Westside Barbell style is jumping all my lifts and removing all my injuries. I wish I would have listened sooner.

Background
When I Started: Oct 1980
HOW I STARTED:
I was a sickly child who was always being picked on by bullies. I started Wrestling and started weight-training in the off season. I gained too much muscle weight and lost my spot on the team. I was done with cutting too much weight and not being allowed to gain muscle. Within less than 2 years I put 20lbs (16% increase in muscle mass) of pure muscle on without knowing much about nutrition or correct training.
WHY I LOVE IT:
Weight-training saved my life. If I wouldn't have started weight-training I would be the sickly underweight guy I was. At age 43 I destroy all of my childhood friends. I use to be the last one picked for team sports and now I could run circles around any of those guys. I can now even run circles around most 20somethings.

My Motivation Program
I just look in the mirror at what I've accomplished. I don't want to eat at McDonald's because I know it will destroy all of what I've built over the last 29 years. I want to be in the gym instead of the bar because I know I'm doing something good for myself instead of doing nothing. Most people watch sports while I do sports.

Hi Dan! Just catching up with you. I did some heavy lifting at the Arnolds and the Military Nationals. My latets Blog has some of the details and loaded a Progress Pic from the Mil Natls. Getting ever closer to getting that raw squat over 600! Let me know whats going on in your lifting!

Ok, I was reading your body Blog on your workouts and I was wondering if what you are doing is CrossFit Training? I did that for a year and loved the workouts. I had to stop due to finances but incorporate the exercises in my workouts. I feel great after and feel like I have completed a full body workout rather then a single area workout.

Dan, thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Great response and you obviously know how to set goals and crush them, which explains why you have some out of this world lifts. Most people would look at the bar and walk you, but you get under it and never look back. Now that

Dan, I only used a squat suit once, never used a deadlift suit, and a bench shirt for a couple of years. So I have been mostly Raw for most of my lifting career. However, I only cut out knee wraps these last two years. Never would have guessed it but my knees are way better now! Now instead of squatting deep with my knees the weight is shifted into my hips. I am only 29 lbs from my best squat with knee wraps and I expect to pass that by next spring. Raw is the way to go!
