Background
When I Started: Sep 2007
HOW I STARTED:
I didn't want to be the fat dad in the stands watching his kids. I wanted to be the fit dad that was coaching. When I was a child I was the fat kid. I felt comfort in wearing bulky clothes. I live in the South where its 90 degrees at night. I would wear a jacket almost year around. I didn't realize how miserable I was until I reflected on it at a later age.
WHY I LOVE IT:
How I feel when I'm done. Reaching personal goals of lifting and running. Challenging myself daily. Euphoria almost.

Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 10:01pmWas I really that out of shape, and just physically disgusting to look at? I spent some quality time with my mom this past week. It was my 34th birthday on the 2nd and she came over on two seperate occasions. One to take me shopping for some new clothes and the other to take me to dinner. I had practically no clothes left. Nothing fit. At all. Even my socks felt baggy. Anyway, we found some nice shirts and pants and I was a happy camper. Clothes that actually fit! I was excited...until she showed my something she found. In digging through old boxes, she found a picture of me when my son was ma...
Happy Birthday to...ME!
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 10:01pmI'm 34 years young today! I am in the best shape of my life. I was a 3 sport athlete in high school and was overweight and out of shape. If I'd had the kind of dedication and drive I have now, back then, I could've been a pro athlete I believe. Actually got a couple partial scholarship offers for baseball. But that was then, and this is now. You can't change your past so don't dwell on it. The only thing that I can shape is my future, and it looks damn bright! Have a great day everyone. Thanks to everyone who has offered and given their advice, tips and tricks. Thanks to all the pros who...
Shock Week, Session 1. Done.
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 10:01pmOH. MY. GOD. One of the most unbelieveable workouts I've ever done. I was absolutely exhausted and spent. I did chest and tri's. Sore as hell today. It goes as follows. DB Bench Press- 50's for 12, 80's for 6, 60's for 10(negatives) superset with cable crossovers at 60 for 10 and a final set of 50's for 12. Incline Bench Press- 90 for 12, 170 for 6, 115 for 10(negatives) superset with crossovers at 60 for 10 and a final set of 90 for 12. (These are done back to back with about 60 seconds between each set.) Skullcrushers- 55 for 12, 85 for 6, 65 for 10(negatives) superset with bench d...

I noticed that you've added ZMA and that your strength seems to have increased. Did you make any other changes in your life?

Good for you! That's what I would do. Midterms are done, and they went well, and I couldn't be happier after all that! I had a good workout today - first one since being so sick - I did legs, it felt great to hurt like that, lol, you know what I mean :) Please have a good week

My pleasure Mick, although I am sorry to hear you are under the weather. You aren't the only one, there is a lot of stuff going around. I've been sick for two weeks - on the tail end of my antibiotics - the timing couldn't be worse right during midterms - but I got thru it. I hope you feel better soon :)

Thanks. That avi was 40lbs ago. I'll be spending the next 4-6 months cutting back to see what I've been able to add as far as mass.
