"u can't build w/o clay"
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.

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
How I Stay Motivated:
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.

Goal (Long):
To start a solid bulk in October 2009. I want to try to get into bodybuilding. Its going to be a long road but I WANT IT... Compete by my 27th...
Change "I WANT," to "I WILL.." 1day@atime
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...
It was great!! The kids got spoiled by the grandparents and really enjoyed the whole day. The are 2 and 4 so it was pretty awsome to see their reaction when they saw that santa came. I saw that you are bulking, how is that going? I am tying to do the same until next week, then its balls to the wall cutting for L.A.
Definitely hit me up. One of the most common things I hear athletes tell me is that they were upset for waiting so long to start. Most successful guys get involved as soon as they show aptitude because they want to enjoy themselves in the sport. And you have definitely reached a point where this is VERY accessible, my man.
Why wait so long? The sport is about an ability to present, not about weight . . . and trust me you have a great set of equipment. I can't more strongly urge you to compete in '10 rather than wait a whole extra year. I'm totally open to discussing, BTW. Always interested in encouraging talent.
Hey man -- thanks for the add. Sorry it took so long to add you back! So, when you thinking about bodybuilding competition -- you are VERY close. Trust me -- it's WAY easier than runway, LOL!
hey bro good work man... been readin your articles and definitely are like you bub.. tryin to add lean mass and shred back out but diet is killin me man... anyhow keep up the good work...
