Background

When I Started: Sep 2008
HOW I STARTED:

Well, i was always on the small side and was rather embarassed about my size and rather uncomfortable in alot of situations especially around more physically fit guys. I took Gym class in grade 9 and have been working out ever since.

WHY I LOVE IT:

It feels great to work out and i am looking better than I have in my whole life.

The long road back to glory

Posted in Training  :  Mar 25, 2012 8:19pm

Last week, i was looking at some old progress pics from 2 years ago and then looking at my current physical state, and i think i have finally motivated myself to get back to the gym and stay in the gym. I am going to keep a weekly (mabye bi weekly depending on school) to try and document my hopeful road to getting back in shape.


Over the last 2 years i have attempted atleast a dozen times, with the longest attempt lasting 2 weeks, all of which ending poorly. Usually because i feel self conscious about being in the gym out of shape especially seeing people who hadnt st

Weider X Factor resistance a little light

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 10:09pm
I recently acquired a weider X factor door gym with no complaints other than the resistance of 210lbs really doesnt seem like an ounce over 100lbs resistance, and i do alot of my exercises atleast 3 feet away from the door (supposed to increased difficulty). My max curl with a dumbell is almost 40lbs, i can curl 75lbs on the weider 8-10 times standing a distance away from the door. I am tempted to swap ou the 15lb bands and purchase 60lb bands from weider getting a total of 300lbs total, or buy lifelineUSA bands which are supposidly tougher, having a closer resistance l...

Captain Ahab Thank you so very much for your wonderful reply. I feel that was one of the best compliments I could ever receive here at Bb.com. I appreciate your words more than you know. Feb 23, 2010 1:17pm
Captain Ahab
Captain Ahab As a fellow Canadian I dropped by to say that to reach your goal you will need to eat 5 to 6 or even more clean meals per day (that includes protein shakes), lift weights 3 to 4 times a week and check your need for cardio by measuring bodyfat. Do this and you should soon see your muscles expanding and weight increasing. If I can be of any assistance feel free to give me a yell. I would like nothing better than to see you achieve your fitness goal. Stay strong, focused and determined. Feb 21, 2010 3:23pm
