Welllll...to be honest I first lifted in college around 1987. But I always prioritized work over everything else in my life (dumb). So for 20 years I would get in the gym for a few months, then stay out for half a year or more. Over and over. In April 2006, just before I turned 41, I started back and stayed focused. I have been consistent about lifting, rest, and diet since then. And because I was *totally* out of shape at the time (about 290 lbs of flabby, no muscle self), I consider that my new starting point.
Why I Love It:
Lots of reasons! I like the sense of community among my gym buddies. The health benefits alone of fit versus obese are a great reward. They way I look is important (okay, I admit I can be vain).
How I Stay Motivated:
I have a network of gym buddies who take the sport seriously. I spend time on some boards--not a lot of time to spare. I read MD. I remember what being obese was like.

I was able to sleep more in the last week and that has helped a lot. By the end of last week I was so exhausted from 4-6 hours/night of sleep that I left work early on Friday, went home, and crashed. I slept for 3 hours, got up for dinner, then went to bed for the night. Must have been 10 or...
hey David, things are good here man. How's training? Alrite bro you've wanted a tan for some time now, so what's your next step? Are u bulking? cutting? maintaining? Exactly what have you been up to dude?! haha
Hi David. I'm good. How's the training going for you?
That's funny, I was checking out one of your forum posts last night about a certain gym. Not sure if I'm going to continue my membership for the downtown location after it expires. I really like the W Sea location. Locker room is much cleaner, has parking, and I like the layout better. I'll have to check out other options soon.
Very inspirational profile, man. Hope you're staying on-target. Even with the tank on, looking very impressive (the delts and arms do not lie). Keep up the good work and keep on hulkin'.
It's going... Trying to add weight - the good kind. I've had more time to train at the West AllStar gym during the day since I'm not working at the moment, so that helps.
This is a great site for tips and workout logs!
Holy moly David, you are a beast! Way to represent us over 40 Northwesterners and would be honored to have you as a friend! Nice work with no end in sight, right?:)
