Gym Location:
at home
When I Started:
Oct, 2005
How I Started:
I was the art/nerd/some sports kid back in a day. When i was 21 or so, i weighed myself and I was 230lbs!!!
all this time i was just sittin' in my ass doing my job. I am an artist and that was great but just sittin' there day after day painting and drawing and making models for diffrent companies. I just ate All kinds of foods out there!
everthing was in my sm frige next to my drafting/art table, i drank it and ate it! I realized that I created beautiful words of art and then the clients saw me, you can just see it in their eyes without saying a word, "Wow! That made this?" Yeah is was like a huge SLAP in the face to me to see that LOOK from them, they didn't say it out loud but some of you may understand how that feels. I really a passion for warfare and weapons from the dark ages and classical age so i learned how to make them. Then in the throughs of that time, I remembered a movie that changed my life and my outlook on it! That movie was CONAN THE BARBARIAN!!!
I was always into Conan before that havin' 2 brothers that collected the awesome comic books. I got into every issue and started my road down SAVAGE art! I looked at myself and saw this FAT sorry looking artist. The term "starving artist" did not apply to me at all!!
I started to lift quietly in the back so my brothers could not see me to make fun of me to no end. I started to find these issues of Muscle and Fitness at stores and read then at the store itself. I would not buy it because my family did not have much in money and i had nothing. But I got myself a little informed about the world of bodybuilding and then my own journey like Conan, down that path to better myself. more later....
Why I Love It:
i don't know but when I workotut, i get rid of all things in my head that bother me and i remember that I AM the temple for the Holy Spirit. and i want to build a HUGE one for Him, hence the name "MyTemple"
How I Stay Motivated:
seeing the pump in my body!!
freakin' sweet!!!
I stay motivated by knowin' that i am the only one of me on this earth and i'm going to make a difference in some one's life for the better.
My Saviour, Yeshua, did this in only 3 years and He changed the world.
