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. The results you get from bodybuilding are hard-earned and rewarding.
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:
Changing my lifestyle to promote health and provide a positive influence to my children and friends. Reducing BF% from 24% to 10%. Increased strength and well being.
Forum Signature:
Luck has nothing to do with it. It's all about discipline, dedication and intensity. Hit it hard!
Be lean and gain muscle. Check out my routine at http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread .php?t=115656641
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 8% then build lean muscle mass while maintaining a 8-10% bodyfat average and look better in my 30s than I did in my 20s.

Where do you mainly workout?
Gym
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
Pros - I'm focused on the task at hand, has the equipment I need and I actually kinda like the people watching aspect (it can be entertaining at times). Cons - people, lots and lots of people. :)
Why I like this video: Vid by Marc Lobliner, President of Scivation. Sludge tastes like your cheating. I make it with Scivation Choc Whey, Natty PB and frozen mixed berries. I could eat it all day.
I've been focused on reducing my bf% lately and it's finally starting to get hard. As in depleted. No gas in the tank. Over the last two weeks I have felt my energy slip away and it really shows in my lifts. This is when I want to break down and add some carbs back into my diet...
Thanks big A, appreciate your kind word and keepin the dream alive..just haha. Like yourself, we seem to keep the momentum going even with injuries and other distractions. T, you and I should form a group on bb.com...injured, in your 30's and still kickin a$$!
hahah,
cool thanks for the info! you advice means a lot! i need to do more cardio i think..has doing cardio in the mornings, but then got away from it.. need to get ride of this excess baggage lol.
Cool, thanks for the info.. i have a fair knowledge of things just wondering whats the best route on supplements.. should i be adding more BCAA's to my diet - my protein has 5270 mg already in each serving and Im taking 4 servings per day
Hey whats up.I have something I want your opinion on... i wanna put on some serious muscles size wondering whats the best route on supplement,I still want lean mass and dont wanna gain fat.but i want to put on size.would a mass gainer (weight gainer) be a good route to go? Or would just keep taking whey be enough?? Was also thinking about adding creatine as well.. i really dont want to put on excesse weight though and want to get cut with more muscle.any thoughts?
Hey how goes it? Gone fishing, eh? Wanna see some crazy fish check my journal a few pages back, lol. Hope you are finding time to kill it in the gym too.
that's very good i myself Certified from Microsoft but is going to take CCNA & CCNP i attend some cisco event here and talked to friend who work with CIsco Network i found it very interested and will open allot of doors"jobs Opportunity " for me here in egypt ad i gonna benefit of the knowledge from this Microsoft and cisco ;). what do you think ?!
decided to focus entirely on cutting fat to get super ripped and tight with low bf% and maintain my current mass. hardcore cardio running swimming etc 6 days a week with bodyweight routines to maintain mass 3 days a week. do you think with a clean diet this schedule will get me from 14% bf to 6-8% over time ? After I get bf down I will look at bulking ..do you think that schedule will actually get me results? .. that the plan I am embarking on now ... new pics and stats up soon!
