Started mostly because of sports and then through the years I kept lifting to stay in shape and build muscle. Grew up playing soccer, baseball, etc... Played baseball in High School and College. After high school I was able to really start building muscle. My workouts are the most intense from January thru May...the rest of the time I seem to maintain because I'm very busy during those months...you know...because it's nice outside. Love being outside playing golf, softball, biking, hiking, running, swimming, basketball, kayaking, rock climbing, just about anything. Can't get enough of the outdoors. Even if it's hitting a tennis ball or throwing a football around at the beach. You can't beat the feeling of being out in the sun.
Why I Love It:
Great stress reliever...self esteem. If I want to relax after a great workout and play video games or read a book I don't feel guilty about it.
How I Stay Motivated:
Strong family bond and amazing friends are a great start to staying motivated.
Feeling good and healthy helps motivate me the most. Other ways I stay motivated are to set goals and actually reach them. I love reaching my goals. I've learned that setting goals that just seem beyond the reach of obtainable is the way to go...that way they are always close enough to give you the drive to push ahead. Set them too high and you'll tend to give up. Once they're reached then set them higher and never EVER stop. My two major goals right now are to accomplish a 400lb bench press and to be in the best shape of my life year after year after year after...
BB Accomplishments:
No major accomplishments. When I bench press 400lbs I will consider that my personal best BB accomplishment.

The fountain of youth is there, right in front of me but I don't want a ladder to reach it, I want to pull it towards me and earn it.
To maintain my healthy habbits, keep building lean muscle and keep the fat off. Look great at the beach.
Goal (Long):
My main goal is to be healthy for as long as I possibly can. To keep muscle and loose fat and stay active for as long as possible. I want to be in my best shape ever when I reach the age of 40.

Description: Lifting weights to a star wars theme. I didn't reach the 405 yet...I made this to help motivate myself to reach it. The later lifts will be edited in when I finally reach my goal. Thanks for watching.
of people who don't care about their body's saying 'You don't look healthy.' Well guess what...I don't workout to please them...I workout to please myself and be healthy. And while they get all fat and need to catch their breath just standing up and don't care to do anything...
