When I Started:
1981
How I Started:
Not sure what switched me on to buying my first copy of Muscle & Fitness at age 17 but in it was a picture of Tina Plakinger and I immediately knew that was what I wanted to look like. I couldn't get enough articles about her, and Cory Everson and Carla Dunlap etc etc.
I took my pic of Tina into a gym and said to the manager that I wanted to look like her. He laughed in my face!
'I'll show you' I thought. And here I am 25 years later still lifting and still enjoying myself. But I don't look like Tina. She was busted for doing steroids and shattered my dream .... lol. I've never done that stuff but plenty do - each to their own and I don't have a problem with it :)
Why I Love It:
I'm just fascinated by constantly pushing myself in terms of strength gains. I'm very competitive, especially with myself, and always want to lift bigger and smarter. There are few things in life that beat the exhillaration of having done a kicking workout :)
How I Stay Motivated:
I find places like this to be the most motivational simply because everyone here understands the lifestyle. The wealth of everyone's experience is invaluable and its great that people are so willing to share.
BB Accomplishments:
My one and only contest. Having secretly harboured this dream to compete one day, I waited til I was 39 before actually getting my butt in gear! I came last but as there were only 3 entrants I came away with a trophy .... hee hee! I was outclassed as a novice natural in a big EFBB (allegedly tested .....) comp but what a complete blast.
Forum Signature:
Brian! Who are all those people outside?
I don't know mother, they just .... popped by.
Popped by?! Swarmed by more like!
still waiting for the pic of you modeling your new shoes! lol
I guess your still waiting for me to wear the tight shorts first! Keep waiting, it ain't happening for at least 10 more lbs! hahaha
Just wanted to say thanks for the info you provided. You're probably right about being impatient. I get that way with things I really want! In three months, I did drop around 14 lbs. I guess the love handles will take a little longer. Take care!
