was tired of being the rutt of the group (family) i looked up to my older brothers who worked out all the time.
Why I Love It:
It's the best. Keeps me healthy and strong like a shark..haha. The awesome pumps i get after each set. I've been seeing alot of improvement over the last few months since i've started. This site is one of if not the greatest motivation site on the internet ever. I'm tryin my hardest to accomplish my goals.My goals are never ending....there's always one after another.I truly love the sport and i've incorporated it as part of my life.I couldn't be more happier than being in a gym where i'm in my total element.
How I Stay Motivated:
knowing i'm doing this for myself and seeing how far i can push my body. The people here on Bodyspace are my other source of motivation. Motivation is second nature to me....it's just there....more of is just a bonus. I don't take anyone or anything for granted. Life is short and i want to see what is out there and the best way to do that is to be healthy: physically and mentally.
BB Accomplishments:
Will help me excel in PT training when i join the Army oh yeah...made up this tongue twister ~ see if you can say it a few times without messing up. 'Country Chunky, Chunky Country, Country Chunky , Chunky Country girl'..

Goals:
Main Goal:
Gain Muscle
Goal (Overall):
Most important, I'm a Self Body Builder not a Competing Body Builder. My goal is to see what i can mold myself in to.
Goal (Long):
It seems that i'm finding myself at the gym most of the time after work. I have many goals and i'm trying a few at a time, that way i don't lose focus. My goal this year 2008, is to build more muscle and sort of lean down but not too much before summer. I've never taken supplements and don't plan to in the future. My goal is to weight train 100% natural.Nutrition for Health and Fitness was one of my majors in school. I've been applying what i've learned to my training and diet and so far it's been awesome! I can't believe the results i've been seeing. My friends and others ask me all the time what supplements i take. I tell them 'zero' nothing. I just eat the right foods and listen to how my body responds. Again, Most important, I'm a Self Body Builder not a Competing Body Builder. My goal is to create myself for me. It's my hard work to judge. I believe Everyone is a champ in their own right. No one can take that way from you.

You work two major muscle groups in 1 day? I'd split those up bro, much better results. By time you work one of the major groups properly, you are glycogen depleted and the next group will suffer and the first does not start recovery as fast. Just my opinion. Im not doing much today, work is extremely busy and I think Im taking today off the gym. Down another pound today so Im really enjoying the new diet and routine.

You speak the truth homie the more you eat the harder you work out. I have been trying to go hard this week hopefully I can tell the difference. I got my spin class in the morning and looking forward to that burn some more calories. I’m sure your doing your thing congrats with the putting on size def. You’re a beast guy and keep putting in the hard work it’s all for a good cause. Hey hope the rest of your week went well for u and take care def will catch up with you!

I think Thanksgiving got the best of me not sure how much damage i did haven't stepped on the scale yet. I did do some cardio this weekend elliptical and ran some games of bball.This week to try and recoop some I'm hitting spin class in the morning. Probably hit full body the rest of this week and double up on the cardio with 2-a-days I fill terrible right now!. Sorry about your calve try not to over work it make sure you rest it. How is your week looking with training and all?

Things are going pretty good, just coming to the end of this little bulker I was doing. I think Ive added about 4-5lbs in the last 3 months so I'll work with that and I'd like to start cutting again when I get back from Vegas next week. I dont like walking around with this extra weight, I want to get back into single digits again. Roughly 14-15% now.
