I was really skinny as a kid and an ugly duckling. My father bought me some of Joe Weider's weight gainer, remember this was back in 97', and I started taking it and lifting. Stopped for a long minute and got back into it in Japan when a good buddy of mine had me crying when we worked out! But it was worth it..since then I got hooked.
Why I Love It:
It is a stress release art and I love the way I feel after an accomplishment.
How I Stay Motivated:
Ronnie Coleman videos keep me motivated and he is a big inspiration to me when it comes to weightlifting. I also stay motivated by remembering that there is someone out there who is lifting to out-lift me so I have to keep my game face on.
BB Accomplishments:
Last year I took fourth place in a bench pressing competition out of fifteen people. I know it was not first but give me a break. Three days later I was doing skull crushers at 120 lbs. and my elbow popped out. Let it heal and now I am motivated than ever.

I WAS CONSCIOUS ABOUT MY SUPPLEMENTS AND NUTRITION BUT AT THE TIME I WAS ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING BIG, NOT BIG AND CUT. FINDING A BALANCE NEEDS TO BE PRIORITY!
OKAY, I KNOW I AM SMALLER THAN MOST OF THESE GUYS BUT KEEP IN MIND LAST YEAR I WAS 210 LBS.! 17 IN., BABY!
If competeing shines it's rays on me then so be it but for now I am serious about just lifting and keeping in shape. My twelve week program seems solid at the moment and my plans are to stay the heck away from all types of fast foods for the next twelve weeks and just eat more chicken, turkey, pastas, and of course more chicken. My last bench press in the competition i was in was only 310 lbs. I would like to bring that up as well and to develop the following body parts, quads, triceps, neck, and calvs.

I'm doing good just getting to the habit of eating clean so I can see those abs one day soon. Just been working out trying to increase my protein I thought I was a little too lean. How are you?
I'm deployed to Qatar but stationed in Hawaii. Will be returning to Hawaii sometime in Sept. I'm competeing in NY at the INBF MuscleTech show on Nov 8th. Only doing natural shows from now on! Come Support Me!
