When I Started:
Feb, 2007
How I Started:
The first time I really got into weight lifting when I was deployed to Bosnia back in 1995. Being in the Army, moving and trainng all the time, working out is always a off and on thing.
Why I Love It:
Love to stay in shape, feels great when people tell you how good you look.
How I Stay Motivated:
I have two little ones at home and I want to be able to keep up with them when they get older. My Gang here on BodySpace: Kashya - the Wife impact_05 germarican79 jayw221986 timmytimmah88 countrygirl88 Jackson15
BB Accomplishments:
After breaking the bone in my foot running one morning, it took a while to get back in shape. Finding out my back was messed up(partial slipped disk(middle of my back), Lower back has = partial fusion due to bone lose, bone thinning. Muscle spasms, conjoined nerve roots ... and mild case of Scoliosis)really bad didn't help. I had to find new ways to get in shape, which was a lot of trial and error, but I stuck in there. Since I got to Iraq for my second tour, (1 AUG 07) I have dropped to 230lbs and Dropped 5% BF (22%) and Benched 300 lbs

Hello, I hope the Army reconsiders its 211 pound limit, right? Dang, it seems silly. You're way fitter than most guys of 210 pounds.

I completely understand bud. Like I said in my profile, I'm the ultimate self-admitted wimp. Keep up the fight, you'll work through it. If not, I'll come down there and kick your ass until you do. (If you don't kick mine first LOL)

I wanted to let you know that this week is already kicking and I am making the gym bow to my will. The cardio sessions are off the hook and the weight training is going really good too. Thank you for the additional motivation in my desire to reach my goal (Sept 30, Class is over) Have a great week and God Bless - Jefferson

Alright!!!!l Lets kick the stuff out of todays expectations in both the gym and dcardio sessions. I got track (3miles/Speed work/and dynamic exercises this morning and then for the gym tonight I got legs and abs. Then finish it off with some light cardio (45 minutes). Lets do it and get pumped.

You know...today was an awesome day to workout and the cause for this is that the heart was pumping which made blood enter the veins and cause them to grow...I mean this, because, with motivational people like yourself, you makes me stronger in the sense that with dedication and desire..I can accomplish anything that is in front of me. Thanks and keep up the awesome work.

No man, I meant to say that I have been doing 2 a days with cardio. I am seeing a change in the structure of my body, but I am still a little concerned about my mid section. I am starting to feel the abs but the fat is sxtill hiding them. A little mind game I know but the hurdle seems a little high. Have a great weekend.

I gotcha there brother, I started to do the same thing. I mean get in and get out of the gym. No more super sets of a lot of different exercises, jus thte basics and compound exercises. Plus my cardio still twice a week. I am also doing the Power 90 series now. So the trimming down should be really good now. Will keep ya updated.
