Overall Goal:  Hit 220 solid lbs by the end of 2009. Looking for a sponsor as I make this transformation and compete next year.

When I Started:
Jan, 1999
How I Started:
Started lifting in college by enrolling in Weightlifting 101. Got tired of being tall and painfully thin. Didn't get serious about it as a lifestyle until I moved to Connecticut
Why I Love It:
It's very fulfilling to challenge myself to improve and change how I look. On a fundamental level, the discipline extends to other aspects of my life. I like being about to feel resistance from weights and have my body overcome its limitations.
How I Stay Motivated:
That's been and continues to be a struggle to remain motivated. Attending competitions and talking with the competitors has really bolstered my enthusiasm.
BB Accomplishments:
Transforming my body from a 6'3-1/2" tall, 138 lbs person into a more muscular 200 lbs. I am currently the heaviest I've ever been. 220 lbs HERE I COME!

Where do you mainly workout?
Home
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
The only con I've run into is the lack of a regular partner or group of people to train with.
- Updated Jul 6, 2009 12:01pm

What should look for in a gym? What should you avoid?
Definitely look for like-minded people you can interact and work-in with. A clean gym with knowledgeable and willing staff members, not just people who look like models and scan cards at the front des...more

Do you track your workouts (exercises, weight, reps, etc.)?
Yes
If so, how do you do it? Workout log, software program, etc.? Why do you do it this way?
I created a workout log on my computer that adjusts the weight for my future workouts based the reps and sets I complete each workout. I use Microsoft Excel to compute everything.

Happy New Year! (belated) With all the traveling done over the holidays, I didn't have a chance to update everyone on my goals and how I finished out 2008. The good news is that I achieved my goal of being 200 lbs by the end of 2008!!! That is phenomenal for me as I have never been this...

Hey thanks i appreciate it. I don't plan on competing atleast until the spring so i can bring up some weak body parts as well as everything else. You look like you have a lot of potential, you'll do well when you step on stage.
