I was 16 and was tired of not being the person I wanted to be.
Why I Love It:
The iron never lies to you, you can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you are a god or a bastard, the iron will always tell you the real deal, the iron is the greatest reference point, the all knowing perspective giver, always there like a beacon in the pitch black, i have found the iron to be my greatest friend, it never freaks out on me, never runs, friends may come and go but 200 pounds is always 200 pounds-Henry Rollins
How I Stay Motivated:
I still teach gymnastics and cheerleading at the age of 32. I want to make sure I can continue to do everything I could do 10 years ago.
BB Accomplishments:
Keeping my bodyweight at or above 220 while maintaining less than 10% bodyfat for about a year. I stay between 12-15%.
My new long term goal would be to be able to bench press anything over 400 lbs once. But, I don't want to train like a powerlifter so there is the rub. I'll get there by 40.
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 5 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
10%

What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
Combined injury from lifting and teaching gymnastics for years. I get back spasms so I can't do squats or deadlifts anymore. It's still there if I'm not careful.

Finally I am getting back to feeling like a human again. The last few months have really sucked going through a split and a divorce. Thankfully I have some good friends and a great family. I have moved to Atlanta and I am going to get back into some good shape. Hopefully I can post...
Well whatever you're doing keep it going. Would really like to hit the Arnold, however work schedule is unpredictable. Haven't had a day off in 9 weeks and counting, so I know what you mean by working too much. If I ever get an overnight down in Atalanta, I'll drop you an e-mail, and see what you're up to.
Hey Steve,
It's Josh. Just wanted to say hi. Pics are pretty sweet! Me and Brad are looking forward to show season again come spring time. Hope you are doing well. If you're back BKW way make sure to stop by for a guest appearance.
It's going pretty well, you are right it is finals week - lots of exams and studying. No big plans for the summer - haven't finalized anything yet - how are you doing?
Glad things are going well. Good luck with the new business. Gotta love those 12 hour days! I am going to try to post some of Brad's pictures after his competition next week. He is the one living in the gym!!
That was one of the sweetest comments I have ever received. Thank you so much for making my day! To answer your question, no, they don't have any clue, lol!
cool.. I like getting their early too.. you can get in and out a lot faster! I like getting in 2 a days on the weekends to change things up as well. Keeps your body guessing.. Let me know how it goes!!
wow.. really!!! That is really great that he has already lost 20 pounds. Tomorrow is my Leg/Shoulder day... YEAH.. It is a love/hate relationship. I am going to be trying my NO Zero Cellucor pre-work supp tomorrow before going so hopefully I will be all fired up when I get their!!
