When I Started:
Sep, 1986
How I Started:
I was a short, weak, and skinny kid, and I decided I didn't want to be that way any more.
Why I Love It:
It's a part of my life that I would not want to give up.
How I Stay Motivated:
I tell myself that it's a personal decision and a personal responsibility to stay fit and to eat right. If I want to take it to an extreme, well that's my choice. I'm not one of those 20 minutes three times a week people.
How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
No more than 30 to 60 seconds. I like to rotate between exercises to keep the rest time as short as possible.

How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?

Tuesday: Arms, Abs, Cardio same as Monday
Wednesday: Shoulders and Legs, Abs, Cardio same as Monday
Thursday: Off
Friday: Repeat Monday

Excellent lean muscular physique. Also I have read your blog about answering someone's question about genetics being a factor for being a bodybuilder or not. You nailed that topic down perfectly. Genetics is no excuse for anyone not to take bodybuilding, exercise, and nutrition seriously.
Thanks.
