"gain strength and muscle/loose body fat and have more energy for playing with my kids"

Age:
Location: Madison, Indiana, United States
Occupation: welder/custom fabricator
Personal Website:

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.
BB Accomplishments: i never entered a contest. i didnt think i was ready yet.my mom and sister tried to get me to enter a contest at ball state were my mom was a professor and my sis was going to school at the time. but i wanted to be a monster on my 1st outing.(didnt want to go on stage till i looked like arnold,lou or fox)

neck = 19
chest = 57.5
arms = 22
waist = 33
legs = 31
calves = 20
bodyfat 8%

best lifts (raw and no wraps,and natural never tried steroids)
squat-775
deads-805
bench-5 35

firemans carry 500lbs log 40ft and place in bed of truck.

Thanks. Training drug-free keeps you young! I definitely see a difference between a 40 year old natural versus a 40 year old drug-assisted athlete.
