When I Started:
Sep, 1974
How I Started:
a few of my friends dads were bodybuilders and i seen them transform before my eyes and thought it was cool.
but when i seen pics of arnold and lou in musclebuilder mags as a kid i was hooked and wanted to get BIG!
Why I Love It:
i just love being big and strong.
ilove the sounds of the clinking plates, the smell of the iron the heft of it in your hands. the focus and determination you get into when your "in the zone"durring a workout when everything else around you ceases to exsist but you and that set!
and setting new personal bests is as satisfying as sex(well almost)
How I Stay Motivated:
ive been off for over 14 years and am getting back into serious lifting again, and i do find it much harder now at 40 than it was when i was younger.
but when i look at ronnie or catch a worlds strongest man compitition on espn
i get motivated to move some iron.
good training partners are a must.its hard to train heavy alone as i am now somedays i just dont feel like lifting after a hard day at work.

Hey, sorry I missed your comment from like a year ago! I slowly drifted away from my page and haven't been here in forever. But I needed some motivation, so I'm back ;)
I'm actually still in the Army. I was 42AF5 (postal) and am now 79V (retention). I'm a reservist though, only active time was Iraq 04-05.
