Bothell High School Attended 2009 to Present Bothell, Washington United States
When I Started:
Jun, 2009
How I Started:
June 4, 2008 - Hospitalized due to Anorexia Nervosa.
I have pretty much always wanted to be "ripped". so I thought eating less was the way to go. But... it ended wrongly with my heart practically not beating and me almost dying; depression and anorexia. 3 months after being diagnosed I was at 145 lbs, 45 pounds in 3 months. yuck. Barely any muscle.
My parents got me a YMCA membership in June 2009 and I really liked it. Now, it is September and I have just started getting more serious with the free weights and dieting.
Why I Love It:
You never stop learning.
How I Stay Motivated:
I don't need much motivation. Nobody forces me to workout, I just do it because I love it.
Eating and living a healthy lifestyle also just feels great.
BB Accomplishments:
None yet.

Deuteronomy 31:6
This was taken 2 weeks before being discharged from the hospital due to Anorexia Nervosa. It shows how much I've changed and keeps me motivated. 100 lbs
Back Relaxed COLD - 129.5lbs
2 months progress from first back picture.
Become 150 - lean. To inspire... and be proud.
My long term goal is to compete in at least one competition.
Goal (Long):
I'm looking to gain size and muscle mass while staying at a low BF, improve for sports, and sculpt a body that turns heads for sure.
I'm looking to reach my set out goals. Some examples are 135 bench, 100 military, 200 squat, and 220 deadlift all for 5 reps.
Like me except a lot stronger, and older! haha! He's helped me a whole ton and we're both going to work hard together to one day possibly become teen of the week!
Just hit 4 months of training last week. For the first two months I wasn't eating enough, not getting anything near enough protein, not enough sleep, and overtraining. So I now officially am going to stay I began training September... 2 months total
Just recently I've been focusing on form...
Because i only have 3 days i spilt it up inot Back/Bis Chest/Tris and Legs Shoulders. Usually my routine looks like this:
Squat 1x10 5x5
Leg extension 4x10
Leg press 2x10 2x6
Calf Raises 4x6/8
More calf work
then shoulder exercises like arnold presses and stuff
I've been using both and do the same weight on both but i prefer the plate one as you can get a fuller ROM on it. What does your leg routine look like?
not too great tbh haha, started squatting recently and also deads, my bench is 60kg, my squat is 50kg, and my dead is 50kg aswell, im still workin on proper form so havent gone heavy yet, just doing light weights for a week or two untill i get the form just right. My faveourite is the leg press on which i press 360 for 10 or Db benhch where i do 40s for 10, im just looking through yours and your squat has improved alot!
well as long as it takes to get to 180 and very lean, I dunno how long that will take but thats the plan (maybe year and a half at the current rate. I will still compete in sprint distance triathlons but not train specifically for them as much as i used to
umm varies from day to day, sometimes i find that i have no appetite in the morining and sometimes i'm really hungry. I usually have a shake, 4 eggs, then either oats or some toast, and a piece of fruit, sometimes i just have a piece of fruit an a shake but then i eat much more at school. How bout you?
at school i'm spoiled for choice hahaha, usually have pasta with some kind of a sauce (usually meat based), or i just make myself several ham/turkey/chicken or whatever takes my fancy sandwiches with salad etc, and then yeah just pack some random fruit and bars but not too many. I have most of my meals when i get home. I havent gona as far as taking protein shakes to school yet :)
thanks :), and it's not the muscles in my neck, rather the 2 lower vertibrate just before the back vertabrate start, i think it was where the bar was resting, maybe a bit too high, i'll try wider grip and a an inch lower next time
yeah mine looks roughly the same. Btw, I did some squats today and I found that my lower neck is really sore now, did you have that problem whem you started squatting or am I placing the bar too high up?
i cant remeber if i replied to your last post or not now haha :S. But yeah gotta mix the things up a bit. What exercises do yuo do for back and shoulders?
