I was teased for my weight in elementary and junior high school (back in the 70s/80s everyone was skinny). I wanted to transform from a chubby kid to a high school varsity athlete. My parents bought me a set of cement-filled weights from Sears when I was 14 years old. I've been weight training since.
Why I Love It:
I have no love for it. It takes work and discipline to maintain an athletically conditioned physique especially at my age!
How I Stay Motivated:
The payout--health, wellness, and hopefully longevity.
BB Accomplishments:
At my 25-year high school reunion, a fellow alum described me as the "class's most fit athlete" when we posed for a photograph, http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/photo.php?pid=30277323&id=1510566687
Hey Manny how are you! Did I add u to my facebook page yet~~~ Goodness I have over 3,000 request waiting to be added.......Send me an email if you haven't yet and I'll put you at the top of the list. Happy thanksgiving to you and your family. ~ Christine ~
I am glad to hear you are doing well! The pic is from the Arnold earlier this year...I have a lot of work to get even near to what I was looking like back then! Now that Im around 95% back to health Im cutting the fat and upping the intensity again in the gym...Can't wait to see the results again week after week! Take care!
Haha thanks...but if Gerard Butler would have worked out for the last ten years, he would probaly not be an actor lol I think he played the part to a T...but I really appreciate the comment :)
That's not right. I haven't updated it lately. I just had knee surgery so I am a little out of shape right now. Kind of afraid to check and update, lol.
Thanks Manny for the kind words.......I haven't been on this site for a while and sorry for the delay in responding...Your looking fabulous.....

thanks for the comment,must say that without support its a uphill climb at times!Your looking in top condition yourself.hope your well keep in touch,Michael.
good to hear from you man. i actually moved to little rock arkansas for med school about 3 months ago. i heard that it was a good show. Did you compete?
Manny, Thanks for the add and great compliment. Same to you. Wow. Lots of quality at that show. Very impressive line-ups all around. Natural is looking better and better all the time.
I took the overall title at our WPF Provincials over the weekend. Pics are up. You can have a look and let me know what you think. I weighed in rock hard at 224.4lbs.
Thanks Manny,It was a pleasure meeting you at the show. It was a quality field. I had no regrets. I was as good as I could be. I was just beaten by better men..I'll probably go for another next May..
I am back from IFBB SA’s. I got a controversial 3rd place. I don’t want to go in to the whole issue. The decision has been made and nothing can change it. No need for me to rumble on about the issue. I have uploaded photos and the top 3 comparisons under my progress pics. I also uploaded my posing routine under the video clips. I say the truth lies in the pictures. Please check it out and let me know what you think. My competition weight was a rock hard 229.9lbs.
