I want to gain muscle and definition while stripping away fat.
Goal (Long):
I just simply want to be proud of my body! I don't want to be average!! My short term goal is to cut down and build as much as possible at the same time. Long term is the INCREDIBLE HULK!

Are you a parent?

How has bodybuilding and fitness helped you in your career?
It is good for me to look back at where I have been from time to time. It helps me to better plan my direction I need to go. I pride myself on being sure footed and making wise decisions. Most of the time anyway, I am still human.
Having said that, it kind of brings me to the meat and taters...
I work one body part per day for six days. I'm constantly tweeking the routines and getting them right. I have a VERY limited gym to work with, but I get it done. I'll get my program up to date soon and post it in a few days.
