got started lifting with a set of DP water/sand weight set and a bench one summer as i prepared for the upcoming football season.
I have never lifted continuously until more recently since Jan 2007. I have now lost 32# since this time last year and dropped almost 8% in bodyfat. If i see the same types of gains this year, i will have met my goal.
Why I Love It:
I love the sense of strength i feel and the confidence when I get to the office after working out a few weeks. I am a much better performer at work and more outgoing when i am feeling fit.
How I Stay Motivated:
This is difficult. I need to have a goal in order to stay motivated, although it has come easier with age. I am hoping this site give the right amount of motivation to keep moving. I finally started keeping a journal this year and it is great to look at the gains. My log has been my laptop that i carry to the basement and track what i do.
BB Accomplishments:
none really, but i would love to participate in a contest as my ultimate goal.

Still going. next goal is to get ripped abs. need to step up my cardio though to do that. we'll see
I want to be a rock solid 195 by working off the fat and maintaining my strength. It's been about 6 years since I really took my physique seriously and weighed under 200 lbs and i have never gotten the full "cut" look. It will take a combination of lifting and really reshaping my diet/cardio.
Met the first goal and now want a six-pack to complete the transformation.
What is the most dangerous weightlifting exercise? Why?
I would have to say the lying tricep extensions if you don't have a spotter. I actually don't do them anymore since i know i have to lift heavier weight and am scared that if i push too hard i will drop.I would have to say the lying tricep extensions if you don't have a spotter.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Improper form from cheating to lift that extra weight.
Sick all week, so couldn't lift as heavy as i wanted to. I was supposed to go heavy this week. Had the flu monday and didn't recover until Friday. At least just in time for my birthday party on Saturday. Made it hard to lift, but i did get it in this weekend. Couldn't do cardio...
Damn bro your doing good! How did you get rid of those love handles? I have some left that i need to be gone. I wish thay made love handle be gone or something like that. Keep up the good work.
