When I Started:
Jan, 1997
How I Started:
I got started because I was told by a lot of peers and coaches that I have a lot of natural atheletic ability during my childhood. I began seriously working out hard in 1997 after I sustained a knee injury in football. During physical therapy rehab, my PT informed me with the many ways to improve my athletic abilities. I did as he suggested and I started to swell up. And I got hooked, it was like a drug, addiction if you will.
Why I Love It:
I am a graduate of an accredited college in Exercise Science, I am certified as a Personal Trainer through the NASM, called the CSCS (certified strength and conditioning specialist). I practice what I preech, and in my 12 years of lifting experience I am very confident in what I do in the gym on a daily basis. More importantly, I love working out because of self-competition!
How I Stay Motivated:
Journaling! A huge part of bodybuilding. I look back and see how I have progressed with my numbers and pictures. Also, the other 22 hours a day that I am out of the gym I am proud of my body and that along with some other intangible factors, increases my self esteem and confidence in my self.

yeah thats the plan so far. how about yourself? never mind i see thats what your plan too. what class are you competing in?
im only doing NPC shows as warm up for pro qualifiers from now on...so next year i will do the north star to get ready for the OBC show....ya im a big deal. Got sponsered a few weeks ago...west coast nutrition, sweet huh
Awesome! I will give you a call Friday night. I applied for a finance/accounting internship about 3 weeks ago. I need an internship to graduate and then it's off to the IRS
Yeah dude, I hear ya. The wellness center has so many New Year's Resolution people and Spring Break beach body types it makes me sick. I have found a new obsession outside of the gym, they call it Rockband. Anytime you want to hang out I'm just a call away. On an unrelated subject I applied at Pracs recently, you should tell the big wigs to hire me ;-)
I will for sure look for you. I don't have any plans to compete. Maybe some day down the road, I'm trying to slowly bulk up this winter and not put on to much fat. Kind of a New Years goal. Good luck getting ready for the comp. in March. Are there alot of guys from the sports center that compete?
shoot broham I went back to the Wellness center this fall...needed a change and people aren't very friendly at the Y (or so it seems). Congrats on the job dude that's good to hear. Kane and I were talking about how we all need to hang out sometime dude, it's been a long time! Are you free Friday's at all?
hey chris hows the training coming along? Haven't heard from you much this summer but i suppose we've both been busy, give me a call if you're in town friday
