When I Started:
Jan, 2007
How I Started:
Started out about 2 years ago at 192 lbs. Lost 40 lbs, dropping down to 150 lbs. Then decided to take up weight lifting to keep myself active. I've since put on about 22 lbs.
Why I Love It:
It's become "what I do in the evenings". I used to eat dinner, then sit and watch TV till bed time, now I work out. Quite often my wife will work out while I am, so we still get to spend our evenings together.
How I Stay Motivated:
By charting my progress, and seeing the physical gains I'm making. Also, my wife comments quite often on how much more muscular I am now, than what I used to be.
BB Accomplishments:
First of all, losing the 40 lbs. Most recently, quitting smoking after smoking for about 30 yrs.
I have my work out schedule set up in 4 week incriments. Basically, the routine itself remains the same, but for the first 4 weeks, I'll do a particular exercise for 3 sets/5-6 reps/max weight. For the next 4 weeks I'll do the same exercise for 3 sets/10-12 reps. On any given day, I'll mix...
I apologize if this is the 2nd time sending the same email. I clicked submit and it said error.
I work in the fitness field and need to kick things up a notch.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

Continuing my previous comment...
Yesterday at my doctor's place, I had a complete (whole body) bone and Fat scan, which gave me a 29.4 BMI number. I'll receive the bone scan info in a week or two. But, the BMI is most interesting. It shows each body part with a total mass for each and % of Fat. It's fascinating to learn that I have more fat on my right leg than my left, etc. I'm not sure what it all means but it's interesting....

I think you're right about writing the w/o information down myself. I can see that so far I'm trying different things and hopefully in good form.... Yes, I'd be very interested in reading your routine, if you can send it to my regular e-mail addy. bush_ben@hotmail.com.

Good Morning Mr. Bush! LOL
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope all will be GREAT for Thanksgiving!
Quick question: I cannot seem to find any print feature for the exercises routines. Currently, I'm using an old notebook as my log which seems to be working as long as I don't get it wet. LOL
Warm regards,
Ben
Hi Curt, Glad to hear all is going well for you. I am getting back into the gym gradually. Did legs last week and my back did not get sore but I did go very light with high reps. Went heavier with Upper Body. Not playing as much golf but when the weather is nice I am on the course. Have a great week. Rick
Hey, thanks for the good word, brother! I'm kind of in a holding pattern right now with the holidays about. I am just happy if I can maintain through them until I hit some new goals after the new year. Glad to hear you are back at it! Take care and have a great Thanksgiving!
