Background

When I Started: Nov 1998
HOW I STARTED:

I got tired of being picked on and getting no attention from girls, so I decided to do something about it.

WHY I LOVE IT:

Every workout I have the opportunity to beat what I've done before, I can break a record I've set for myself, I can ascend to a higher peak. Bodybuilding tests your mind, your will, your heart, and your body. If you are lacking in any area you will not have long term success.

Hello Everyone,

You will get to see my graduation from the University of Illinois with my PhD, our move to Tampa, FL, lots of training footage, tons of backstage footage from my shows, and much more. Overall this DVD has more than 3 hours of footage including bonus features! It also has an awesome soundtrack with my friends of Chimaira taking up the lead. It is different

Diuretics and cutting water? More reasons why YOU ARE NOT SMARTER THAN YOU

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 6:14pm
I hear people talk all the time about using a diuretic to lose subcutaneous water. Absolute bunk!!!!!! Water is held in a constant distribution between intracellular & extracellular space about a 70:30 ratio This is good. If you add a diruetic sure you lose some from the extracellular space, but like any chemical system you can't just push the pendulum one way and expect it not to swing back. It will also pull water from inside the cell in order to maintain the proper gradient. If you actually could change this gradient it would cause all kinds of hell. This concentration gradient is cruci...

Top 10 ways to spot a SCHMOE on bodyspace

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 6:14pm
1) Messages all the ladies in the top 6 constantly 2) Looks as if he couldn't find a weight room, much less lift anything in it 3) Constantly makes small talk with every women who will give him any attention 4) calls every girl "hon" or "babe" or "sweetie" or "insert stupid pet name here" 5) Constantly trying to get anyone in the top 6 on their 'program' 6) Constantly asked how a girls' workout went, even though it's quite obvious they have no idea what it means to workout 7) Anyone with a large amount of body hair who rubs oil on themselves and dons a G...

Please keep posting on scivation's site. May 16, 2012 10:41am

MrOJ
MrOJ Just read a bunch of your articles on becoming a natural pro and they have solidified in my mind that is exactly what I want to do to! I'm going to wait 1 and 1/2 to 2 and 1/2 years to compete because I want to build the mass I need to do this. I'm currently about 168lbs @ 5'9' at around 10% BF (Ineed to update my avi lol) so after this spring I'm going to go a slow perma bulk. Focusing on my weakpoints (hamstrings and chest) also well as gaining overall size.Thanks for the inspiration bro Mar 16, 2012 7:10pm
GymMagazine
GymMagazine Hi Layne We are an Irish fitness magazine due to be launched nationwide within the month. We were wondering if you would be interested in featuring in some way in our magazine? We see it as a great way to promote yourself in Ireland if thats something youd be interested in and we would love to work with you as a guest contributor. We hope you are interested and look forward to hearing from you. All the best, Edward Barrett Editor Gym Magazine Mar 13, 2012 5:41pm

Natekp84
Natekp84 know if they may be a waste of money or if there are some validity to their claims. I searched forums,got alot of mixed views on effectiveness, safety,etc. Figured I would ask your advice since you seem to be pretty damn knowledgeble on nutrition. Love all the articles and videos you do btw! Keep up the great work! Nathan Feb 11, 2012 8:39pm
Natekp84
Natekp84 Tried sending you a pm but says your box is full so thought I would try this. What are your thoughts/experience/knowledge with products like GH STAK by Muscle-Link, a supposed GH booster. Also natural test boosters. I may try USPLabs Pink Magic/Prime stack when I bulk up. I am almost 28 and don't Feb 11, 2012 8:39pm
