When I Started:
May, 2007
How I Started:
been lifting off and on for years, but i relocated for work, and decided to get serious.
Why I Love It:
Its al about what i can do, unlike team sports, this is me vs myself, its all about drive, determination, and self disipline!
How I Stay Motivated:
Mainly i look at the health problems in my family, mostly from being overweight, but i like watching training videos, and visiting this site.
BB Accomplishments:
Overcoming two collapsed disks in my back, i fell down some steps on winter, a Dr. told me i'd never squat deadlift, or even walk normal again. Guess what he was wrong, i squated 300lbs, and deadlifted 225lb off the floor. Shows what prayer and positive thinking can do for you! Theres a passage in the Bible that says i can do all things thru Christ Jesus, and I'm living proof of that!

Why wait till tomorrow if you can do it today!
