When I Started:
Jan, 2006
How I Started:
I started lifting in early in high school and continued through college while playing rugby. I primarily lifted for sport (and the ladies of course). Starting a family and a career threw many obstacles in my way; giving me plenty of reasons to make excuses for not getting into the gym.
Why I Love It:
I enjoy the fatigue from a great workout - it's relaxing and gives me a sense of accomplishment. I have an appreciation for a well developed physique knowing the work required to build and maintain one. Although I like team sports I enjoy the individual accomplishments achieved through weight and cardio training.
How I Stay Motivated:
I haven't reached my goal(s) yet and that keeps me motivated to press on. And when I do reach my goal(s), there will be a new one to start working towards.
BB Accomplishments:
Getting to the gym.
Forum Signature:
Luck has nothing to do with it. It's all about discipline, dedication and intensity. Hit it hard!

This is a photo that motivates me to get lean. I'm having a good time in Hawaii but vacation is over now. I weigh 220lbs with 23% bodyfat.

Goal (Long):
I love going to the gym - that's the easy part. I continue to work on developing the discipline to manage my diet so I don't hinder the progress I make in the gym. I'm driven to go and hit the iron but I have to motivate myself to control the diet 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
My goal is eat and train smarter so I can drop my bodyfat to 10% then build lean muscle mass while maintaining a 10% bodyfat average and look better in my 30s than I did in my 20s.
You know those pair of pants you keep in the closet that used to fit but you couldn't get rid of them because one, you like them and two, you told yourself that you will fit back into them one day? Yeah, many of us have those lurking around including me. In fact I have slacks that range from...
Aw thank you! I have no clue when I'm going to do another show, its freaking expensive as hell! But good luck with your lean bulk, Ill be interested in seeing your progress =0)
No, none in perticular. I read and research alot and pretty much just designed my own. Learned how my body reacted to different foods and keep all 6-7 meals a day CLEAN... Lots of water...
Well to be honest I was trying to keep both on the same level, which is a hard to do. So this year I'm gonna buld like most everyone else does then just shred it down. Hope to gain at the least 10 lbs...
Thanks for the advice. I've decided that BF% is my new goal. When I go into the gym on Monday, I'll have it checked. I read some of your blogs--a great motivator.
Hey alm, thanks for the comment dude. It does suck that some kids can't cope with the shit that they have to deal with because of pricks like Mac, but for every kid who ends up doing something regrettable, there are a dozen who hide away in a gym for hours a day becoming what they want to be!
Damn, man you look great. Awesome mass on your chest and size on your arms. You have really inspired me big guy. I want to be just like you. Take care and good luck in achieving all your goals and reaching your personal physique objectives, clearly you are well on your way!
