By the end of 2008 I want to get lean enough to see my abs while maintaining the mass I have!
Goal (Long):
Up to the age of 38 I let my body take a backseat to other things in my life. I've enjoyed working out for short periods over the years, but never stuck with it. I started working out 4 years ago and I am determined to make improving my body a priority for the rest of my life so I can feel good about myself and avoid health problems. I get great satisfaction when someone at the gym asks for help or advice and they comment that they can see I'm doing something right! I want to be a role model for all the 40+s I meet who are looking for motivation to make a change in their own lives.
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
Hurt a muscle in my shoulder trying to do a dip. I didn't really know how to do it properly and I wasn't strong enough for that exercise. I recovered just by resting more and by doing low weight/higher rep shoulder exercises.Hurt a muscle in my shoulder trying to do a dip.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Poor form and trying to lift more weight than they are ready for! I see this a lot with the teens who are at the gym with buddies and are tying to outlift and impress everyone else!
Happy Canada Day to all Canadian bodyspace members out there! Hope your holiday was a great one. At the start of 2008 I set a goal for the year that was very ambitious for me.... I want to see my abs. I've blogged before about how important this is for me, and it still is important, but as...
Thanks Tony! Yep, hungry for more! Just have to be careful not to push too hard. It was not my intent, but when I realized I was grabbing the wrong plate, I thought "what the heck", I knew I had it in me. Thats what led to the attempt.
Deads do work my hams, lower back and glutes intensly, But I also get a better lat burn doing deads than on non deadlift days. I`ve been doing deads every other training cycle. Been going up about 10 - 15 lbs a month.
i just got done reading your blog about deadlifting. good piece man. i have been in that same situation a few times and i handled it the same way. excited and humble.
What a sweet comment! Thank you so much! :) I really enjoying reading people's blogs - there's something so unifying about reading of others' struggles and triumphs that makes me feel a little less alone in the world. :) I hope your day is just lovely! :)
Thanks for posting to my blog. The show was great, I won my class and the Overall. I've added a few more blogs and Admin featured me on the front page of BB.com
hey buddy! the workouts are going good, I've gained a bit of muscle since I took my profile pic and become a bit more toned, but I'm going to wait another 2 weeks or so, not only to use a better camera, but to become more defined. :-D How have you been man? Hope you're going great!
Hi Tony - Good seeing ya around! I have been cutting fat for a couple months now and after a few more pounds I am gonna add some lean mass for my Fall contest. Good luck with your goals!
Hey Tony, thanks for stopping by to say hi! Hope your weekend is going great, and that you're doing well. I've been better, but tomorrow's a new day. Going to get that focus back!!
