My Workout Program
This is exactly what I did to make the extraordinary changes to my body in three months:
Monday: Legs
leg curls (4 x 8-20 reps)
single leg curls (4 x 8-12 reps)
leg extensions (4 x 12-20 reps)
barbel squats (4 x 6-20 reps)
leg presses (4 x 12-30 reps)
Tuesday: Chest
flat bench dumbells (4 x 8-20 reps)
incline smith (4 x 6-14 reps)
machine crossovers (4 x 12-20 reps)
dips (2-4 sets, bodyweight)
Wednesday: off
Thursday: Back/Shoulders
lat pull downs (4 x 8-16 reps)
low rows, cable (4 x 12-20 reps)
one arm dumbell lat pulls (4 x 8-12 reps)
seated dumbell presses (3 8-16 reps)
side lateral raises (3 x 8-12 reps)
front raises, barbel (3 x 8-12 reps)
rear delts (3 x 8-16 reps)
dumbell shrugs (4 x 12-20 reps)
Friday: Arms
EZ curls (4 x 6-14 reps)
incline dumbell curls (4 8-12 reps)
hammer curls (4 x 10-16 reps per arm)
skull crushers (4 x 12-24 reps)
tri pressdowns, cable (4 x 12-24 reps)
behind the head presses, dumbell (4 x 8-16 reps)
The number of reps may not seem typical. I learned very quickly that certain parts of my body respond tremendously to high reps, especially my quads, triceps and back.
Cardio is performed several times per week; I wake up and eat meal #1 (food plan is listed below in 'healthy foods' section), waited a bit and then hit the gym for a session. Typically 30 minutes nonstop on the ellipse. I never used HITT. Sometimes I'll be able to do a 2nd session of 30 minutes after my workout, which comes after meal #4. Cardio is never done on leg day.

My Motivation Program
I lift alone... I have mentally learned to go into another world...sort of a "nothing can beat me", focused mind state. I am very stubborn with the weights, and love to brutalize myself when my muscles start to burn/fatigue.

Posted in General : Feb 22, 2011 11:57amA memory flooded my mind today:
I was attending college in Cheney, WA...doing my regular workout between classes. After a set, I heard this voice behind me say, "hey, can you lift me up so I can do some pullups?" A little confused, I turned around -- it was a young man in a wheelchair. I remember getting behind him and lifting him up out of the chair so he could grab the bar. Of course, conversation ensued afterwards. This guy was only 22 years old. A few weeks earlier, he had gotten in a car accident and was para
~Steroids & Stereotypes~
Posted in General : Feb 22, 2011 10:07amlisten to my story thus far:
It has been made painfully clear that the uneducated portion of the population actually believe I do steroids. This is both disrespectful and insulting to me. **There is no greater ignorance than in the fitness industry**--we dwell within a shamefully obese society, and stereotyping me does nothing to help the easily influenced youth who are looking for that increasingly important edge; whether it be for sports, powerlifting, self esteem, etc. Young bodybuilders look up to us--if they are associating

I would like you to know that since I'm aware of your upcoming shows and your need to steer clear of the holiday junk, I've arranged to have the cookies dropped off at my house so I can properly dispose of them. I know....I'm practically a saint. You're so very lucky to have me as a helper. Lol....just wanted to wish you a happy Wednesday...
