When I Started:
Dec, 2005
How I Started:
Started going to gym as I wanted a challenge outside of work and always liked the bodubuilder look so started weight lifting and was bitten by the rion bug
Why I Love It:
Bodybuildign to me is a very personal thing were I am not dependent on anyone and the aim is to surpass only yourself - I really enjoy the discipline of it and the structure it brings to your lifestyle.
How I Stay Motivated:
I like getting stronger and more muscular - Every time i lift a little heavier I find extra zeal to go to the next level
I also always liked the muscular look and like the results I see.
BB Accomplishments:
Currently i bodybuild more for myself more then anything - hence for me lifting that bit more heaver or getting that extra rep is alwasy a tiny milestone accomplishment for me

Gettign the right balance between all three I think is quite hard but this is my ultimate goal

What forearm workout has worked best for you?
Don't work out the forearms seperately - find they get hit when i do other exercises; especially deadlifts or hammer curls etc
