I was having some physical problems that I had not experienced before, acid reflux, heart burn, blood preasure was pre-hypertension not to mention I was finding that all my clothes were getting to small and my wast was getting bigger. I decided to weight myself one morning and I thought I would pass out at 270lbs. With a 40 inch waste. I had never ever been that big. I got a check up and hit the gym within the next weeks.
But,have been in the gym most of my life due to high school and college football. I had my first set of weights at 12yrs old. I was first trained by a competive body builder in Jr. High. He was my first football coach.
Why I Love It:
I am now down to 245lbs. with very little heart burn reflux is almost non exsistant, and my blodd preasure is normal. I love watching my body change and it is great stress relief for me. I have always wanted a awesome body and I am determined to see them six pack ads. Not to mention I have made some great friends in the gym.
How I Stay Motivated:
Standing in the mirror and seeing my progress. I see people in the gym working their butts off and they seem to always look the same. I make sure that I look different. Not to mention when the clothes start to get smaller!!
BB Accomplishments:
lost 30lbs. in the last 6-8 months and put on about 10lbs muscle.

I want my waste down to a 31-33 and my body fat below 10% while continuing to add lean muscle.
Goal (Long):
I have always been in pretty good shape, but I have never seen that six pack or had them awesome looking arm. So, I am detemind and on track to get the V look with a waste line to die for not to mention arms and chest that make others heads turn. I know when I see it beacuse my head turns. I believe it I am at 200lbs and 10% body fat I just might be there. When I reach that goal I will reevaluate.
Well, things are going well stayin on track...and not letting anything stoppin me now...down about 10lbs ....kinda stuck right now but I think I have put on a little muscle..have a long way to go..but its not a sprint. I have been paying close attention to my diet to see where I might need...
Hey mate. Thanks for the add. It looks like you've made a good bit of progress yourself. Slow and steady is the way to go. Keep it up! Every day is one day closer to the goal.
Make plans to join us at the first annual Metroflex Strongman Classic on Saturday February 16 in Fort Worth. Go to www.metroflexgym.com for more information. Compete or just come watch. See you there.
Hey bro! Thanks for the words of wisdom. Yeah..I still watch it. Every week. It's always been a dream when I was a kid..Now its a Dream and a Goal. It's Life. -Joey
Hey, hows it coming along, arms r lookin pretty good! Keep it up! think abt that extra rep needed to body perfection, that usually helps me with those tough workouts, im like " ok, 1 more, no 2 more, ugh!" lol
Thanks Rodney! WOW! That's pretty cool to know about your training in the martial arts. I have been studying on and off and didn't get seriously involved until two years ago. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
