When I Started:
Jul, 2000
How I Started:
My weight had skyrocketed to 240lbs. I was fat, had no energy and was feeling really bad about my physical condition.
Why I Love It:
I love how I look and feel afer working out. I still have a ways to go to reach my goal weight of 185, but I am really enjoying the journey.
How I Stay Motivated:
The compliments I get from people when they see how much weight I've lost or the comments I get about how solid my chest/ arms are. It gives me such an ego boost!! LOL
BB Accomplishments:
Losing over 30lbs of fat and gaining 10lbs of muscle. I added 1 1/2 inches to my arms and my traps have really started popping out - who knew they were even there!!

This was taken after my first 5K post surgery. I had lost 20 of the 40 pounds I wanted to lose (I started training again in Dec). My only goal in this race was to run the whole time. I ended up beating my record time by two minutes!!
I want to lose 20 pounds of fat so I can take my shirt off this summer.
Goal (Long):
By my 41st birthday on July 11th my goal is to lose the last 20 pounds of fat and fit into size 34 jeans. I was making such great headway until a back injury and surgery took me out of the game for over a year. The last four months have been great and I have lost 20 pounds of the fat I gained last year. The next 20 will be a breeze!!
Hey guys - My name is Jon and I live in Tampa, FL. I am 38 years old and in need of some guidance. I am currently looking for a new workout partner. I have recently hit a plateau and have even started skipping workouts. I feel having a work out partner would give me more accountability...

Focusing on the BASICS; bench presses & dips..the trick lies in cycling the # of sets, reps, amount of rest between sets & of course the load/weight used. Futheremore - MUST keep FEEDING the muscles & RESTING!!! will b :-) 2 assist with more info'/details, just let me know, bro!!! GROW ;-)
