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.
Cut to single digit bodyfat % and maintain all year. My ideal look is (Mens Health) not (Muscle and Fitness).
Goal (Long):
I have never been a fan of cardio, yet I know it's importance. I have recently bought the Nike+ ipod computer chip for running. I feel that this will help me with goal setting and follow through.
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
8%

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.
How's training going bud? Looking good, keep up the good work!! you see an more shows in your future?
