Background
When I Started: no information entered
HOW I STARTED:
I was an athlete all my life. I started in Highschool. I played hoops in college and really enjoyed being strong and athletic. The weight room eventually became more of a focus than the ball. I love listening to my music and just getting away from everything else in life and pushing the weight. I don't think in there i just go. 'losers make excuses, winners make it happen." "no one ever drowned in sweat, WORK FOR WHAT YOU WANT." "pain is weakness leaving the body."
WHY I LOVE IT:
Its my sweet release. I push and push. I love seeing the change the body makes. "I'M ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN. INSIDE YOUR UGLY, UGLY LIKE ME, I CAN SEE THRU YOU. SEE YOUR TRUE COLORS." But by God's grace I am what I am, and his grace shown to me was not wasted. Instead, I worked harder than all the others-not I, of course, but God's grace that was with me. Corinthians 15:10 I will NEVER GIVE UP

Well my routine changes almost every wrkt. I am currently in a bulking phase and am emphasizing my compound moves as much as I can, these inlude; bench press, standing military press, dead lifts, squats..
I have a 4 day split, I go 2 days on one day off.
Chest & Bi's and Forearms
Legs (hams, quads) & calves
Shoulders, Tri's Forearms
Back & Traps
I throw abs in twice a week usually but feel that my coumpund moves hit the abdomen pretty well.
*I do steady state cardio for about 15-20 mins. I do eliptical, incline walk on treadmill.
I have been gaining some nice size and a lot of strength. It is going well, I am taking things day by day and trying to set realistic weight room goals. I try to increase my weights each wrkt. Improvements mean strength gain in my book. An extra reo is just as good as a 2 1/2 plate
P.U.S.H.
PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS.....

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~Erma Bombeck
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great mean, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.
Charles De Gaulle
I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SAY U CAN BE BETTER
My eyes are never satisfied with my body, I demand a lot of myself and strive to be better each day. I hold the bar high cuz I know that I can achieve greatness.
I HAVE NEVER WANTED ANYTHING MORE IN MY LIFE...
I want to be heathy and happy.
BABY, I SHINE EVEN WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OUT... ;)
Focus your energies not on what you want to Change..but rather what you want to Create
�Concentration and mental toughness are the margins of victory.�
I promise myself to be strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet. To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet. To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds. To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, as long as I am true to the best that is in me.

RISE & RISE AGAIN, UNTIL LAMBS BECOME LIONS
Posted in Other : Mar 05, 2011 2:38pmSo I am officially 8 weeks out from my World Model Tour 2011 fitness comp. I have been working very hard and have fully dedicated myself to accomplishing my goal of getting on the cover of a fitness magazine. I am currently working with nutrition guru, Shelby Starnes, and have been working with him for over 9 weeks now on this comp. Shelby came highly recommended to me by a great friend. Shelby helped me get solid results for past photo shoots and it was with his help that I got a 4 page spread in a magazine already.
Currently I am carb cycling btwn Med day
...8 Weeks out from World Model Tour Fitness New England Comp
Posted in Training : Mar 01, 2011 5:05pmI am going to start a blog about my last 8 weeks of contest prep for the World Model Tour Fitness New England comp (CT). I have been working with, in my opinion, the best nutritionist in the biz (Shelby Starnes) for the last 9 weeks leading up to this.
This is the beginning and I will get into more detail this weekend. Hope you get something out of it.

Great quotes and verses man -- I like them all. I have some for you. "Don't limit your challenges...challenge your limits." (Got this from another BodySpace member) "There are many things that can be recycled, but time is not one of them." "The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything." Keep fighting...the good fight.

You look TERRIFIC! I like your definition of PUSH and hope you don't mind if I use it for my personal motivation! Also, what cutting diet did you get on to get shredded without losing muscle? I can't seem to get that right and flatten out all the time :(
