I began weight training in high school in an effort to be at my physical best for a future tour of duty within the U.S. Marine Corps. And, that tour just happen to extend a few 20 more character-building years until my official retirement from the Marine Corps all the while I continued to weight train around the mandatory Physical Training (PT) which is expected of all Marines. ______________ Never looked back after 30 years of coherent weight training... quite a few injuries... yet still loving it, today.
Why I Love It:
It loves back - unconditionally!
How I Stay Motivated:
Intestinal Fortitude.
BB Accomplishments:
Mostly--taking an ectomorph (''hard-gainer'') body type to its limits and transforming it into my own personal best.
Forum Signature:

I would like to remain in as healthy of a condition and lifestyle as possible throughout the entirety of my life! While doing so, it will be challenged by an extremely long-term abuse of poor training techniques ("biomechanics & form") and other fitness principles ("over-training") lasting nearly 20 years. My past obsessions involving over-training now serve as an immensely strong standard of guidelines to my 'now' more rational and balanced training principles & strategies. "Amazing--how that works!!"
These 'school of hard knocks' and injury-ridden experiences did chisel some muscle maturity, by default, into a natural physique of which I am proud to claim. ___________
However, in doing so with partial regret, I'm somewhat limited now in various ways to what I'm able to do, and how often I can train. And, as difficult as it may turn to be, I now attempt to empower, guide, and motivate as many of my fitness training clients & other interested gym members with proper knowledge and experience of someone who's made some distantly 'far off & to the right' mistakes as could possibly be imagined. It, without doubt, is very difficult to do this sort of "confiding" to fitness clients considering the position and title I hold as a Certified Personal Trainer and my fitness club's Fitness Training Manager. Yet, sometimes it serves to be a "liberating" experience in voicing out these past training mistakes and physical injuries to demonstrate by example to others -- the route of least resistance & path to greater success -- can be achieved with much lesser work and pain if they follow some of the most basic fitness principles I've come to learn... the hard way! ;)
