High School:
When I Started:
Jan, 1990
How I Started:
While attending univeristy many years ago, one of my core requirements was to to take a physical education class. On the first day of class, I found out that I was the only science geek in the class which was made up mostly of the Marshall University football team. I had never lifted a weight in my life. I was intimidated, scared and expected to be made fun of and treated badly. I couldn't have been MORE WRONG. They took me under their wing, motivated me to do well in the class and inspired me to never give up and to never quit!. It was a life changing experience. After the class was over, I continued lifting and had an awesome workout buddy. He was a preacher, bodybuilder great friend and mentor. I will always be grateful to all of them and am forever a Marshall University Thundering Herd Fan. How lucky I was!!. From that point on, I made training a part of my life.
Why I Love It:
Love to keep in shape. Like seeing the results. Great stress reliever. Mind, body and spiritual balance.
How I Stay Motivated:
After a long recovery from a broken vertebrae and a ruptured disk, I Changed my attitude from "WHY ME?" into "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ABOUT IT". Once I put my mind to something I stick with it. Ask anyone who knows me. All the great people here who are guiding me along the way. A big thanks! My Life credos that I follow: "Pray, hope and don't worry" "Put out the good and it will return to you tenfold" "Nothing good or bad Lasts forever" "Nothing is impossible"

Me at 270 pounds
This is me at my worst at 270 pounds wearing a 2XL sweater that is too small with 44 relaxed fit jeans that are too small also. This was my turning point to lose weight and to get back into shape again.

dpaul4553 [ BodySpace ]
Dave inspires me because he remained extremely persistent in his goal of obtaining 17-inch guns! Now he has taken it to the next level and is well on the way to obtaining 18 inch guns! His blogs are honest, humorous and thought provoking. In addition, he has given me a lot of motivation, good advice and support from day one when I started out here at 270 pounds. Thanks Dave!
Captain Ahab [ BodySpace ]
The Captain was one of the very first people to welcome me here to bb.com. When i first joined bb.com, I didnt think that anyone would care about a 270 pound fat guy like me. I was wrong! The Captain's transformation was instrumental in motivating me to go for my goals. The captain is a true example that anything is possible and nothing is impossible.

You've got plenty to brag about. Keep it up. I got scared of doing bench press alone, so I bought a PowerTec Machine. It's going to be fine, but I swapped my old plates for new Oly plates. The plates are in backorder and so is my workout. Soon as I get my stuff, watch out. :-)
