Background

When I Started: Sep 1999
HOW I STARTED:

When I was in Highschool, there was this one kid that everyone always talked about. To be a teenager, this guy had an amazing body. So when I decided to go to college, I thought to myself that I wanted to be that type of person, the type that people talk about.

WHY I LOVE IT:

I love the challenge of pushing myself beyond my limits in order to try to achieve something new, something better.

My Motivation Program

I've been having a hard time staying motivated. I work long hours and sometimes all I want to do is go home. As of late, my sister has been doing an amazing job of changing her body, that is my new motivation AND I surf to BodySpace during my lunch break to see some of the pics and remind myself that I can achieve that, too.

The Road to The 2010 ABA Natural Illinois Bodybuilding, Fitness, and Figure

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 8:12pm
I've been thinking about this show since April 26, 2009...one day after I competed i last years competition. I was so proud of myself that I actually competed, but in the end, it was a bit of a shock to place last (and not even get a medal...). The competitor who placed 5th in my class beat me by 1 point in each category which stung a little bit because he was kind of a jerk AND I wanted to at least come home with a medal. Instead of crying, I decided to join Team Scivation and start preparing for the show. I'm 3 weeks into my plan and for the first time I've eaten 90% of my meals and have act...

Training While Sick!

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 8:12pm
Hey hey, First I would like to say thank you to the two people who actually read my blog! And for the millions of other who are missing out, just know that Markito loves you, too. Second, I got really nervous this morning because I can feel the beginnings of a head cold coming on and I'm VERY uninterested in getting sick because the show is 5 weeks away and I have a lot of work to do in terms of cardio and dieting. I've read a lot of articles that say don't train while sick, but today in the mail I got the new M&F and they had an article about this same thing! So guess what!? The article s...
