When I Started:
Jun, 1974
How I Started:
I started the summer of my Freshman year to put on some weight ( I was not really that serious during HS) but then late in my 20's I got the bug and then around 1995 I decided to become a PT and the rest is history! Around 1978 I fractured my back in a motorcycle accident and the doctors said I would never be able to lift again, so out of spite thru study and research I rebuilt my back and today my lower back is stronger then it was before. Now I am a fanatic about Weight training and Health.
Why I Love It:
The feeling of intensity and how it leaves you pumped, the fact that it relieves stress, man thier is so many reasons to lift and lift heavy especially as you Age! Look out World The Arizona Oak is heading out!
How I Stay Motivated:
MaxGXL's Patent Pending Formula Dramatically Increases Intracellular GSH. MaxGXL provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body's own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione. MaxGXL also aids in liver support, thus helping the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for glutathione. If your looking for a Product that can improve your Health and Performance or looking for a Company that you can get aboard and grow with this is the right time the right product and with a Company that has a Vision to help others. This is a great time to work for yourselves, Join with me for the Future! MAX/GXL Max International "I am the man responsible for who I am. When I look in the mirror each day, I stare my creator in the eyes. I am responsible for what I will become, I am accountable for what I will or will not accomplish. I believe in myself and God, and I bow to no man and my only critic of any consequence to me is the one that walks that mile in my shoes.
BB Accomplishments:
none yet but they are comming.

Just me outside the Gym
Just thought I would show what I look like outside the gym. I may not always where a jacket, but I usually have a shirt and Tie on. I believe in creating an appearance of success, and just looking good baby.

He is doing what I want to do and I look forward to competing against him in the future!
loeltubbs [ BodySpace ]
This guy is amazing, and I want to be as graceful on stage as he is. For a 50 yr old to get started is really hard and it makes it so much harder not knowing, or having anyone to talk to or to model after, I get excited again just looking at someone like him that is my size and even a little older but it tells me I can do this.

Why I like this video: Bill Gillespie, 275, bench pressed 711 pounds on Thursday at the WABDL World Championships The bench press is a WABDL Masters 47-53 World Record, surpassing Roger Ryan's 650 pounds from earlier this year. It also ranks Gillespie sixteenth on the multi ply Powerlifting Watch Lifter Rankings. Another Athlete using MAX/GXL.
