Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:	Lew
Sex:	Male
Age:	49
Location:	Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
Occupation:	Maintenance Planner
Personal Website:	http://www.lewbenevento.com
Gym:	Gold's
Gym Location:	Salt Lake City
When I Started:	Apr, 1987
How I Started:	I was always this skinny guy in High School back in Maryland where I grew up. I was slated for Soccer because of my size but wanted to play football. :) I had a hard time feeling very good with myself so after HS I decide to take up Karate (that should do it!) Well after years of this stuff I got my Black Belt and then another one a few years later. I still didn't feel like I wanted too, because I was in better shape, but I would still pull muscles, like my back just taking out the garbage at a ripe old age of 27. So I got tired of the way I felt and I hated the way I looked in the mirror.... It wasn't until I hit the gym seriously (I used to go to the gym a little but...), that I started to make progress and I felt tons better. I gave up on the cardio (advice given by a semi-pro BB) for a few years. And started eating "right" for "growing" and now I finally have what I have always wanted. Confidence and "the Fountain of Youth" (or as close to it as one can get :)).
Why I Love It:	It gives me so much energy and I love sculpting my body to what I want...
How I Stay Motivated:	I feed off of other people's energy and compliments. And I love working on improving what I have control over.
BB Accomplishments:	Placing 2nd in 2009 NPC Utah Spring Classic Senior Master Division 3rd in Heavy Weight Open Class Division & 4th in Novice Heavy Weight Division Became a BB/Fitness judge 9/08 (judged NGA, NPC & ABA/INBA) Placing 1st in 2008 NPC Utah Spring Classic Senior Master Division & 3rd in Novice Heavy Weight Division Placing 1st in 2007 NPC Utah Fall show in Senior Master Division & 4th in Novice Heavy Weight division Being Selected as Over 40 Amateur of the Week on BB.com (March 22-28, 2008) Putting on a total of 65 pounds over the last 20 years. Nov 3, 2006 NASM Cerified Personal Trainer Certificate.
Forum Signature:	Live each day like it is your last!! :)

Do you tell your friends and/or family about your fitness goals?

Yes

Why or why not?

So I can have a constant support group. this helps remind me not to slack off.

What tips would you give to others to help them stay motivated over the long-term?

you can change the way you look if you just stay consistant, work out hard and eat right.

- Updated Apr 10, 2008 2:18pm

What supplements do you take immediately before your workout? Why?

Usually take NaNo Vapor or X9 to get the most out of my pumps as I can.
