When I Started:
Dec, 2004
How I Started:
I started in Christmas of 2004 when I was 15. I weighed in at a skinny 140 pounds at 6'0". I worked out in my garage then, and with what little knowledge I had used a 2 day split. Back, hamstrings, and biceps one day; chest, quads, and tris the next. After continuing this for about a month or two wth sparse results, I discovered the magic of a split routine. I began using a split, as well as incorporating calves, shoulders, and traps into my routine.
This progressed until that summer, when I began working out at my friend Kyle's neighborhood gym, a definite step up from my garage setup. This is also when I began taking my diet a bit more seriously... though not nearly enough. Although I made gains, they were limited by my still pitiful diet. It wasn't until Christmas of 2005 that I actually put a significant amount of effort into it, though it was still not optimal. I kept working out until I lost access to the neighborhood gym and fell into a bit of a slump for a couple months before summer of 2006.
That summer of 2006, I became a member at LA Fitness, and worked out there until the summer of 2007, after I had graduated high school. As of fall 07, I am at Texas A&M, working out at the student rec center there and continuing to add on mass and strength.
Why I Love It:
I love the way it makes me feel and look of course, as well as how it has taught me to commit to something and stick with it. I feel that my mind has strengthened as much as my body since I began, and I am now blessed with great self-discipline and willpower.
How I Stay Motivated:
I try to continue looking ahead at all times, and rather than let people bigger than myself discourage me, I use them as role models to further motivate myself. It has also helped greatly to try to always have myself stuffed with good food, as this makes bad food and empty calories much less tempting.
BB Accomplishments:
Going from 6'0" 140 pounds to 6'1" 186 pounds over a span of a year and a half without the use of any PHs or steroids.
I hope to enter a competition in the next year or two and place.
I am also the teen transformation of the week for February 2008.

This was me one month after I began working out, standing at 6'0" 140lbs.
Taken at 202lbs with a camera phone, so the quality is lacking.
Enter a natural teen competition before June of 2009 and win
Goal (Long):
Hoping to keep adding on mass until I feel ready, then try out competing. Hopefully a few years after I begin I will be near the level to start looking at a natural pro card, and we will see what happens from there.
Just thought I would write down the badass leg workout I had today... Started off at about 11:15AM with a 2 minute warmup jog, then went on to about 10 minutes of good stretching. 2 WU sets of leg extensions, then on to squats.
Evan, awesome progress! Fantastic chest, biceps and abs...those quads are excellent too. You have the whole package....just keep working on size. You look great!
change ur favorite trap building exercise from shrugs to hang cleans asap

Hey Whomper107,
You are a young man that has a lot of potential. Awesome physique! Good luck in your bodybuilding competition and in bodybuilding. My only advice is to stay ripped, chiseled, and symmetrical. Good luck.
