When I Started:
Jun, 2001
How I Started:
I looked in the mirror about 5 1/2 years ago and saw somewhat toned physique, but just below average muscle development. I didn't work out at all, just played tennis and basketball. I thought to myself, "Wow, I bet this would look great If I were bigger". I had never thought of myself as a "big guy", and was thus immediately propelled into developing a workout regimen and applying it.
Why I Love It:
Simply put...I love the results.
How I Stay Motivated:
Easily...I have a very Type-A personality, and I HATE being small, or not progressing! Even though I'm not considered by anyone else to be small by any means, I know where I'd like to be, and HATE to be stagnant or away from my ultimate goal. It eats at me.
BB Accomplishments:
Well, I was used to being 65 Lbs. less than I am now before working out. Looking at myself now, well, that's a major bodybuilding accomplishment.

At 210 Lbs.
Continuing my cardio regimen, and just started on a light weight training plan. Reaching for my goals felt like trying to climb Mount Everest.
My ultimate goal is to be 275 lbs of ALL-NATURAL, healthy, HUGE muscle mass, start competing on stage, and place in the top 3. I consistently train for massive muscle gains, staying fit & lean, and continual overall physical progression.
Goal (Long):
Currently I'm at 255 pounds, and training to be at a LEAN 275-280 (or more, depending on the flexibility and physical convenience). I love everything about large muscle mass when it comes to aesthetics. Clothes look great, the attention is nice, and it physically feels better overall. As someone who knows what it's like to be much thinner , as I have been in the past (At 6'2", I used to be at a consistent 185-190 pounds about 6 years ago) I can truly say that I feel much happier overall in a larger muscle-weight class. As a boy, I've always admired "the bodybuilding look", and I still do to this day...only much, much more!
Adrain shows that dedication, focus, and heavy ass weight get you where you want to be. I've had some days where I didn't feel like working out, and was going to shrug it off...then I stop by his page and get inspired to go after all. Seriously. Thanks Adrain.
This subject may have already been blogged to death already, but I just want to say that I am absolutely blown away...and ecstatic that the IFBB/Olympia has made stayed true to the coarse of direction that they've started on a few years back in recognizing and awarding the men's physiques on...
Wow Devin! Thanks so much for the very kind & encouraging words and the friendship invite, I appreciate it! Best wishes to you on your training - you look great. Please drop by anytime to visit - I enjoy learning about my friends and following their progress. Hope you have a good week ~ Jen
Man, these workouts are a lot more fun than they should be considering there are a lot more of them. I'm enjoying the training a lot though even though, of course the progress could ALWAYS be better.
I'm content though. Where you been hiding?
