Fit Status:
On to week 3 of BBB. Got a good friend home that will be working out with me, Cant wait!!
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. He gave me a book that he got his workout from, I got on it and have been on it ever since, on and off. 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.
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.
How I Stay Motivated:
For me it is a 45 minute get away 4 days a week. I love the feeling it gives me through the workout and that high afterwards. I also now it is paying off whenever all kinds of people ask how i got to where I am now and what workout i do. A lot of people seem to really want to now and I love that I could 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.
BB Accomplishments:
Hopefully becoming the next 2010 bodyspace spokesperson model, I can I will!!!

Goal (Long):
Would like to bread into the world of fitness modeling. I want to try to add solid lean muscle while keeping that bodyfat off. I really enjoy making a difference in peoples lives as well, there really is no better feeling than helping others. To be put in a position to inspire as many peopls as I can. Help others to become healthier and achieve their goals so that they came become physically and spiritually stronger. To live everyday and regret nothing. To accept this world as it is, and to have complete serenity. To pay attention to what God puts in front of me, and to do His Will, not mine.
His attitude and outlook upon life is insperational. I strive to be the best person I can be on a daily basis and fall short many of days. He is humble and successful. P.U.S.H is my new motto.

My workout is out of a book called "Big Beyond Belief". I have been on the 4 day a week program out of the book on and off now for about 7 years. It wasn't until recently I began to up the intensity of it and I have been going strong for about seven months. There is a 6 day a week program in...
What's up man. Workouts aren't too bad. I don't think I varied my exercises enough the first couple of week. But I added a few machines in the mix...What about you?
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting me on your most inspirational list. It is people like you that keep me inspired as well as allowing me to believe that I can make a difference in people’s lives.
Stay strong, focused and determined & may God bless.
Thank you for your great reply. You are proof that...“God didn't promise you a day without pain, laughter without sorrow or sun without rain.
But He did promise you strength for the day, comfort for your tears and a light for your way.”
I dropped by to congratulate you and to say that you look fantastic! You have the body that so many men dream of but are not willing to put the work into developing. I compliment you on your dedication, determination as well as your achievements. You are a fantastic inspiration to others, especially me. Stay strong, focused and determined and may God bless.
Your welcome man. When I see your pictures I just feel motivated to work harder. Thank You for offering help to me. I will defiantly take up that offer when I need to. Thanks again for the fat loss advice I started the supplements this morning before cardio.
