"To help my daughter gain the muscle back that she has lost to this dreaded disease of Anorexia. I won my life back some years ago from WPW Sydrome, now we are fighting for her life back."
After i got my pacemaker put in at the ripe ole age of 35, I wound up at a body weight of 165lbs due to the stresses of heart surgery (3) a divorce and a move back to Indiana. Doc told me I need to put some weight back on. I have always been active in running and some weight training, but I wound up getting hooked on building my body up once I started seeing some big gains.
My heart condition is actually called Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. In a normal heart, electrical signals use only one path when they move through the heart. As the electrical signal moves from the heart's upper chambers (the atria) to the lower chambers (the ventricles), it causes the heart to beat.
If there's an extra conduction pathway, the electrical signal may arrive at the ventricles too soon.
Many people with this syndrome who have symptoms or episodes of tachycardia (rapid heart rhythm) may have dizziness, chest palpitations, fainting or, rarely, cardiac arrest. Other people with WPW never have tachycardia or other symptoms. About 80 percent of people with symptoms first have them between the ages of 11 and 50
Why I Love It:
Its my stress reliever for one. The other is that I find that I am motivating others to change their lifestyle to be more physically fit.
How I Stay Motivated:
BB Accomplishments:
I actually competed for the first time...at 42 years old!
Forum Signature:
If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

To help my daughter gain the muscle back that she has lost to this dreaded disease of Anorexia. I won my life back some years ago from WPW Sydrome, now we are fighting for her life back.
Goal (Long):
I want to influence as many young lives as possible in order to build their bodies up the correct way. I hear many of the youngsters in our gym say they would love to be able to do what I do and all I can say to them is to just start and never quit.
HEHEHEHHEHE. HII BRIAN ,THE AMERICAN MUSCLEMAN SURE YOU COME TO SEE ME ABS? HEHEHEHE I WILL NEED TO START TO PUT SOME PICTURS ON THER HEHEHEH YUST NO TIME FOR IT HEHEHE, HAVE A NICE DAY BRIAN, BIG HUGGGIES XXXXXXXXXX;))
Checked out your April pics. What a set of wheels! Rippling back muscles are sweet. How big is that bicep now? What's happening with your pecs? Looking swole, big guy!
First, fitness is great, but in your situation, don't you think your obsession will actually agrevate your daughters condition further? Im being totally serious, it may be a better influence for daughter if you and those around you sit back, and eat alot of garbage.
