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.
The honest to God truth is that if I had the focus and dedication that Lee has now when I was his age, I would be a pro, or at least a national level competitor, right now. The dedication to his craft and his constant desire to become more knowledgeable and to improve, especially at his age, makes him unique. Lee keeps me on my A-game, and the knowledge he provides, especially on nutrition, is ridiculous. Watch out; Lee's definitely gonna be a problem for a lot of bbs in the very near future.
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,...
I hurt my back last week. I was squatting at max and screwed my lower back. The next day, I couldn't even get out of bed. It's better now. No pain...just still a little stiff. The lower back is nothing to mess around with.
Knee wraps big dawg! what works for me is sqauting then leg press but if I decide to punish my legs on the squats then its not a heavy day on the squats that works out good for me
