When I Started:
May, 2008
How I Started:
Although I have been casually working out for a while now, I have only just recently started taking it very seriously. I've been wanting to compete in martial competition for a long time now, and the more I watch and delve into the world of martial arts and MMA etc. The more my passion for it grows, and I have come to realize that the only way to truly succeed in the sport, is to train hard, and not just in technique.
Why I Love It:
I love the endorphin rush, I love looking good, I love being able to do a lot with my body, and I love knowing that what I do is conducive to overall wellbeing. It takes a bit of motivation to get started sometimes, but when I'm lifting weights, or throwing kicks, or pushing it on the rowing machine, I feel like I'm truly achieving something.
How I Stay Motivated:
Music, Motion, and Mantras. Long term this isn't the only thing, but its a great way of getting "psyched up" before any workout.
BB Accomplishments:
I haven't really got any yet, this will hopefully change.
Forum Signature:
I have nothing witty to put in my signature, so I feel this is more than appropriate.
This was taken prior to the plan that was meant to slingshot me back to fitness. I had gotten horribly out of shape, and its taken me a while to get myself back in gear.
One day I'll take another relaxed photo...

I want to improve my aesthetics, but most importantly, I want to compete in MMA.
Goal (Long):
I've been a fan of martial arts since I was fairly young, and I've always wanted to compete.
- Weight and Aesthetic – 185 lb lean muscular physique.
- Consistency – Complete every workout & lesson & stretch & meal & run etc.
- Flexibility – High kicks and palms to the floor should be a breeze
- Strength – Increase weight at least twice in each exercise by end of 12 weeks (Should be significantly more)
- Hand stands & L-seats – Increase time on L-seats and get a foothold on handstands.
- Endurance – Be able to use good form through entire martial arts classes. Maybe improve horse stance (But I honestly care very little for static leg endurance.)
- Martial skill – Take the lessons seriously and start progressing.
Why I like this video: Cung Le is possibly my favorite MMA fighter; he has taken an artform that a lot of people said would not work in the MMA arena, and made it work. His career is young, but his record is already impressive.
Well, after six weeks of pretty solid training, I'm starting to see some good gains. There were a few hitches here and there, and a week out due to illness, but all in all its all progressing nicely.
Problem as of late with my knees; I can't do pistols at the moment without pain in the tendon...
Figured Guernsey needed some more REPRESENTIN!!! But yeah, if in a few years you get to fight Kimbo Slice in MMA, kick him in the balls and get disqualified for me :D
Yeah the girl is mad hot and mad rich, she has houses in south of france, switzerland (ski chalet), italy, spain, germany etc haha grr im jelous.

What do you end up doing at the weekends in the city then?

Whats it like living in the City? I have a girlfriend that lives in hammersmith and has a few houses in the countryside and she says its really fun living in city but its awesome to visit countryside (relaxing)
