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.

Who's going to be at the Arnold Classic next month?  Looking forward to meeting some of my fellow bodyspacer's!  Met a few last year and hoping to meet more this year. 

I am now in DC working as a personal trainer and trying to prepare to step back on stage later this year at the NPC...

Hey Bobby, just checking in. How are you doing? I've been marching along and adding lean mass. I'll keep at it until Jan 1 then it's time to start cutting for contest season starting in April. -Jeff

Biking does your legs good, that's for sure. The scoring was posted just a little while ago and I placed 11th out of 15. -Jeff

Hey Bobby, I did not place top five in the open middleweight class so I need to wait a few days to see where I ended up. BTW, you look on track for your comp in your latest progress pics. Especially with your legs. -Jeff

Thanks Bobby! I've been tanning and working around the house a lot so my color is looking pretty good. Cals are at 1,000-1,200/day currently. I'm keeping track of my food intake with another Excel spreadsheet. Weight is at 162# so I am on my way to 154.25# I've also been getting out on the trails with the mountain bike so cardio has been improved since the March show. Are you in contest prep mode now? If so, how's it going? -Jeff

Excellent! I'm glad to see that you are in contest prep mode, Bobby. My prep is going very well. I am already at the condition I was 4 weeks out from my first comp. Hopefully this translates to better looking lower abs! -Jeff
