Background
When I Started: Jun 2007
HOW I STARTED:
I wanted to transform my body from fat, out of shape, and in pain, to trim and pain free. My initial goal of losing 35 pounds has been surpassed! 59 pounds of fat gone and new muscle gained! Current Goals: I want to increase my bench press from 100 lbs currently to 106 which is my bodyweight. I also want to increase my deadlift from the current 175 lbs to 200 lbs and then later to 212 which is double my bodyweight. I will do it even if it kills me! Stubbornness goes a long way ;) I don't do squats because of compressed cervical discs.
WHY I LOVE IT:
I love it because I look better, I'm pain free, I have lots of energy, and reduced stress. I look forward each day to challenging myself to improve on my personal best.

Take the time to transform yourself from fat to fit
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:57pmYes it's not fun to start a transformation and keep it up long term but you can do it. The time is going to pass by anyway so why not start now and go through the initial uncomfortable process of transformation so that a year or so from now it's already completed and your enjoying your new look and fitness benefits? If you don't do it your going to still look and feel the same or worse next year at this time. Once you start it gets easier each week to adapt to and eventually it will be normal. The foods that you think that you can't give up will not even taste right a year from now and you won...

Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:57pmI kept my journal up through the setback and I'm glad I did because it didn't last long and I was right back on top of the game. It's very strange, I have lost almost an inch (flexed) in my arms but gained in strength. I'm thinking perhaps I have lost some loose skin because of tightening? Mystery lol I've been experimenting with working the same muscles daily. So far great gains in strength. Over a 2 week period I have gone from 27.5 lb DB concentration curls to 35 lb. DBs. All my lifts have gone up and I'm seeing improvements in my legs for the first time ever. This is without squats because...
I have a setback, hopefully temporary
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:57pmI am having some cervical spine issues again. There is some pain. My wrist is still not healed from my prior injury either and it's hurting every time I lift anything. I have taken 9 days off hoping that the pain would subside but the time off has not really helped. Yesterday I started back at it but I've lost quite a bit of muscle and strength. I can see a reduction in muscle size in my arms which is very depressing since it's such hard work to put it on in the first place. I have to lift lighter for awhile until I gain back some strength and the previous muscle that I've lost. I hate going b...

Hi, I saw your post about building home workout equipment. Somebody said wood is not good due to the weight of it, but I build a pretty sweet rack to hold all my dumbbells.... would love to send you a photo or two!! It's fantastic, takes up minimal space.... etc.

Thanks for the comment on my Bodyspace. Competing just isn't for me. I've been there, done that with bowling. Better at this stage of my life to keep it recreational and not worry about a judge critiquing my rear delts!
