Wanted to change my answer to the question of do I workout from a reluctantly embarrased "No" to a chuckling dead-panned "Not at all, why do you ask?"
"Mens Sana in Corpore Sano." Sound Mind in a Sound Body. You can't have One, without the Other.
Plus, I seem to get a charge from challenging my "limits" in all aspects of my 'reality', hence my inevitable journey into the Land of Iron. (Yeah, Buddy!!!)
Why I Love It:
Not one negative aspect about it (Update: Apparently some consider a borderline Obsession a negative...)
Lowers my stress threshold, i.e. "Turns down the volume" on life's difficulties.
Maintain the same waist since High School, makes every shirt in my closet look custom-made. (Ha!) Update: Now finding the right size pants AND boxers is becomin' a sumovab*tch of a challenge.
More importantly, besides food, it's another aspect in my life where I have 99.9% total influence and control.
Bonus: Being able to be consistent or surpass last week's max weight/rep is an incredible affirmation that you can take guilt-free satisfaction in!
How I Stay Motivated:
Use EVERY trick in the book. Constantly read and reread mags, websites, ask question from the 'experts' @ my gym. Watch videos (Yep, I even have Pumping Iron stored in my MP3 player!)
Just as important, I talk shop and swap stories and motivate/reciprocate with my closest buds and online friends.
This is why I know I'll reach the next level with the Bodyspace community.
UPDATE: Started training @ Gold's Maxx to surround myself with like-minded zealots.

Taken right after a workout and shower. Still remember how pleased I was that day. LOL! Little did I know...
And this is why I don't trust the workouts of the pros in magazines. Ha ha, in MD he's never said he's done anything that crazy. That must have been a flex article or something.
Ha ha, I don't see myself doing all of that though and thats just because of the leg extensions. It does sound like a good way to break someone though. Hhhhmmmm
Thanks.
Aaaahhh man.
And I was just looking for something to do HIIT wise that didn't involve me doing something redundant. Or a new way to torture my legs without squats.
Ha ha, if I could hit up on on IM, I'd be congratulating you and giving you all types of craziness points.
*tries to figure out where to insert that into his weekend and still be able to walk worth something*
Man, thats my fave exercise period and thats only because its evil but not as evil as the squat. I wish I trained forearms directly but I don't.
Ha ha, you got kids staring at you nowadays. Geez, yeah you are doing something right. Ha ha, they probably freak out seeing a dude bigger than their pops too.
Its fun though.
whats the website link bro??? thats cheap bro!!!!! 3 scoops damn?? i take one and im bouncin off the walls!!! how you like the front double bi?? i never done one before....

Ok, im slowly getting back! Well, wowy, manifest that physique. "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it." William Arthur Ward
hahaha i benched 405, squat 455 and DL only 380 so im slackin in the Dl area, any tips bro??? i need to build up my back mass!! this is my bulk month so i need to pack on some serious mass!
-Elijah
no hahaha i wish bro.......i can do 9 on each side for now, but im working on that, didnt think anyone watched my videos bro. im about to go hit the deadlifts here in a min.......
-Elijah
Never really thought about it like that. LMAO, I'm about to prep one in a few minutes myself just because, its been a long day, I got about 4 hours of sleep last night, and I didn't get to workout yesterday.
Ha ha, I never really paid attention to the reward thing. Just due to being so focused on getting the torture over with I usually just went in, got everything done with the laserlike focus, leave and eat. :-)
You should write a blog posting. Speaking of blogs.
Yeah i know bro i went in the gym the other day without it....did like 3 sets....went back to my room, took 1 scoop and went back to hit it hard....im trying im trying hahaha thats good bro! and ill def keep it safe and real bro!!
-Elijah
NO preworkout products are great. I knew you'd go back. The month off does let you appreciate what life is like without them.
Plus well, for those people that don't have a good mind-muscle connection all the stimulants in them makes the whole lack of one that much worst. What kind of crazy training you got planned for this weeekend?
And funny I ask that. I keep getting all these job offers in Columbus.
Have fun back on the sauce. By the way, you ever take VPX NO Shotgun?
