My coaches in High School made the comment, "Dang Mike.... Roundin' up a bit!" And it got to me. Not to mention my 47yr old Dad was in better shape then I was. I had to get serious. And I've stayed with it ever since. I love it!
Why I Love It:
I love it becaue of how it makes me feel. When I was a kid I was very skinny, I never visulaized myself as being a muscular guy that you see around, while I still have a ways to go, what I didn't believe possible is slowly but surely becoming a reality! It's amazing and I wouldn't give it up for anything in the world!
How I Stay Motivated:
Being a personal trainer and working at a gym helps, but I stay motivated because it has become a way of life. Living without fitness and health would be a nightmare for me now.
BB Accomplishments:
I Gained 50 pounds in 7 months, 37Lbs being solid muscle! Oh yeah, and I did this 100% Naturally!

Hey bro, hope all is well and you are still kicking ass! How is the bulk coming along? Best of luck reaching your goals and happy new year! Keep me posted and post some progress pictures!
4% Bodyfat. That is...incredible. you looked real good. getting up to 210 is a great goal. I'll be checking in. I'm on a return quest to get "channels" in my abs. have been working out and healthy, but not committed to a specific goal like i would want.
Mike, its been a really long time man! I'm getting back into committing myself to lifting now (& although i didn't stop working out, you put me to damn, dirty shame man) Really impressive. u looked great in your competition! what were your stats coming out of it?
