When I Started:
Sep, 1999
How I Started:
Since I was 10yrs old; boxing, martial arts and bodybuilding via different people were part of my life. Instead of committing to this path, I committed 20 years of my life to drugs & alcohol. Dropped out of school at 13 worked for builders becoming a house framer at 18 ( S.I., N.Y. 1 of the 5 boroughs). I was always physical by trade plus I rode road/mountain bikes and Dirt bikes, from 18 -29 I was 174-lbs 5% fat at 6'1". Quit cigarettes at 29 hit 224-lbs, quit alcohol, marijuana and drugs at 30 hit 260. At 31 I finally got with my uncle who was 38 and been Weight training since he was 16. I continue to evolve in a positive direction. At opening of BB site 233-lbs 16% bodyfat. I will work at losing body fat and building muscle naturally.
Why I Love It:
This is the high I searched 20 years for, while God placed numerous opportunities in my path, I refused to acknowledge them. This is Gods path for me and that is clear . I wasn't subjected to so many healthy people throughout my life for no reason. I simply refused to follow the path each time it was previously presented. This is what I was always meant to do.
How I Stay Motivated:
Once my mind locks in on an idea, just stand clear. Longevity is in my blood many in my family lived past 100. I continually strengthen my mind, body and spirit, Unless I die first I will be lifting when I am 110 that's just how it is. I will get my PhD in Social Work and teach college. I ain't running from you, I am running at you (Ice-T, O.G. 2000).
BB Accomplishments:
FINALLY I BEGAN at 30. Prior to this point I had smoked cigarettes & pot, drank alcohol and used drugs for 20 year. Despite that and no H.S. I managed a GED at 24 then, obtained an A.A. degree. It was at this point I got clean, started on obtaining a Bachelor of Social Work and picked up weight training.

Why I like this video: I just like listening to Arnold and watching him he was the one who brought about my love for the sport, wish I would of listened sooner, he was my uncles idle growing up in the 70's. My uncles only 8 years my senior; I had opportunities to start young, made bad choices, here now though and that's all that matters.

You really have to keep a firm hand on the 1/2 cup measuring scoop. Portion control is critical mass when you are making changes to diet on any level. I track the info on the label, meter out what a "serving" is accordingly and track the carbs/protein/fat grams in the over all meal plan. If you want to PM me your address, I can shoot you a copy of what I do so you can see how i works.

Hey Rassss ... that is what I eat every day with few ,if any, variations. Not sure about what the difference is between a plan and diet. I would guess this is more like a "plan."

Hey Dave, you're looking good and getting big. Awesome. I'm currently down to 5% bodyfat, lean, ripped and hard. Next week it's time to start getting big. Goal is to put on 15 lbs of rock hard muscle by December and maintain at 7% bodyfat.
