I took a weights and conditioning PE class my senior year of high school and fell in love with weight lifting. Ever since then, its my hobby and passion.
Why I Love It:
I love seeing what I can do and what my body can become. When I started I weighed 135 lbs. I got up to 210 with about 15-17% BF. I dieted down to 190 with about 8% BF. Now I want to get back to 210-215, but I'm going to try and keep myself to 10% BF.
How I Stay Motivated:
I read a lot of magazines and sports science articles. As a bodybuilder and a scientist I try to find the best ways to get results.
BB Accomplishments:
Packing on 60lbs of quality muscle.

Which pro bodybuilder/fitness/figure competitor has the ideal physique? Why?
My three favorite physiques are Mark Dugdale, David Henry, and Phil Heath. The first two because they are shorter guys with amazing physiques that I would consider to be attainable. I mention Phil because he has amazing physiques that went through a fantastic transformation while still retaining his symmetry and balance.My three favorite physiques are Mark Dugdale, David Henry, and Phil Heath.

Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
When I first started lifting, I had my bench press grip to wide. This put too much stress on my shoulder joint and I developed some tendonitis. I had to take about three weeks off. During this time I researched proper bench pressing technique and since then I have not had any problems.When I first started lifting, I had my bench press grip to wide.

I train using FST-7. Right now I'm working on adding some quality mass and increase my strength. Therefore, I'm doing a bit of a hybrid program centered around four major lifts: Bench Press, Squats, Deadlifts, and Clean and Jerk. So here's a general outline of my current training...
Thanks for the answer. So, what is your method for progression? I.E. some people force themselves to put an extra 5 lbs on the bar every workout. Legs are the hardest thing for me to get to grow.
Life is good. My family is health and getting ready to go back to school. I maybe getting back to work soon too. It looks like the economy is starting to improve even here in MI. BTW, kick a$$ with the Air Force! -Jeff
Great to hear from you and wow you have put on some excellent size since March! I'm working on adding lean muscle until January so that I can compete next season as a top middleweight. Do you have plans to compete? You should! -Jeff
yeah I know what you mean I think I have always been strong because by my freshman year in high school I was benching 305, squatting 455, and dead lifting.
