I wasn't strong enough for a good physical fitness score in the Marine Corps, and all the other Marines were noticeably stronger than I. With the knowledge my mother passed on to me about bodybuilding and an enduring perseverance I made a New Years resolution in January 2006, just look how far I have come.
Why I Love It:
It's changed my life for the better. Girls love it, guys envy it, and people respect it. The implications of bodybuilding are endless; focus, physique, and happiness are just the beginning.
How I Stay Motivated:
New gyms, new equipment, new ideas, and new gym buddies. The other personal trainers
BB Accomplishments:
Achieving a physique that is envious.
Forum Signature:
No amount of forum reading, internet searching, and magazine scouring will come close to the amount of information you learn about your body in 3-4 months of contest prep.

17 Days out from contest, 4% bodyfat right now, hoping to maintain size.
I don't have the best genetics, but I work with what I was given. If I could improve upon my weak areas, chest and quads, I could create a real solid physique. I have always been thin and narrow so gaining mass is tough without a perfect attack plan. Since lifting (Jan 2006), I have put on 40 Lbs of quality muscle, however if I spend a few days without a strong calorie intake and high protein consumption, I shrink considerably. Maintenance and improvement in the weight game is all that now matters.
Same to you:) It seemed like every time we got to talk I would get diverted away....sorry. I came into that last show too fat and am currently dieting hard for the Emerald.... it may be too much to lose in that short of a time, but experience never hurt anyone:) Good luck and I am sure we will run into eachother again soon, both bigger and better!
How is your peak week going? You will do great at the show as you've already done all of the hard work to get there. All you have to do now is relax and enjoy the experience! Good luck:)
