When I Started:
Jan, 2004
How I Started:
My brother and his friend used to workout together. I went along one day and enjoyed myself. I was not consistent at the time. Also, my girlfriend needed to loose weight, so I bought us both memberships, and went with her daily. Great way to keep her motivated and spend time together.
Why I Love It:
I have always admired the bodies of the muscular and ripped. Not the Ronnie Colemans (a bit too extreme for me). Plus I love the feeling of power, complements recieved, people staring at me, cool people I have met, and the respect.
How I Stay Motivated:
I am very confident now. Before I began working out my confidence level was much lower. Getting to physical condition I am in wasn't easy, I am not quitting now. Plus I'd hate to see the old me. I get a lot of love from people in the gym that I would have only met had I been lifting. My fiance loves showing off my pics.
BB Accomplishments:
Reaching 220lbs body weight.
Benching 245lbs for 23 reps (never thought I would be able to lift 260lbs)
Assisted fiance to loose 70+ lbs.

I was supposed to be showing him the ropes and how to train and eat right. His enthusiasm when training inspired me to push myself out of "just maintaining", into the next level of physical improvement.
So I am comming out of Kroger (grocery store) and I run into a guy that I see in the gym at least several times during the week. He looks the same all the time. I doubt he only goes to the gym for maintenance only, since every so often he’ll ask for advice about this and that…

I do this workout regimine because I can hit all necessary body parts often enough while allowing me to go to school during the week and not have to worry about having time for the gym.
I will add more detail...
think i def. stepped up my game since i first met you here. You were good inspiration. Looks like you've set the bar again though - I've got work to do
