"2009 NPC Great Lakes Natural Ironman & Natural Michigan... had to close the 2008 competition season due to uncontrollable life events & minor re-injury of back."
I worked out throughout highschool & college athletics. But I really did not have any bodybuilding knowledge or the belief that I could make any considerable gains until 1995. I competed in 1998, winning the overall at the NANBF Flint Natural Star. I was in the best shape of all competitors that day but realized that I needed much more size on my 6'1 frame, even for the natural ranks. I then sustained a serious back injury, squating in 1999 & was sidelined for a year+. I have been training from moderate to severe intensity ever since 2004 after graduating from nursing school. I will be back!
Why I Love It:
I love seeing what I can do with my body. Like the old analogy of the painter and the canvas. I enjoy lifting weights but dislike cardio for the most part. LK is teaching me to like it more tho! The necessary evil but less if you train hard and eat right.
How I Stay Motivated:
1. Look into the mirror.
2. Lindsay. Lindsay. Lindsay!
3. Goals not yet achieved.
4. Fellow bodybuilders on the forums!
5. Birthdays...
BB Accomplishments:
1999 Flint Natural Star Tall Class & Overall Winner
2008 NPC Mid Michigan 3rd Lt Hvy

2009 NPC Great Lakes Natural Ironman & Natural Michigan... had to close the 2008 competition season due to uncontrollable life events & minor re-injury of back.
Goal (Long):
Gain maximum muscle and keep bodyfat as low as possible. Quality, quality, quality!
Competing in the NPC now. I want to place well in NPC beginner level shows. Get my lean muscle above 200Lbs to compete in the heavy weight class. Do the Natural Michigan & Natural Northern USA (Cleveland, OH) in 2009. Those shows qualify you for the NPC Team Universe (national level show) which I hope to be ready for in 2010. Making the Universe is my main bb goal! I would like to also do the NPC Masters Nationals in 3-4 years. But it is becoming saturated with great long-term NPC amateurs who never turned pro. Probably due to the coveted IFBB pro card now available. I would like to open my gym in the next 5 - 10 years.

Do you currently have a workout partner?
Yes
Why do you like having a workout partner? What are the benefits?
Motivation, spotter, someone to feed off of and push or be pushed by. Better workouts, more focus are benefits...besides she's my g/f & into fitness so it's a plus plus for me!
Just began using EST Propadrol, Thermostat & Suppressor. Day two on Propadrol produced immediate increase in my strength during my chest workout. I felt a sustained energy & workout intensity from the Thermostat. Greater than that of VPX Redline and equal to BSN Endorush but minus...
yes the mile high was a national qualifier. I have never been to the arnold classic. Someone told me that me qualifying for nationals I can do Arnold Classic Amateur. If that is the case i will try that also
Yea I was going to but now I changed my mind. After my show in Vegas in July 12th I am going to try to bulk up and prepare for the November 21 and 22 at the USA National in Atlanta. I want to see how I compare to guys that are not all the way natural.
I usually stay about this lean year round. I will do a show on June 7th to get all the nerves out but I won't be watered or dieted down. I am preping for an all natural show in Las Vegas July 12th
