When I Started:
Nov, 2008
How I Started:
I got tired of the lines at the overly crowded 24 Hour Fitness after work. This led me to quit working out entirely. After a two year hiatus, I got tired of the weight gain and decided to return. This time I went with a smaller gym that has a smaller crowd.
Why I Love It:
The ego-boost, feeling the strength and stamina gains, improved confidence, etc.
How I Stay Motivated:
Concentrating on and fantasizing about my goals. I'll do this a couple ways. The first is directly fantasize about my goal. What I would look like, how I would feel, that idea that I'd finally be the guy getting checked out by females, that sort of stuff. The second way is I read men's fitness magazines and watch the strongman competitions (or something similar). It's amazing watching what these people are capable of and look like then to think that I could possibly do that at some point.
BB Accomplishments:
I started.

Change my image from "that fat guy" to "that hot guy."
Goal (Long):
In elementary school I was always the runt then somewhere between middle school and high school I became the fat kid. I've never been fit, full of energy, or athletic. This changed when I started weight training late in high school but have never had the time or money to truly invest myself into body building. Hopefully now, I can change all that. I'd like to drop to the 210-220 range and build some muscle.

The first two weeks after starting cutting, I dropped 8lbs and an inch off my waist. My son's birthday came up, didn't have much of a choice on when to eat and tried to eat the best I could (burger, no bun, potatoes). I lost the day after his birthday as well from the cleanup and such....
This is my HIT routine. It gives me a little more power to adjust how often I'm hitting certain parts of my body. My legs already have a lot of power so I want to work on my chest and back more. This allows me to hit those areas three times a week and the rest once.
Always glad to meet another fan of strongman!!! I have a quote I wrote a while ago, because alot of the people I train start off where you do. "The strength of a man is not judged by where he starts, but by where he ends." Keep your head in the game and let nothing stop you, and you will go far!
You can accomplish your goals. You made a big step by joining this website. Stay motivated, patient, and focused and i'm confident you will reach your goal...Good Luck!
