Was always athletic in high school. Track, Cross Country, Basketball, and I competed in Martial Arts for a total of 9 years. Had a number of injuries at the end of High School and fell into a funk as I entered college. Looked in the mirror toward the end of my first quarter and hated what I saw looking back. I decided to do something about it. Although work, life, and injury have sometimes got in the way of my overall goals. I keep coming back because I know what I can achieve and I eventually what to tip-toe the line of complete perfection.
Why I Love It:
Because there is the overall understanding in yourself that you are somehow improving. You work harder you can potentially improve yourself.
And it might sound a bit conceited, but I like knowing I used to be the scrawny lanky kid in high school who would never get a second glance and whenever I find someone looking me over at the gym I know I'm doing something right and want to work even harder
How I Stay Motivated:
The mirror, I'm going to keep working on transforming my body until I'm where I want to be.
BB Accomplishments:
Not so much bodybuilding but my working out has caused this success.
2008 USAT Taekwondo Midwest Qualifier Blackbelt Middleweight Champion
2008 Ohio AAU Taekwondo Blackbelt Middleweight Champion
2008 National AAU Competitor (withdrew after tearing the tendon on the top of my foot)

"All you life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All you life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. And you will tell them yes."
Get bigger and more ripped than I was before I injured my shoulder. I never felt better than in my profile pic, that is my motivation.
Goal (Long):
I want to have larger and more ripped arms, chest, abs, and back. While also have toned ripped legs. I want the double V along my midsection, and I want to have abs that look as though they could tear through my shirt.
Didn't get into grad school, currently working retail. I would love a career in action sports. I want to be the most fit person in this field. If I could work in MMA or Snowboarding I would be achieving my dream.
So, I went to the doctor earlier this week to the surprise of my trainer (I guess he's more used to seeing people focusing solely on getting better them selves than trusting a professional) He was happy I went. I had a number of things I had to do and felt like I was at a more than...
Hey man,
I've been great. Moved to Chicago, started the new job and all that. Been off weights for about a month so I'm getting back into it finally. How've you been?
aww =\. glad to hear you're better though. you'll be back in full in no time I'm sure =]
