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.

It looks like I may have some potential
Need a better camera and to work on diet pushing more weight but getting smaller
Rise! Get up, stop thinking about it and start walking
Goal (Long):
To obtain the best physical stature possible for my body and maintain that body until it is my time to leave this world, to obtain my DSW and speak Norwegian. To teach my children especially and others who will listen the importance of our choices. I will be shredded very soon, this is a fact, the only thing that can stop me is death.
I use the elliptical machine 10 minute pre and post work out every session. I love to Mountain bike and would like to do more of that in the future, also like to go hiking so there are other methods but even with those I would still do the Elliptical as noted. I also walk and take the stairs every chance I get. I use the elliptical machine 10 minute pre and post work out every session.

What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
I could care less some people are pathetic with it though, I work out at home so it's irrelevant.
I am lost, I look around this site and read the posts, where people talk about drinking, loan sharks after them, masturbation, degrading women, then I look at pictures of women with there legs spread in the hay, see through panties, where is the dignity, respect for you body.
Day 1: Chest 4 exercises 4 set, 6-10 reps max weight possible Back 4 exercises 4 set, 6-10 reps max weight possible,1 stomach exercise 10 minute elliptic pre & post. Exercises vary from week to week I rotate pushing back real hard one week and chest the next week this is done...
I have never known GOD to close a door on us yet. I am going through some very heavy $$$ strife right now. Jesus always has my back. I though need to get proactive so the Lord can work through me. Get excited that God is working in you for a much better life. Have a great weekend. I'll be enjoying the snow? UGH! LOL

Hello my brother in CHrist. Having some pretty bad personal issues right now but I'm learning to let go and "let God". My faith in Jesus, friends and they gym help keep my sanity in tact. Glad all is well with you - Gary
I've been pretty much on track with my marathon prep. I had some foot troubles that sidelined me for ~10 days, but I'm back at it only 45 days until the marathon.
Hey there fellow Razzer. Just trying to blast my arms hard 2xs per week. My goal is 16" by summer. Just trying to put on as much mass as possible between now and summer which for an ectomorph physique is not as easy as it sounds. Come May 08, I'll start cutting. Hope you're having a great weekend. How are things in your part of the country?
I/we really appreciate the support. I am sorry for your loss... I've lost great friends as well over this war on terror. It's encouragement from real people like you that help us keep going. Thanks again.
