When I Started:
2008
How I Started:
I found out I had a problem with my lungs and because of it, I felt so weak. I had trouble walking, climbing steps, carrying grocery bags, etc. I decided I never want to be that guy again so I started working out.
Why I Love It:
It's a time to focus on what is important to me. It's like a high but without all the bad side effects!!
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking at videos and other guys photos. Seeing others improve helps motivate me. Seeing differences in my body gets me enthused....then I start planning how my training for tomorrow will go.
I want to do more squats. Since I have a breathing difficiency, squats really take a lot out of me. I run out of breath way before my legs are tired. It's so frustrating!! I have to find a way to overcome this. My goal is to be healthy, strong and vital, as I get older. I have two major obstacles....I starting lifting in my late thirties and my lung problems. I am going to do my best to overcome both. Not reaching my goals is NOT an option. This is my most important endeavor right now. I am at the beginning and I am looking forward to working hard to get the results I want though I wish I could breathe easier...It's the most frustrating obstcle that dictates how hard I can work, how long I can work and the amount of energy I can apply to my workouts. I will never be as large as I would like to be but it would be nice to be able to chill in Wildwood or Atlantic City without having some type of t-shirt on.
Gert is truly inspiring, his transformation inside and out is obvious in his photos and blogs. He has motivated me and helped guide me with his wisdom and I am better for it. I take from his example his strength to make necessary changes to his lifestyle when tested and his helpful attitude. I wish him a lot of luck in the future and moreover, good health.
I am close to Doylestown, oppsite of you.

Felt like i killld my right arm is a shoulder work out, mayb i should get on in my left arm to, then i dont have to worry bout trainin shoulders, lol.
Thats kew man! Even better bout trainin legs. Nonone wants to train them, i got a workout buddy in all the other muscle groups, but once i tell them its legs, they develope a cough all of a sudden, lol. So now i have to lie to them and tell them its a chest day and then when i get to the gym with them, i flip the script, lol. Good to hear that ur still going hard brotha! Propz brotha!
hey my brotha from anotha motha! how u been? man im up 8Lbs on that h-drol stack ive been tellin u bout! i just startd, im bout a week into it. hows life been treating u? still killin the weights 5x a week homie?

One thing about dieting. You really need to know how much and what your are eating. If it is really low carb, I recommend you boost the carbs every 6th day. M-F with low carb and Sat-Sun with higher carb.
I have a lot of respect for the character and determination it takes to overcome any physical challenge. Even better you want to boost your squats. Now that is what I am talking about. Having squatted for the last 2 decades I can unequivocally say that form trumps really heavy weight any day. Get your squat form right and make em deep. You will put on size no matter how heavy it is!
I know how that goes, man - nutrition is the one thing I could definitely use some improvement on. I'm sorta on a bulk at the moment, so I'm loading up on protein and carbs as much as I can without going overboard to keep energy levels up at the gym. Training's going well - was hit with some nasty illness this past week, but I got back into the gym today and tore up legs.
Hey Nick! You definitely have the RIGHT attitude. We should always do our best given any situation. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance with your training.
wasobi?? how is everything been going for u? man, sorry it took me a min to reply! MAN, ive been slackin BADDD BRAH! so trainin hasnt even been happenin at all. Peeps always wanting to go out, and then when u dont go, u get made phun! haterz makin me mad yo!
