When I Started:
Jan, 2003
How I Started:
I was always very weak and skinny, I never cared much about it though. Then as I got older I noticed how much more respect, and attention big guys got. So I worked to build my body up and I just got addicted. I was always fascinated by more muscular and extremely lean physiques even at a very young age.
Why I Love It:
It is just an amazing feeling, it makes me feel better, and its a great outlet. I don't know what I would do without the gym/bbing in my life, it has completely changed and improved my life.
How I Stay Motivated:
Having that ideal image in my head and letting nothing get in my way of attaining it.
BB Accomplishments:
Reaching my first goal of hitting 210 lbs, then my second of getting to 230. Getting on stage. Striated Glutes, getting very lean.

Wtfux. I take it theyre a genetic strong point eh?? I didnt train mine at all, I tended to ignore a few bodyparts (arms/shoulders) and it really screwed me over time lol. I trained them for 3 months and saw some nice development but thats all x_x
