I have been lifting since my freshman year in high school. Mainly training for my sports but never took it to serious. After I joined the marines and got to my MOS school I started lifting seriously. That was January of 2007 since then I have gained a solid 30 pounds! Right now my current weight is 207 but am really looking to get past 220. After i get the weight then im going to train sport specific.
Why I Love It:
Its such a rush when you get up that weight you have been wanting all along. Breaking personal records! Getting away from everything else...good or bad a break is always good. Its what keeps me going mentally and physically!
How I Stay Motivated:
Reading articles, watching sports, constantly learning new things about the body. Music! There are a lot of other things that keep me going as well!
BB Accomplishments:
Gaining 30 pounds in just over a year and keeping it on! finally broke 1000 pounds on the leg press for 6 reps! (had a severe ankle injury for the past 14 months so doing that is something I am really proud of!)

This was right before I started lifting seriously. 180lbs...I was in my MOS school at the time.
I want to improve my overall athletic ability. Not to bad right now, always room for improvement! Not sport specific right now but leaning toward lots of explosion movements and power building!
So I have been trying to get over the 210lb mark with my weight for awhile now and it was finally accomplished today! I have been eating a lot more (healthy of course) and pounding down the shakes. Changing up my workout program and stepping up the intensity has helped a tremendous amount! I...
This is Body by Farey haha (Just a lil fun) I came up with this program today. Incorperating muscular endurance, no reps below 10, 6 days a week. Going to try it out for 3 weeks and then alter it slightly to meet the strength demands for next time I come around on it! Tell me what you...
Yeah, I just ate lunch ... I'm slow now. Ha! 3 more hours until vacation! I'm only working 2 days next week ... so excited. I have a girls trip next weekend with my girlfriends. Wrist and knee straps? Yeah, you can really tear up the squat rack now.
Wow ... That's insane! I bet your body was done after that. Thanks for the kudos on competition. I’m a mixture of emotion right now … excited, nervous, scared, etc. It’ll be fun though! What is MOS school?
GREAT job on the new squat record! Yes, I did shoulders and abs today. My body is almost done. After competition I’m not going to be able to move! My body is screaming for the vacation too … ha! Any plans this weekend?
Its good ... a little slow. Glancing at the clock every minute doesn't help either! Ha! I'm leaving early to start my Labor Day vacation ... going to the lake with the family this weekend. How are you doing? How was your workout?
way to go! I trained legs 2 days in a row (following a late night rain soaked bike ride), tried to split it up, glutes yesterday, quads today...I may not be able to walk tomorrow.
