I've always been athletic and in sports but I really got started after I got married and my wife tol me one day that my pee stinks! Yup, she said the color was off and it had a bad smell..She advised me to drink more water and lay off the sodas. To my surprised (and hers) she changed my life forever! I felt so great after switching to water that I had to learn more, I wanted more, and from there I took the ball and ran with it.
Why I Love It:
Bodybuilding is my natural drug, I love it! I don't drink, and I don't smoke, so my buzz comes from the poundage of iron and steel. There's no better feeling in the world then constructing your body and knowing that your hard work, faith and dedication has brought you to the next level.
How I Stay Motivated:
My kids, life, God...you name it! Bodybuilding is much more than lifting weights, it's a passion. I didn't choose it, it chose me.
BB Accomplishments:
I achieved competing in my first show 27 July 07! I never thought I would step on stage.

This pic was taken in May 08, I was about 5-6 weeks out (can't remember...damn low carbs) and I am feeling pretty good on my prgress so far.
Do you tell your friends and/or family about your fitness goals?
Yes
Why or why not?
They get to hear it every time they talk to me! Hahaha. I love good health and fitness! Nothing in the world is better than knowing you are in control of your own life.

What tips would you give to others to help them stay motivated over the long-term?
Take some time to get to know yourself..I mean really know yourself and know what you want in life. The only person who can stop you from getting what you really want is you.

What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
I am a clean dieter but I do cheat here and there...If I don't my wife would kill me! Every lady likes to go out to eat here and there :)
Man, it's now the 3week mark for my second comp this yr and things are getting very tough! After the show on 15 Jun 08 some key members on my team dropped out of the running for the July show. True enough, the diet takes a HUGE toll on you--especially since most of us are still new to the...
Currently I'm am doing A LOT of supersets and drop sets to raise the temp up! I feel that I actually get somewhat of an aerobic feeling when doing my non-stop supersets and my brutal dropsets...Or maybe it's just an excuse to not do so much cardio work...lol..who knows

Hey man, your legs are incredible! I've read some of your threads...the one regarding your pastor breaks my heart for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, that's not the witness we should give to the world. Please share insights as I begin intense workout with my legs

Can't wait t see pictures.

NO:( I am so sad, I wanted nothing more then to do that show. I am back in the states, and I am doing a competition in Detroit city come the fall. How is training going for you?? Where are the updated pictures??? Take care!
