I started weight training during my junior year of high school after watching my friend bench 135lbs for reps. I also wanted to look like the football players n wrestlers from my school so i started hitting the gym at my school and from then on i was hooked. I started to really get in to bodybuilding and transforming my body 3 years ago when i ballooned up from a skinny 125 to a fat 230lbs @ 20%bf. I started split training, hitting different kinds of intensity w/my cardio and even got in to writing down my progress and diet plan.
Why I Love It:
I love bodybuilding and the training because it puts me in this state of relaxation where i dont have to stress and worry about things in life.
How I Stay Motivated:
i stay motivated by just reading about new workouts n trainings, reading about transformations and other people's training program and also to people keep proving the people who never thought i can achieve my goals WRONG!
BB Accomplishments:
I say from becoming 125lbs - 230lbs in 2 years and to finally reach 8% bf @ 175lbs. Also finally able to bench 135lbs for reps lMAO. and maxing out at 345lbs!

mikeray83changed Weight from 185 lbs. to 187 lbs., a 2 lb. gain in 13 days
Yeha my strength goes down a bit the closer I get to competition im about 7 weeks out so im only doing like 315 for 5 or 6 right now and the last month probably no more that 225 just for safety reasons
Mostly just specificity, all pressing movements. No flies, no cables just basic flat, incline, and decline in various order each workout. Also before i got ready for a competition I would do three sets of heavy flat bench every other workout no matter what I was working that day.I never really got into negatives or chains but they might work also
