Colosseum Gym 525 Irvington Ave Newark, NJ United States
College:
High School:
When I Started:
1998
How I Started:
Started lifting to get faster for track and liked how I felt after lifting. Eventually track faded as I focused more on the weights.
Why I Love It:
Love seeing my body change and feeling my clothes get tighter and tighter.
How I Stay Motivated:
The progress. Seeing the changes in myself and in other people. Also seeing other people working hard. In my mind, there's always someone out there getting that one extra rep or throwing on that extra plate, and I have to step my game up to keep up.
BB Accomplishments:
Winning the overall at my first bodybuilding competition, but more so surviving peak week, because that's when the temptations really hit.
Yo this cat doesn't sugar coat anything. And he doesn't put up with bull**** excuses or lazy attitudes. But Sean's not all talk either; he puts it in at the gym consistently, and I've yet to hear him talk about how he didn't feel up to it one day or anything like that. Sean's got that continual focus and intense drive.
A lot of people chuckle when I give my signature catch-line "6-pack till I'm sixty" when they ask me how long I intend to continue lifting for. Tank is someone who seems to be living up to that phrase.
What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
Dexter Jackson. Size and shape.

Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
Most serious injury was an ankle sprain that had me out the gym for 2 months (and ironically, occurred outside the gym). I basically just took it slow on the recovery. nowadays I have small nagging pains more than injuries (tendonitis, back spasms, etc).Most serious injury was an ankle sprain that had me out the gym for 2 months (and ironically, occurred outside the gym).

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Going too heavy. It's ok to cheat a little, but too much is asking for trouble.
Some of you may know Dean Lewis, a friend of mine from NY. He's an up and coming (and coming fast) bodybuilder who's been a great help to me and my bodybuilding aspirations. Check him out at http://www.avadeanlewis.com. Not only is he a great and motivating person, but he is also a nice guy...
MONDAY:
Chest: Incline Barbell, Flat Barbell, Hammer Decline, Pec Dec. Three working sets each, 8 reps per set. Alternate Incline and Flat exercises every two weeks. On days when I start with Flat, decline hammer is replaced by seated hammer presses.
Tris: Lying DB french presses,...
hey wassup big dru! yeah man i'm finally starting to see overall thickness and the legs are coming along great thats always my favorite day...I'm getting ready to hit them now!
I usually do concentration isolated movements with dumbbells and preacher curls with a close cambered grip along with close grip bench presses and dumbbell kickbacks for tris.
yeah thats cool was just trying to see how you got your program uhmm I do twice a week 1 heavy then the next one a light day i used to do a 3 day but my legs were leaning out so i had dropped the 3rd day! and did you look into the wraps dawg they really help!
I've tried and failed many times. the closest I came to improving my conditioning was this past summer. But that was thanks to very intense training, not nutrition. I now know that my potential will best be realized through nutrition.
Bev Francis Atlantic States, 6/5/10. I've been spending this time focusing on my action plan for nutrition. I know that I'll have to carbo deplete for the 1st 6-8 weeks; I just need to be mentally prepared to do what needs to be don.
I'm just replying to your comment bro. Yeah, I'm powerlifting for the winter as sort of a way of controlling my bulking time, which is how i'm approaching the fall and winter. Come March, I'll be back to low carb nutrition, heavy cardio... the whole bodybuilding deal.
i kno how it feels to get stuck brah. prolly gotta change something up. i did the elite and i came in second. didnt even make it to finals. crazy. i was 174. i will see that dude again and there will b no question who won. i will have pics up sometime this week. gud luck with ur training
I know right. People come out of the woodwork for this show. Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina will probably have a good showing since its in the south.
