When I Started:
Jan, 2006
How I Started:
A few reasons.. It started as a physical therapy/medical thing. I was depressed all the time becuase of chronic pain in my back and right arm. My right elbow and wrist are just short of destroyed due to several pointless surgeries to repair a very minor fracture.. long story...I also have a degenerative spinal condition (i'm falling apart) haha. I started going to the gym just to strengthen my back and abs to help manage the chronic pain. Then I just got hooked i guess! Mostly I wanted to rise above the pain and take action toward getting a better body.
Why I Love It:
Takes me away from the stresses of daily life. I also love the rush you get from pushing yourself to the limit.
How I Stay Motivated:
Chicks dig it! gotta look good for the ladies! :) (ok im only half serious about that) the progress pictures of other people help me stay motivated too!
BB Accomplishments:
Becoming a personal trainer! working on getting certified. In the last year I have had more determination, and am finally "getting it" my form has improved. overall eating better, feeling healthier and happier!

Rbinfordchanged Weight from 164 lbs. to 154.8 lbs., a 9.2 lb. loss in 54 days
Time to update my goal! its been about 3 years since i started and had some major down time here and there. I have revamped my lifestyle, changed some things around. I would like to form an ideal athletic physique , not too big, but somewhere in between 175-180 with 10-11 bf
10-12. as i read somewhere, get the pump and get out. 10-12 at a decent weight seems to do it for me

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
40 seconds. dont want to lose the pump but need enough recovery to be able to use the muscle again without complete failure. helps to have a workout buddy when
Well hey, I first want to thank the people who have sent me messages or comments on my newest progress picture. The support and helpful advice is very encouraging. I'm going to keep kicking ass and my plan is to clean bulk for 2 months after i get back from vegas and see where i'm at....
My routine is a work in progress! I tweak it based on my current goals and areas that need work. I just keep reading articles and learning new exercises to keep it fresh! I'm kind of a newbie, so feel free to give me comments and suggestions that might work better! I bring a pencil/paper to...
Thanks Ryan! I see that you have some serious motivation going on with your diet and training! Keep kickin' a$$ with it and have a great time in Vegas next month! -Jeff
awesome what you're doing for yourself. my training started from a similar cause, a fracture on left elbow, then arthritis, and depression from not being able to do anything so i feel ya. but it took that, to come to this- a healthier conscious lifestyle. you, keep on with the amazing transformation!!
You'd already done a solid transformation and I'm sure with your dedication shown already, once you're back you'll be even bigger and better. Best of luck with both the training and health. Andre
