Overall Goal: To be in the best shape of my life, and use the new motivation to surpass whatever gets in my way..

When I Started:
Dec, 1999
How I Started:
Football in 8th grade, once I started I couldn't stop..
Why I Love It:
Whats not to love? For me its about trying to improve myself not only physically but mentally. I believe that there is always room for improvement and that with exercise an open mind is key because there is always something to learn. Above all I would have to say just watching the changes that my body has made before injury and then the couple years of recovery, and the people that I talk to that are either scared or embarrassed to enter the gym because they can't lift much weight and making them realize its not about the weight, its about taking a step toward being healthier, more confident and happier.
How I Stay Motivated:
I see the guys that struggle to just gain a solid pound, realize I was gifted to have genetics.Look in the mirror and think of what I can achieve with dedication. Look at my pics from when I just got back in the gym, They were pathetic.
BB Accomplishments:
When I was 18 my senior year before the injury I weighed in at 228 and Benched my person record 245x14 (felt like warm up), 275x14, 315x 18

To be in the best shape of my life, and use the new motivation to surpass whatever gets in my way..
Goal (Long):
Live alot healthier lifestyle, Hopefully get down to 8% bodyfat. Also get my cardiovascular health in alot better shape. Would like to have a 6 pack and lose the love handles.. Hopefully inspire some and maybe even meet some friends along the way.
Congratulations on the graduation! So envious! What is your major in? I took 2 years off from school and till this day I regret it, would have been done 2 years ago! Yet the 2 years working for a financial firm was a great experience...so mixed feelings! Now not going to get done till next year!
Whats up man? Just got around to answering people. Training is going good. I started a fat loss competition at my gym so I have been busy with that. We got the pot up to around 900 right now. it oughta be fun. When are yall coming to clear springs? I heard it will wear your ass out.
meadville has some of the best trails I heard. they were shut down the last time I checked because of a storm. We have an awesome trail here in bhaven if you like jumps, bridges and obstacles. i love riding it but I suck bad it. I did a face plant as my seat went flying through the woods the last time I went
