When I Started:
Feb, 2006
How I Started:
I decided it was time to make a change in my life. I was always skinny & not very athletic growing up. When I graduated high school, I weighed somewhere aroud 130 lbs. at 5'9". I eventually got up to about 135. A few years ago, I lost a lot of weight due to some extra-curricular activities... I'm not sure what my lowest weight was, but I'm sure it was below 115 lbs. After turning some things around & getting rid of one particularly powerful addiction, I started gaining weight again -- simply from eating regularly. It was then that I joined the gym. Worked with a personal trainer for the first couple of months to get a basic understanding of equipment and exercise. Fell in love with lifting! Plan on doing it as long as I'm physically able!
Why I Love It:
Bodybuilding is an outlet for me -- I get to watch my body change & grow while relieving stress. I feel better & look better!
How I Stay Motivated:
Watching someone make a change for the good in their life motivates me to continue! It reminds me of why I started in the first place. Seeing progress is a huge motivator. People on bb.com and work out buds can be great motivation.
BB Accomplishments:
Going from 140lbs and 14%bf to 155lbs and 8%bf in a year... I think that should count. :)
This pic is just for record -- there isn't any big change. I feel like I'm looking a little softer these days.
*I'm getting griped at about using the word "softer" so I'll say I do think I look a little "fuller" LOL
To grow as much lean muscle mass as naturally possible!
Goal (Long):
I need to see results. I'm pushing myself to see change. I'm eating better and eating more. I'm lifting heavier, never missing a day at the gym, and getting good rest. My goal is to gain some solid muscle, naturally. Generally speaking, I don't want to be big. However, relatively speaking, I want to be big for me -- I don't know how much I need to gain, but I know how I want to look. I'm thinking I need to gain about 20 lbs to see what I'm looking for. I'M READY TO GROW!
This guy is one of the most good hearted people I know -- honest & hard working! He's always able to give sound advice and is steadily working towards his own goals. Plus, pimpin' ain't easy!
This guy has been very inspirational through not only his dedication to better himself but his willingness to help others! Good guy, hard working & great heart -- not to mention he can always find the humor in things!
So my goal for the past 4 months or so has been to gain 15 lbs of lean muscle and get down to 8% body fat. My body fat has been listed as 12% because that's what it was last time I checked, but it's been quite a while since then. I recently purchased bf callipers (?) with a built in...
haha Dude! I had to hit up FLA for a few days, the sun doesn't discriminate so yeah. lol Thanks for the props but you know how it is ...still a ways to go & wanting more! NEVER SATISFIED!!
Hey man, you're looking great as always. How you manage to keep up w/ the kid and workouts is a bit amazing. What happened to Jay? Did he drop off the site?
goin pretty good bro. havent lifted for a week cause i was in vegas, then got a viral infection on the plane ride home (not swine flu, no worries), so i'm out of commission for a couple days. i start my 3rd year of medical school on monday. i just want a longer vacation...and lots more sleeeeeep! how are you? how's that little kid of yours? :)
What kind of injury. Man..I am just getting back to the gym. I was battling some problems with my back in Feb-March, then my wife was hospitalized in April, then I was out of the country and traveling almost all of May. Gained all my weight back in fat and having to start over. But pumped about getting back to it?
