I had lifted on and off as a teen in my parent's basement with the plastic weights that everyone starts out with. I joined my first real gym with a friend in January of my senior year of high school. I've been training consistently and naturally ever since.
Why I Love It:
What's not to love? It's the fountain of youth! You feel better, you look better (nekkid) and you perform better in all areas of your life thanks to this lifestyle.
How I Stay Motivated:
I like to challenge myself and enjoy improving from year to year. I see guys four years older than me who look like they could be my father. Whatever I'm doing seems to be working.
BB Accomplishments:
None so far. I've always trained with an eye towards eventually competing but haven't yet. I currently work a full time job and am a full time student working towards my Bachelor's degree in nutrition but I'd like to do a show when I'm finished with my schooling. For now I'll keep trying to improve.

What should look for in a gym? What should you avoid?
I avoid gyms that are staffed by morons. I also avoid soft, "richie" type gyms full of state of the art machines and not a single guy who looks like he's ever done anything physical in his whole life. Those places are for yuppie, pussy, psuedo-men who get manicures and whose soft hands would get all ouchy from the knurling on the barbell.I avoid gyms that are staffed by morons.

What type of outfit do you usually wear when you workout? Why?
Jeans and a t-shirt. Because I'm there to work, and suffer, not prance around like it's a pony show.
Are you in a program now? If not, where are you hoping to do your internship? On the sports end of nutrition, you will have to take up those studies on your own. Most programs don't do sports nutrition. TWU - Texas Woman's Univ. has a combined exercise/nutrition program. Not very good with drawing the lines together between the two. And I think Florida State has a sports program. Please keep me posted on your progress and when you will take the RD exam.
Thanks, Bro! I spent the Winter prioritizing my shoulders and biceps. I've made some progress, but still have a ways to go. I always look for your posts; they're always on-point!
