Background
When I Started: May 2007
HOW I STARTED:
I was tired of being skinny. I got put in headlocks a lot in middle school and was tormented by larger guys. I always wanted muscle and once I graduated from high school, I threw away the track spikes and picked up some dumbbells. I lacked the knowledge to make substantial gains until I made friends with a successful bodybuilder, Tanner Parkes. he gave me some basic advice, and I began researching and learning about what would soon become my greatest passion.
WHY I LOVE IT:
I love bodybuilding, b/c my accomplishments are based solely upon my dedication, determination, and ability to unleash the animal every time I hit the gym or the kitchen. I love that I can simply look in a mirror to judge my improvement instead of testing it against a stopwatch every week like I did during XC and track which yielded little satisfaction.

his chest ,abs ,arms, back, and traps development are truly inspiring. He is at a level of physique excellence that i am striving to reach. In a phrase the way he looks is how I want to look. I consider him a friend. He has really encouraged me and given great advice.

Are you having crazy fall weather as well? Not only did I have to scrape frozen snow off my car yesterday, we are expecting a northeaster today. I think we skipped fall & are in winter! Glad to hear things are good, been going great here as well. You keep up the impressive work, bro!

thanks man! japanese food's definitely something i could consume a lot because it's one of my top favorites.

i hope the same! Question though, what kind of stuff can you put on steak and chicken that wont mess up your diet? I asked one guy, and he told me Teriaki was okay, but to be careful with it, because i'm a big japanese food eater.

thanks man, not getting to do it religiously, but ever so often at least. I stumbled upon super cissus rx, not sure if you've ever heard of it or not. i'm gonna start using it and see if it helps me as good as it has others on this site.

8000 cals You are joking, how is it possible to consume 8000 cals per day, can you send me on a copy of your daily diet i need to see it to believe it haha, i would appreciate it very much, i take it its a bulk diet and would you not gain a lot of fat with so many calories
