Have always been working out but was inspired to compete after going to several BB/figure shows in New Jersey and the nationals in Dallas & South Beach.
Why I Love It:
I love it for the sense of accomplishment every step of the way. Having had spinal fusion at 13 years old, physical activity was always a struggle afterwards. I have proved to myself there is nothing I can't do!
To never let my back surgery stop me from doing anything!!
Goal (Long):
Every week is a new challenge. I am looking to compete in early 2007 depending on when I am ready. I am co-owner of Mindless Meals Cafe in Somerset, NJ. Check out our website www.mindlessmealscafe.com for menu and info about our NUTRITION COUNSELING done by Pat Grieco - 2004 Masters National Champion. Pat has won several bodybuilding contests and has trained countless competitors right to the top of their class.
Well done! It is great to see other people pushing through things that most people would use as an excuse to stay at home and eat that ice cream. You are an inspiration.
I appreciate maybe more than many others the pain threshold that you have to cross to be able to do what you are doing. It is no easy path and you deserve a large "way to go" for all of your hard work and dedication and it will make victory taste all that much sweeter when you get where you want to go.
You have a new fan.
I saw that spine pic and figured it out before I read your profile, WOW! I think you prove to everyone that nothing is impossible. Great progress pic and keep proving to us all there are no boundaries. Good job!
just added some progress pics of myself and a new slide show check it out if you have time. The bodybuilders in the slide are my inlaws and the girl posing is my wife she is down 30lbs in 2 months 40 lbs total and competing in the golds Classic in October.
Check it out if you have time
