When I Started:
2005
How I Started:
I have been pretty athletic all through college hitting the gym to better myself at b-ball, crew, and rugby, but after my 1st deployment to Iraq, my (now) good friend Sylvia Garcia convinced me to try doing a bodybuilding show. It was great, I learned alot. I also box, run distance, and am getting into triathlons in May.
Why I Love It:
The real REAL reason (beside below - cause that's real too) I started working out is because (don't laugh) when I was younger - I use to like to draw like near nude people - like muscular people all the time (in pencil) muscles always fascinated me then...but as I got older I realized I was kinda good at the whole athletics thing - then figured out bodybuilding was like drawing muscular people - except I got to do it on myself...which was even cooler--cause then I could walk around with them;).
ALSO, though, bodybuilding gives me the opportunity to destress sometimes high stress military environment, I can meet healthy active people, AND maintain my ability to beat up Soldiers (just kidding, lol - but it does help with the occupation).
How I Stay Motivated:
Watching changes in my body endurance wise and noticing muscular strength increase - size doesn't on me just because I'm naturally like..skinny.
BB Accomplishments:
4th Place in Armed Forces European Bodybuilding Championships Nov 05. July 06 in Iraq I dead lifted 315 lbs. That was a trip ;) Finished first 1/2 Marathon in 1:49.10. More to come...<grin>

My workout program consist of doing getting the most out of the least amount of time. I'm only going to work out 4 days a week (if possible) and focus on compound movements:
Day one: Squat/Abs (one day for reps, one day for poundage)
Day two: Off
Day three: Bench/Abs (flat, incline,...
