Overall Goal:  Its a lifestyle, and I live it, each day I strive to get more committed.

When I Started:
Feb, 2005
How I Started:
I got hooked onto it in college.
Why I Love It:
The mood enhancement, the motivation, the changes in myself I can see and feel. Just the feeling I get when working out and afterwards. Beta-endorphins you know. I'll get my IFBB procard in about 10 years lol. But in reality, working out is the greatest stress reliever in the world. You tend to forget about all of the bs when you're under a couple of hundred pounds of weight. "The Iron never lies..."
How I Stay Motivated:
All of my ppl on bodyspace. When I see the pics and msgs of my friends on here sticking with the program, I'm compelled to stick with it too. I am my own motivation. 24/7. Other than that here are some things that motivate me: 1)Muscle and Fitness Magazine 2)Music 3)Increased Strength and Endurance 4)Great Stamina 5)People who stare 6)Hypertrophy, Improved Cardiovascular development(The Pipes) 7)The Mirror. Things to Remember: There's no round on stage that's the bench press round. Proper form and technique will take you alot further than fumbling with weight you can't control. Have Faith in God.
BB Accomplishments:
16 weeks, 8 bulking and 8 cutting. 8% BF Loss 233 to 260 to 242lbs.
Forum Signature:
I'm committed, its my lifestyle. Every choice you make is either advancing your progress towards your goals or getting in the way of them. Pershing Rifleman Have faith in God.
