When I Started:
Aug, 1996
How I Started:
Started in tenth grade weight training class. At the time i weighed around 130 to 140. By the end of the year my bench was up to 285. By the end of my 12th grade year I weighed 162 and had a flat bench of 370. By this point I had not even had so much as a protein shake. Just lots of food. I took some time of at around 20 or so. The only workout I did from 20 until around 24 was 12 ounce curls if you know what I mean. By the grace of God I got back in the gym at 25 and he has kept me there every since.
Why I Love It:
I love it because there is always room for improvement.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by seeing others who look better and are stronger.
BB Accomplishments:
These arent bodybuilding accomplishments dont really see myself as a body builder but i hold a national record for flat bench with a lift of 425 at weight of 178 in 2007 In the 100% raw power lifting federation 181 weight class. I also hold state record in the usapl 198 weight class with a lift of 425 AGAIN kinda disappointing but oh well, broke the record. I weighed in at 188. These are both drug free power lifting federations and I am ALL natural. Not taking anything from guys who arent because they also have to put in the work. I use animal pak and protein the majority of the year. I use a NO products maybe 4 times out of the year for around 30 days at at time. Thats all I use other than what the good Lord gave me.
