Background
When I Started: Jan 2005
HOW I STARTED:
With family history like mine, I'm predisposed to becoming a fat mess, and I really like to eat....so I discovered that training lets me eat lots, keep my desk job and stay in decent shape.
WHY I LOVE IT:
Keeps me strong Post workout pumps

It's pretty easy for me to stay motivated, working in a gym. I used to just do this for myself, for the same vanity type reasons that so many others do (and don't try to tell me that's not why people do this....in my job I ask people everyday why they have the goals that they do and the number one response I get is "I want to look better". So, now I have that reason plus the fact that it supports my business. Two great reasons to lift in my books.

IDIOTS IN THE GYM
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 6:27pmI made a post about this in the "That Guy" thread the other day, but feel it warrants a blog post.... So, I was training at this Multi-purpose type facility the other day and like most gyms, it attracts quite a diverse range of users. Most of which, I have no problem with....whether they be young newbie kids, parents getting back in shape, senior citizens...whatever. There is this one guy however, that I just pissed me right off. He comes in with these 4 kids (14-18 yrs old). Now, I don't know if he was their coach, a dad of one of them, or maybe just some cre...
Go away shoulder pain!
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 6:27pmSo, this is my first morning after receiving some very helpful advice from a couple members regarding shoulder soreness that was directly related to how I was sleeping. I am happy to say that last night I slept with my arms below shoulder level all night and woke up with my shoulders feeling better than they have in weeks! Thanks to those who replied for your great advice. Hopefully they continue to get better!
Holy Sore Back Muscles!
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 6:27pmSo I trained back late Friday evening with the GF. Thought I was training as I usually do. Then woke up the the next morning with some crazy muscle soreness. Sunday was even worse! I mean, I'm not complaining. I do love that feeling, but couldn't help but wonder what I changed. Aside from not having done T-bar rows for a 2-3 weeks and going quite heavy on them at that (5plates x 12 reps 2nd last and then 15 reps on the last set with good fomr - bent right over). And I drank plenty of water....But now I think I have it figured. ...

That's an amazing amount of muscle that you're carrying ... and looking good doing it, too.

Hey bud, thanks for the comment. Those are 45's. I was standing slightly high on form and the last two reps were a little low on lift, but other wise, form was pretty much correct. I had two buddies of mine from the gym spotting and making sure that I had my form. I was pumped that night and ready to rip heads off. LOL Thanks again bud.
