Overall Goal: Thursday, March 5, 2009 was 1 year since I got seriously back into training. I have lost 20 lbs and gained back 7 of hopefully muscle. My goal was meet and my goal to gain 20 lbs of muscle is in effect. Let see how it goes.
Fit Status:
1000 lbs on the leg press today, Weds March 11, 2009. I made my goal. Im hype today.
I been training off and on for years. Going in a 6-730 am. No progress. In March, I started going on my lunch hour. 30 minute intense circuit training everyday. 15 minutes a body part. In the last 30 days, I have seen remarkable change, more energy and strength. So my change officially started March 3, 2008.
Why I Love It:
Feels great. Look better. Get stronger and it helps promote better health.
How I Stay Motivated:
I hit the gym at 6:00 am each weekday and start out with Calisthenics for my 450 reps in 15 mins workout that I designed for me. Then I do my body part/s of the day. I also do a calis/lifting combo workout now. I have had great gains and a mega source of of energy and endurance.
BB Accomplishments:
I had double rotator cuff surgeries. I had to start over from scratch. Bar pounds only on the Smith machine. BTW: The Smith Machine is my hero. As of 9-4-08, I have maxed 250 on bench press. For me that is a major accomplishment.

Give a boy a barbell, and he will train for a day. Teach a boy how to workout and he will train for a lifetime.

Goal (Long):

2. To feel good about myself and look better. Get stronger and keep healthy.
John is an achiever as his BB title indicates. He has made an amazing progression in such a short time. He is also very helpful willing to reach out and share what he feels can help others achiever like himself. Unlike some who are stuck on themselves and put others down, by not replying or ignoring the lesser or struggling ones. John is very friendly and real good person. He motivates me not only by keeping me going, but by seeing him achieve his goal in life. To be successful. Thanks John.
Greg has been there for me and has helped me through alot of tough BB moments and gave me the encouragement I needed. Also he has helped me get my diet on track. Even when he was away from BB for a while, he kept in touch and let me know how he was doing, and this help keep me motivated to keep going, no matter what. Greg Tyler, you totally rock. Thanks my brother.
So today I made my goal on the leg press. 1000 lbs on the leg press. That really made my day. I am so hype over this. This may seem like very light work for some bodybuilders, but for me this was a great feat. I am very proud of myself. Especially since I been training for a year last week and...
