When I Started: 2002
How I Started: At 48 I wanted to get in better shape and develop some healthy habits. I have worked out before at various points in my life but never stuck with it. This time ended up differently. I think the challenge of body building after 40 began to motivate me and as I began to see progress I started working harder at it. I just kept going and today I am still working hard to achieve the best body possible.
Why I Love It: As I reach my short term goals I continue to set more goals. I have this thirst to be a better person and working out gives me that.
How I Stay Motivated: My motivation is my desire to see what I can accomplish. Body building is a goal orientated sport. I continue to set goals for myself and I have a strong desire to reach them.

All the support and comments on this site is also an important part of my motivation. Just knowing that there are other people my age making great body building accomplishments drives me to seek the same.

For about the last eight weeks I have been working to improve my body symmetry.  Initially the problem was I had a noticeable difference in strength and visual development between the left and right sides of my upper body.  It seemed that my left side was lagging my right side.  So my goal...

Hello, Jeff! I'm doing good. I'm taking a break from Karate and am doing other stuff. I need to get my act together because I've been in the dumps about working out lately as it's just a phase that will pass. How are you doing? You look great!

Hi. Thanks for your comment. I didn't work out much over our long winter. However, I am reorganizing my living room and do intend to resume working out. God bless.

Hey Jeff, thank you for your welcome!! I appreciate your words of motivation!! I have come to realize that this site has an "accountability factor" which helps you to become more competitive with yourself. It helps you to keep striving to improve. All the best to you and your goals..looking good my friend....Joe

Progress is finally happening (albeit slowly) due to learning how to train for my body type. You are really making some great gains yourself! Are you getting ready to step back on stage again? Good luck!
