When I Started:
Oct, 1995
How I Started:
I was a skinny kid that didn't want to be skinny anymore. One of my dad's buddies from work was selling a weight bench with some old sand weight and I bought it for $50.
Why I Love It:
Fear of being Fat!
Fear of being Skinny!
How I Stay Motivated:
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
-Invictus
By British poet William Ernest Henley

Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
2 Strained Supraspinatus (SP?). I just had to take time off and then train around them. They still get inflamed but I know to back off and give them time.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Overtraining, Poor form, lack of concentration, too much weight.
I hear that! And.. it's almost time to get even busier! I'm back in the gym consistently again (tweaked my knee on squats about 2 months ago). My goal for now: cycle through your intense workouts again and live lol. Otherwise I'm good, but I miss your words of encouragement! How's the shoulder?
In my building, the stairwells, our studio, the front room, the roof garden (if not to nippy..lol!) Why go to the photographer if you can make him come to you!!! x
Yes, mine, too! Why is that? Sometimes it flares up when I'm doing NOTHING! Like in the shower washing my hair! Even cortizone shots and physical therapy haven't helped :( Stupid shoulder! lol
Hellooooo D!!! Wow, it's been forever! Those darling little boys in your avi must be teenagers by now! ;) lol...j/k. So you hurt your shoulder doing curls? I hurt mine 2 YEARS ago benching and it STILL bothers me! How are you doing and how is training? Is your shoulder doing better?
Time and speed. I do a 2 minute sprint and then a weight exercise, alternating throughout the routine. The sprints go up in speed each time and supposedly the ramp angle, but I need to build up to that. The running itself is hard right now.
