Background
When I Started: Aug 1995
HOW I STARTED:
I decided to take a strength training class my sophomore year of high school. I did this to help me gain strength back after a serious injury I suffered four months before, which cost me partial use of my left hand. I still had six to eight months of therapy left before all restrictions were to be lifted, but the strength coach stated that he was willing to develop a special routine for me to work around this.
WHY I LOVE IT:
I fell in love with it almost instantly because of the changes I was seeing in myself physically and mentally. I happened to be one of those chubby and nerdy kids who was bullied while growing up. Weightlifting changed this. By my junior year the physical changes were noticeable, as well as my increased confidence around others. Due to these changes, the bullying eventually stopped. I was also able to earn the respect of the "popular" classmates through my hard work in the weight room. I was never able to do sports due to my wrist injury my freshman year. Not only did the changes I mentioned keep me going, but the mood enhancing benefits of the exercise kept me going. I still love the euphoric feeling I get after a really good workout session.

My Motivation Program
All I have to do is look in the mirror. I have had a few injuries and surgeries along the way that have caused me to stop lifting for months at a time. I hated how weak I felt and looked when this happened. I am also not happy with my body fat percentage, as I still struggle with my weight. I have made some fat loss progress over the past few years, but I know I have quite a way to go yet.
I have recently started competing in powerlifting to help motivate me with my weight goals and to help push myself in the weight room.

Elusive is a good word, lol! So far my best is 380 in competition. I had a failed attempt at 390 in comp a few weeks ago but i was down to 190 bodyweight. I can do 405 at the gym with no pause and my spotter barely tapping it. Hopefully early next year like you. Whats your best so far in competition?

I usually start to warm up when the flight before me starts their 2nd attempts. I only do a few light to med weights for 2 to 3 reps. I might hit a high 4 board with about 80% of my opener then relax until its my turn on the platform.
