In 2007 i was about 215lbs at 6ft 5inches,I was very skinny and felt very uncomfortable and dreary looking.I decided to start weight lifting to put on that size that I was longing for.There was an Anytime Fitness 24hr GYM that was minutes away from my house,which was perfect because at the time I was working night shift and I could work out whenever i wanted.I started working out,by myself didn't know a thing about what I was doing.I had to start doing research and read on what I was supposed to do,workout plans etc.It gave me a foundation to start with.I had a couple of setbacks since than,I had 3 ankle surgeries,where I had to stop training in the gym and pretty much start over every single time.For a while, I haven't had any set backs at all and I was extremely focused and constantly in the gym and on point with my diet and supplementation.
Due to the physical warehouse work i do for a living,it took a toll on my back,and along with training and working,i herniated my L5 S1,and bulged L4. Injury occurred March 2013.Constant spasms that would knock me to my knees,or leave me stuck in the position i was in,constantly heat and ice application,anti inflammatory over the counter medication,stretching allowed me to heal enough to get through the day at work without re injury and for me to hit the gym again which i started at the end of June 2013.
Im "stuck" at 245 right now,i put in an order of CLA and Gaspari's Detonate fat burner which iv been very successful with before,this stack along with a clean diet and exercise daily will sure take me to my goal of 225.
Walking into my GYM is such an exhilarating feeling.I'm looking forward for every workout,every meal and every pre and post workout shake.It gives me a huge boost of confidence knowing that i just beat my last weeks personal record on a particular exercise.There are friends and trainers that I can't let down,they expect me to succeed,as much as I can't let myself down.It may sound cliche but fitness is my drug,my sanity.Several people of all ages approach me and let me know how inspired they feel by my consistency and the transformations I'm going through week by week.It makes me feel great that I can be an inspiration to everyone around me.I feel very lucky and blessed,that I have a very strong support system;thank you!you all know who you are!
