My roommate trained with a top bodybuilder for years before I had met him. I had seen the progress he had made over the 3 years I'd known him and was inspired to do something equally impressive for myself.
Why I Love It:
I love working out because there were times before I started lifting when I'd be home feeling like I should be doing more with my life. I always felt like I was missing out on something. When I'm at the gym I feel like that's exactly where I should be.
How I Stay Motivated:
My family's health history helps a lot! My grandfather passed away from a heart attack when I was 9 months old, my grandmother passed away 3 years ago from a weak heart, my sister has had irregular heartbeats in the past, and my father recently had a stent inserted in an artery in his heart. We're not an overweight family, I just don't ever want to die, and since that's impossible I'd like to live as long and healthy as my body will allow.
BB Accomplishments:
When I first started working out back in December '06 I couldn't even do 2 pullups of my own weight. After sticking with it, I can now do 3 sets of 8 reps. There will be other accomplishments in the future, this is all I have worth mentioning, check back every now and again!

I seriously didn't think I made any progress, but putting these shots up really shows me I did. This has been a positive thing in my quest for my perfect body.
Not gaining as much as I want. It's only because I'm impatient, lol.
Why do you like having a workout partner? What are the benefits?
It's a great way to do forced reps and to really take it to failure. Also, I feel the competition when we're moving up in the weights since we are almost the same build.
Anyone else take Animal Cuts? Has anyone encountered headaches after finishing the 21-day cycle? It seems to be what I'm experiencing now and it's the only change I've made in the passed 3 weeks and it has me worried.
