When I Started:
How I Started:
I started lifting in high school like everyone else. But I stopped for many years after graduate school. Marriage, career, children... it all took priority. It wasn't until my late 30's, when my life became more settled, that I started lifting again and I started competing as a strength athlete only a few years ago.
Why I Love It:
In my very stressful job, working out keeps me focused. Hitting the gym is better than going to a psychiatrist or taking Lexipro!

Oh! And if I can do it, anyone can do it! I have the worst schedule of anyone I know!
How I Stay Motivated:
I am addicted! I love feeling strong, I love the stares at restaurants, I love getting big. It is a rush to be able to do things that average people can't do, like lifting cars or running with 290 pounds in each hand!
BB Accomplishments:
Never competed as a BB! At this point, I know I will never be really cut or even look like a bodybuilder. But there is nothing but the love; I have plenty of props for my BB brothers.

(Eph 3:12) "In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

The Holy Spirit gives us boldness and confidence after we have believed in Jesus Christ to be able to pray and make requests to God without fear. "
Okay, so what I learned this morning is that FEAR...

The videos are off the hook dude. Its hard to believe you compete in the light weight division. I recently dropped to the middleweight division. Was competing as a heavy but it made me slow and my stamina is much better now.

Hey MS. I was wondering if you could give me a few tips, because I have been getting into powerlifting at my college gym. I have a 4-day training split and I was wondering what would be the best thing to do on M,T,Th,& F. Sorry for the newb and redundant question. I just need a little help from an experienced person. Thanks.
