This was before the weight training got serious and I was weighing about a buck 37 then. Pulled this one out of the archives...I am still slim thanks to genetics but dayum I was frail lol.

Good improvement on the tri's as well.

This pic was taken 6 months after beginning my routine weight training and long before the wrestling began.

After being underway for months I was getting back into wrestling shape. Here, I was still accustomed to the same weight routine that didn't work those muscle required for wrestling.

not too much progress in the mid-section but, I was working on my chest a bit more.

only one week into this strength building routine I am following from Men's Fitness. Very nice!!!

The other side...

Beginning to slim a little more in the waist and define those abs.

bear with me on the quality of the pics...I am my own photographer and motivator lol. this is the first time that I have had the opportunity to post a pic of my back, and also, see the definition forming in my back.

I see an improvement on the abs from the last ab progress pic. Results: decent rest, clean eating, burning cardio sessions with the waist trimmer and repping out crunches and etc. throughout the course of the day. More work to follow.

in due time...I will have someone to take a pic for me to post a front and back double bicep pose.

End of deployment progress pics! I am pleased.

The Meal Replacement Plan for when the going gets rough on the ship!!!

it's been a long time coming and thanks to the flu bug and allergies I have been staggered in my exercise for a little while...Recovery is my middle name lol.

The latest addition to my workout craze...the WeightVest! Thanks to Jeff Egbert running never felt so progressive.

Cool out after the burnout!

I am just trying to be somewhat consistent with pics but I don't want to get so involved in pics that it takes away from the goals! I am on some other stuff!

CH-CH-Chillin!!!

I rarely train my legs with weights because I spend a great deal of time running.

I am hoping to post a video of me performing this exercise with the weight vest on!

Pic blurred because I am actually performing the push ups.

I remember when I used to be stuck at this position trying to perform this exercise lol.

Mid way thru the rep.

ending a complete rep for the 3x7 sets.

First time I have advertised the legs.

In my house...had to throw a recent one in there

Fresh out of bed!

0800...excited and it's 30 mins until the run begins!

-0752am...before the 5k run.

after 21 mins of running and shopping at the NEX(20% off for all running shoes...thaz right!) I earned my shirt. An officer from my ship took the gold running a 17:43...in a lot of due time. Sub 20 mins is indefinite for the July 25th run!!!!!!!

Just an old pic with my "lil sis" that I served with on the Mustin.

Rebuilding phase

Just perfect push ups, ab exercises and running on the beach.

This was taken when I as at home on leave with just just calisthenic and cardio for upkeep.

Nearly one week into the routine and my body is more sore than it's ever felt. Progress in the next month.

Some updates from getting back on track after deployment. I was measured for the Navy NSUs...41" chest and 30" waist. Glad that I improved on chest lol.

arms have grown.

nice abs from 3 sets of 10 dragon flags, reverse crunches and hanging leg raises...still a work in progress.

Some bicep improvement

Been hitting the gym hard since I moved to Goodfellow AFB over the couple of weeks.

Just a front shot, shoulders shrugged.

Good improvement on the tri's as well.
