Background
When I Started: Jan 2002
HOW I STARTED:
I was in a bad car accident in high school 2 weeks into football season, I broke my back, and was unable to play any sports my senior year. When I got out of bed rest, I wieghed 130 lbs. I wore a back brace for another 2 months and under went surgery. The first thing I was able to do was bench press months later. It was hard watching all my friends playing without me and lifting wieghts was a way to relieve some stress and not feel completely helpless. By graduation I was fully recovered and wieghed 165, high in body fat and low in muscle. End of my freshman year in college I was 185 and saturated with alcohol. I saw a guy in the gym that I wanted to be like and started asking questions. I got on his program and I have been hitting it hard ever since. Since 2005, by the grace of God, I have not had any drugs or alcohol, besides caffiene, and since 2008 I have been hitting the gym solid. Beginning of 2009, I have not missed a day of the 4 day program. I accepted that God could do for me what I could not do for myself, living one day at a time, living and loving life. I am in the process of stating my own fitness company, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.
WHY I LOVE IT:
I love working out because of the health benefits, I feel great. I also love seeing the transformation I have seen ever since I got serious. Helping others, and watching them achieve there goals and seeing them realize, WOW, it does work. I love giving the gift of knowledge that was so freely given to me. If that guy wasnt there for me, I would not be where I am today, and I know that.

My Motivation Program
For me it is a 45 minute get away 4 to 6 days a week. The RPM and Drive stack that I use keeps me focused, it is like I can't wait to hit the gym and kill a workout. I love the feeling it gives me through the workout and that high afterwards. I love that I can help others achieve there goals. I stay motivated through knowing that I must walk the walk. Hoping that my kids will become teenagers someday and still want to lead a healthy lifestyle through seeing that I am. Leading by example, Knowing that at the end of the day I gave it 110 percent and that is all I can do. I stay motivated for my wife and kids. There is a reason that all of us are on this earth, it is the journey that keeps me going.

There is no human power that can tell us what we are, or define us as a human being. We all have a calling that involves us overcoming fears and walking out on our own, relying on Him to lead us. My past is there and will not change, therefore I choose to not regret it, but learn from it, We are all made differently, but I believe we all have a calling, but many will take that calling to the grave because of the lack of faith, belief, and amount of fear that can paralyze you....

...the potential
Posted in Supplements : Nov 14, 2011 9:03pmTo believe with your mind, body, and soul is the beginning of releasing your potential. It seems like the higher I climb, the higher the cieling gets. But if I would of never believed in myself in the beginning, then I would of not even seen the 3rd flight of stairs. To find that peace and serenity is to get outside yourself and help another person. All things great begin go unlock in the process. Life is to short to be held back by fear and irrational thoughts of what might be. Push through it and learn when you fall, because you will. Getting back up is what seperates the them from you.

The Balancinig Act
Posted in Supplements : Aug 19, 2011 1:25pmMost everyone I talk to has a few things that they struggle with on a daily basis. It most always involves the inability to balance between two jobs, a job and kids, or family and life in general. I get overwhelmed a lot about everything I got going on, but I am truly thankful for my wife who sacrifices so much to allow me to follow my dreams. Without her I would not be where I am today. I am married, working for my father, raising 3 kids, focusing on my fitness career, and trying to be the best loving husband I can be. THIS is a balancing act. I have to prioritize and slowly let go of one thi...

Hi broh, I commend you on continuing to workout after your accident. It has really paid off for you. You have the most awesome body I've seen on this site bro. You are truely ripped and very intimidating. I only wish I lived close to someone like you where I could train and learn with you. I can only imagine what its like to take your shirt off on the beach and know people(guys and girls) are staring at you.

I'm very impressed with your faith and your drive. I was reading your 4-day program and i'm a little confused. I understand resting between sets but do you also want the timed rest between each rep? Did i read this wrong? If you could explain i would be grateful. Thanks.

Hi Booker, I was wandering how the Ben Booker Stack from Applied Nutriceuticals has been working for you and the type of gains you have seen in both fat loss and mass gained? I am 32, 5'9" 195, 34-35" waist, and am wanting to gain some size but also look athletic not like the pro bodybuilders of today more like the Frank Zane's etc..! Thanks for your time!

Have any suggestions for activating the lower abdominals and getting them to "pop"? Hanging leg raises just aren't working at the moment.
