When I Started:
Jun, 2007
How I Started:
It was Years ago. I used to Work out non stop with my friends. But School came along, then the Girlfriend, and work. All of it went slowly by the wayside. Now it's the fact that I am a professional brewer. I don't know what you've heard, but beer has some calories to it. So now it's a quest to get back to, rather get the body I think I should have.
Why I Love It:
I like to know that I'm doing myself some good. I enjoy the changes, and while it may seem a little conceited I fell better about myself.
How I Stay Motivated:
lately, I hate the feeling of regret. Some time down the road, I don't want to regret those days when I could have worked out earlier in life. I don't want to regret not going to the beach because I wasn't comfortable with my self. Regret, one little word that can be such a cause of such disappointment later in life.
I also stay motivated because i know that if I want a hot wife someday, then I need to be just as hot myself. I know what you are thinking, "how shallow", yeah well the truth hurts. Superficiality rules today's standards and that is how I am going to have to set myself apart. My motivation comes from being passed over by women all the time and I don't want it to happen any more
I love this quote.
"As delicious as all the crappy foods can be, they don’t come close to being as fun as it is to walk around in a lean, hard, tight body and look good in any piece of clothing."
-C.T.
BB Accomplishments:
Snapping my bicep muscle off the bone...Man did that make me feel good.
Forum Signature:
I don't want to be "just about my looks" for my whole life, but I do want to look good for my whole life.

When necessity fuels your passion, it makes you "DO WORK!"
Goal (Long):
I want to change my self for the better. Inside and out. I have done a lot of things in my life that I hated myself for. But since I have learned to forgive myself for those things that I regret, I know that I can never forgive myself for doing them again. I can forgive myself for being fat, but I could never forgive myself if I don't try to change that.
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
I detached my right bicep muscle from the forearm bone while doing a preacher curl improperly. I was in a sling for a month and wasunable to lift for 6 months. I still haven't fully recovered from this injury. I cannot fully rotate my right wrist. I detached my right bicep muscle from the forearm bone while doing a preacher curl improperly.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Improper form. I do it all of the time.

What is the most dangerous weightlifting exercise? Why?
It's a toss up. Bench pressing and deadlifts. I've seen barbells fall on peoples faces knocking out teeth, and I have personally thrown out my back doing deadlifts.
Finally, the passion I felt before running 52.4 miles on several weekends is back in my body. That need to get to the gym every morning. The ability to tell myself that sleep will be there when I need it, but only after I work out. The drive to get where I want to be and not letting get in my...

Oh, also, aren't those stubborn areas maddening! I know you have been frustrated with your waistline..well mine is my thigh area! I just can't get them to look any more clean, I just keep losing fat in my upper body..hehe..I do see you HAVE made progress tho. Congrats. ~Missy
Hi Jay...SLEEP. You worked for it, two marathons in 3 weeks. WOW. It always takes me at least a month to recover from One. Don't be too hard on yourself, you will get to where you want to be soon enough..learn from my mistakes...and don't quit running for 3 years. Consistency is key! And your blog on Oct 23 had me cracking up BTW. Lolz ~Missy
