I was blessed with bad genetics in the way of a slow metabolism so I started to work out and eat clean to try and turn it around.
Why I Love It:
It is a great stress reliever most of all. I also enjoy the social aspect of the gym. It's good to see and talk to people with similar goals and aspirations. When you miss a week here and there your buddies give you a hard time and create a conscience.
How I Stay Motivated:
The saying "You come into this world wrinkly and week and you leave wrinkly and week. The way you look and feel in between is up to you." I stay motivated by giving myself realistic goals and holding myself to them. I also create deadlines such as a vacation where I know it will be swimsuit weather.
BB Accomplishments:
In 2002 I decided to change my workout regimen and eating habbits. By doing so I went from 210 lbs. at 30% bodyfat to 180 lbs. at 10%. That was still a little thin in my eyes at 5'11" so I've been packing on muscle since. I currently weigh 200 - 210 with 8-12% bodyfat all year around.
This year friends talked me into entering the NGA Northwest Narurals Bodybuiding Competition here in Boise and I ended up getting 2nd place out of seven people in the Novice class.
I want to lead by example and look good while interviewing the athletes backstage at the Arnold Classic this year. I will be representing Bodybuilding.com in a way, along with many others, and I feel we should lead by example.
I have gone through my bulking phase and gained as much muscle...
Here is my current workout regimen for my cutting phase to get in shape for summer. I concentrate on higher repetitions and kick up the pace of my workout by minimizing rest in between sets and performing drop sets to keep my heart rate up and burn more calories.
What's up my man? Just trying to touch base with everyone on my friends list. Hope all is well in your world and you're having a great weekend. I'm making some big changes if ya get a chance stop by and check it out.
Hey Jim, Was wondering what you did to heal your tendon pain you had in your elbow? I have had mine for a month now, and it fluctuates with pain. I am going to get it checked out by a specialist tomorrow, but was wondering what you did to help with yours. Thanks!
