I started in my teens. I was always large but not particularly strong till I took the weightlifting class in high school in 10th grade. After becoming the strongest kid in the school, I lifted till I was 19 and then promptly stopped for 9 years! When I started up again in 1998, I was overweight, but quickly made progress. I lost over 50 pounds and went on improve my body and health over the years.
Why I Love It:
I like being healthy and feeling positive about myself.
How I Stay Motivated:
Its not easy. 2006 was a bad year for my working out wise. For 6-7 years I coasted, but now its harder to maintain focus. I'm currently trying to lose weight and get back into shape after a long layoff.
BB Accomplishments:
My best condition ever was in 2002. I was 223 pounds and 7% bodyfat. That same year I competed in a gym ab contest. 2003 was another good year for me condition wise. I've had no other contest experience. I've since dabbled in some powerlifting.
Forum Signature:
Modern bodybuilding is ritual, religion, sport, art, and science, awash in Western chemistry and mathematics. Defying nature, it surpasses it.
