When I Started:
Jun, 1999
How I Started:
I started working out when I was a thin 5'11", 140lbs high school student. Creatine monohydrate had just hit the scene and it helped me put on 10lbs of water weight and get stomach cramps! That stuff sucked and we had to take 20g/day in the loading phase.
Why I Love It:
It forces me to challenge myself and see how far I can progress physically. It allows me to have control over a certain part of my life. Reduces stress. Makes my mind more focused.
How I Stay Motivated:
By knowing that when I keep my diet, rest, and workouts consistent and on track, I will achieve results.
BB Accomplishments:
Gained 40 lbs. of muscle in my first 5 years of training.

Goal (Long):
I graduated high school tall and rail thin, but damn, could I swing a golf club! I simply was not as strong as I wanted to be. For the past 8 years, I have consistently hammered out set after set on the way to sculpting a decent frame.

The Army was my thing. Loved it and still do. 5 years and one-million pushups later, I love making my clients do pushups. Became a personal trainer in 2005 (ACE and NASM certified) and LOVE it. My clients get pumped, lose fat, and become a completely new person.

Since I joined BodySpace over a year ago, I have gained some muscle, lost some fat, then lost overall size with the normal highs and lows that come with life. It's tough working so hard to gain muscle, and then have it drop off in the blink of an eye. Supplements and food are a must for me to gain muscle and strength. It is a full-time job and sometimes I get tired of trying to eat so much when I have no appetite!

Ba ck in April 2008, I hit a severe overtraining period. I took a couple months off. Still worked out, but maybe only 3 days per week instead of 6. Summers in AZ kill me. So, I lost even more size because the heat makes me not want to eat. I am finally at a point where I am re-motivated to get back what I have lost, yet build upon the quality physique and muscle maturity that comes with each passing dedicated year of training.
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 15 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
9%

This resembles the oldschool bodybuilders program. I believe it works for my ectomorphic body type, as long as I don't overdo it. Go about 80-90% of my 1RM, with strict form.
Hey Jay,
I typically do sets of 60, 90, 120, and 20. I gradually increase the weight and decrease the reps for calves. I position my toes inward, straight and outward throughout the sets. I usually rest about 30 to 45 seconds between sets. At the end I do static holds, where I hold the weight in the up position for 30 sec to minute then down for 30 seconds and repeat as many times as I can. I welcome any tips to make my calves grow, let me know what you usually do.
