"16 weeks out from OCB Charm City Classic in Baltimore, MD....Let's do it!"

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Bobby
Sex: Male
Age: 39
Location: Centreville, Virginia, United States
Occupation: NSCA-CPT
Personal Website: http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/b b1968
Gym: BodySmith
Gym Location: Washington, DC
When I Started: Feb, 2006
How I Started: I started lifting weights around the age of 14. I continued until I got married and had kids at the age of 23. After 10 years of marriage, we divorced and my life went to hell due to my alcohol and drug abuse. However, I can happily say that, by the grace of God, I haven't had a drink or drug since January 03, 2005. I decided to get back into lifting and do something positive with my life. I had always wanted to compete but circumstances (mainly alcohol and drugs) always prevented me from accomplishing my dreams. With the help of God, I will now achieve those dreams.
Why I Love It: It is just me, the iron, and the force of gravity. The feeling I get when I overcome the gravitional forces with a personal record lift....PRICELESS!
How I Stay Motivated: The never ending quest of getting bigger and stronger. Seeing the numbers in the log book get bigger and bigger.
BB Accomplishments: Placing in the top 5 in all classes in my first year (2007) of competing.
Forum Signature: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil.4:13

Patience and perserverance are the keys to surmounting difficulty.

This was taken at the beginning of my cutting phase after a 12 week mass (in reality a fat a@@ from eating way too much by not counting nutritional values) phase. I weighed 209 here.  Before pic in prep for OCB Charm City Classic in Baltimore, MD on Oct. 18, 2008

Bobby, your pre contest prep pictures look great! Your quads have exploded in size since the Arnold to compliment your excellent arms and back. You should drop these pics in your progress section. Have a great weekend bro! -Jeff

Hey Bobby! Just thought I'd pop by ... diet has been going well. At about 3600 calories and I have been gaining about a lb a week for the last month or so. Hope all is well with you and your move has been profitable.

Hey B, the trail riding has been few and far between. For some reason, MI is still in a rainy season, at least on the days I can ride. How's the bike job going? Do you have a top secret road bike in the works? -Jeff

Hey B, how's life in DC? I saw your note to Carl that you are in contest prep mode. I'm looking forward to seeing your gains. I took a week from training and headed to Florida with the family. It was excellent and for me I did not gaining or loosing any weight. -Jeff

AWESOME work Bobby! You have built one wickedly strong low back. I can not imagine deadlifting 410! Since I have vacation and traveling coming up this month, I'm planning on hitting arms, calves and abs only for three weeks and then I may start the advanced 5X5. -Jeff

Hi bobby! Hope you had a good Memorial Day weekend. I see you've moved to Virginia and the DC area now? How did the MS biking event go?

Week 9 complete! It is now hands down tough but I'm going to continue soldiering on! You are right; it will take some time for a routine to develop so that you can then start training consistently once again. Good luck, have fun and enjoy the MS ride coming up. -Jeff

Hey Bobby, great to hear from you! I was wondering how the move went. I am excited for you and looking forward to talking with you about your new career. I finished Week 7 of the 5X5 today and I sure am feeling it or maybe it's from working on my wife's car today ;) -Jeff

Thanks for getting me hooked on the 5X5 Bobby! I am amazed how far I have gone with the program and only at Week 6. I put another 15mi on the MTB today. The bike is now totally dialed in and I had an excellent ride, both speed and time improvements. Not bad for hitting squats the day before. So, what has been going on with you the past few days? -Jeff
