A buddy in high school had biceps like baseballs. I started doing concentration curls while watching TV with some old weights of my dad's. After a month, I was beating my dad at arm wrestling. I put a cheap bench in my room and started working upper body and reading Muscle and Fitness whenever I could. Then, I noticed my lower body was going nowhere. I threw that in. One day I found a public gym where a guy was putting guys through routines four days per week. In months, I had gained lots of muscle and all of my friends were commenting on it. I've been hooked ever since.
Why I Love It:
I love the way my body looks and feels. I love the reaction I get on the rare occassions I take off my shirt or wear shorts. I love people approaching me at the gym for advice. I love knowing I can do whatever I want and not worry about whether my body is up to it.
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking in the mirror each morning. Knowing I can still get better.
Thanks for all the encouraging comments and adds! They are truly motivational for me!
Brief note for some of the guys: While I am very flattered by the attention, I am also very straight (at least I was last time I was in a relationship - It's been a while). I have to think it is those damn turquoise posing trunks causing some confusion. I thought matching my eyes was a good idea. Who knew? New trunks are on the way. Sorry about any confusion and good luck to you! :-)
The ladies here have been much more appropriate, but please know this is a hobby site for me. It is not a personals add to me. Thanks! dwj

All those moments will be lost in time; like tears in rain.
I have promised myself for years that I would compete just once. I am in Baghdad for a year and have a gym handy. Seems like the end of this year is the right time to fulfill that goal. September 26, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia looks like the time.
I am not shooting for mass. Other guys can have the mass. I want the most perfect proportions I can obtain and to be ripped.

I took the APFT today (sort of). The Army Physical Fitness Test is three events you have to do twice per year to prove you are in shape. It is graded on a scale and could play into your evaluations and career. The three events are pushups (all you can do in two minutes), situps (all you...
It really is so nice to be back haha! although my fitness journey has to start all over again, I`m finding myself more determined! I`ve already lost about 40 pounds since she`s been born so I`m doing fairly well :D
How`s everything going for you!? It`s been a while!
You have an amazing back, bro. The separation between all the muscles are there. It's incredible and you should be proud. I cannot seem to beef up my lats, suggestions? (I do DB shrugs and BB shrugs) Behind the back shrugs perhaps?

Hey man. You have achieved absolute perfection. 100% amazing in every aspect, buddy. Keep at it and keep inspiring those of us who haven't accomplished what you have accomplished. In my case, I know I never will come close, it still I can strive to make gains.
