When I Started:
May, 2000
How I Started:
I got started with serious lifting some time during the early parts of 2000. I thought I was too heavy and wanted to loose some wight. I had some great results in the first 6 months and since then I have been training first to keep it off and then more for mass and strength.
Why I Love It:
I love it because of the way it makes me feel. Some say its like a runners high but I know its better than that. I'm pretty sure Arnold had the right idea in pumping iron with his views on the topic.
How I Stay Motivated:
I like to read Muscle and Fitness along with finding motivation from people on sites like this one or myspace. Its nice to read about new workouts and see peoples success pictures and stories.
BB Accomplishments:
When I first started lifting weights and eating a better diet in 2000 I went from being a chubby teen at 225-230lbs to about 170-175lbs in around 4 or 5 months. Over the years since I have worked to keep the fat levels down and gain muscle mass. I don't know what my body fat percentages have been in the past but I believe I am currently between 13% and 15% and weigh about 206lbs depending on the day and time.

Progress Pictures
This member has not uploaded any progress pictures yet.
The summer was very tough. I was lucky to maintain what I had going in. I need to get back on track and make some progress!!!
Goal (Long):
I want to add some lean mass to round out my frame in a more muscular fashion. I also want top try and tighten up that midsection of mine to make it more defined. I want to feel more comfortable at the beach! :)
Which pro bodybuilder/fitness/figure competitor has the ideal physique? Why?
I think that the guys like Arnold, Lou Ferrigno, and Frank Zane had the right idea. Big and proportioned but not totally insane and blown out like the guys today. The guys today deserve their props for getting so huge and massive, but, I just prefer the classics from the era of Arnold and Lou.I think that the guys like Arnold, Lou Ferrigno, and Frank Zane had the right idea.

Do you tell your friends and/or family about your fitness goals?
Yes
Why or why not?
I tell my girl friend, brother, and father what I am up to. My brother lifts too so it is nice to share goals with each other.

What tips would you give to others to help them stay motivated over the long-term?
Body building can be a SLOW process... It has been for me. Be patient, stay focused, make sure you are doing things correctly and you will see results.
I have been going out a lil too much lately but its the summertime and the only time where I really go out to the clubs or city events ya know? I had the last week off of working out and I ramped it up this week with workout in the morning at my work gym and then in the evening as well. You gonna work out hard again? You better! I want to see progress now! :)
Yeah, I honestly don't plan any of them. I was trying to get used to the camera because my web guy thought it would be good for my fitness site. So I just drove around with it for a couple days. I just seriously talk to myself ALOT & there's lots of embarrassing things on those tapes like me singing - I just forgot it was there. :)
Thanks so much for stopping by. Well you have to take a little time out of your busy schedule to take care of yourself. :) Hope you have a great week sweetie! XO
Thanks Adam. Of course, I'll share...wait...no postal service today and the seafood doesn't keep long. Maybe next go 'round. Happy Memorial Day! *smile*
Hey things are great, leaving for the beach tomorrow morning! woo woo! Got some good friends going, I'm sure it's going to be a good weekend of forgoten memories LOL
