I got started to get stronger for wrestling and track & field. My Dad went to a PT and got a workout for me. He helped me to get the correct form. My Dad is my mentor. He would take off work to come to my wrestling matchs. He still motivates me by asking all the time if I am still training and lifting. He will give me advice.
Why I Love It:
I love the fact that it keeps me in better shape than the other person. I love the feeling of pushing myself pass my limits and feeling the results. It is the best treat to see yourself in the mirror after your hard work.
How I Stay Motivated:
Reading what the doctors say is wrong with me and laughing.Getting letters and emails from my Dad asking me how my lifting and training is going. I have to keep impressing him.
BB Accomplishments:

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Not following the proper technique and using any safety devices (i.e. spotter, straps, belt). Trying to act all big and bad!

What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
I have more of a Stallone and VanDamne body shape; I would have to say one of theirs with some 300 thrown in.

Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
I tore my whole lower back deadlifting and I have a birth defect in my lower back. Both of those combined caused two years of recover. I blown one knee out squatting and having the other one go out because of my daily tasks while trying to support my weight. A lot more but for other reasons (i.e. wrestling, boxing, and rugby)I tore my whole lower back deadlifting and I have a birth defect in my lower back. Both of those combined caused two years of recover. I blown one knee out squatting and having the other one go out be...more
I can lift as heavy and as hard as I want, but I don't feel the pump at the end unless I do a Century Mark. I remember the century mark from high school. At the end of my work out I pick an excerise and do it for a 100 reps. I have used medium weights but have to drop down once I hit 50....
Going to start adding the Crossfit work out to my afternoon workout. Sticking lifting heavy or go home method. I will use the Crossfit as a warm up to tax my muscles. Weekends will be just minor groups (abs,traps,calves,forearms) with clean & presses, overhead lunges, sprints. During the...
hey bro how are ya? I am good . I had to take time off to recuperate but I am back in the gym , treadmill and pool this week . still pushing for 8-10% bf and ripped!
Also..we all know the diet is the main thing, which is my biggest challenge.I do have a degree in exercise science and am a certified trainer, but am not a dietician and am constantly experimenting myself. But there's a ton of info out there and I would just recommend her to be consistent and keep it simple w/o the junk and educate herself. I'll stop hogging your page now...
Depends on her goals. Right now I'm doing a lot of outdoor (hot!) biking/track/stair workouts and HIIT (high intensity interval trng). For weights, I prefer circuits, supersets, giant sets...anything that is fast pace. I change the reps,sets and exercises b/c your body will get efficient (and burn less calories) if it isn't forced to do something different.
Alright. I changed my goal for now. No more "big and huge"...that was a sorta joke. NO, it wasn't funny. haha! 16% BF by Thanksgiving..plenty of time, but I've never gotten below my 18.1% underwater. Have a good weekend...Peace out!
haaha! I doubt it! How's VA treating you? Nothing really new here either. I started a chigger farm (kinda like an ant farm). If you can't beat em, join em! Hope you had a relaxing weekend
I lived in SC for awhile. I got escorted out. I was 8. Let's see, well there's that apply nail polish story. I keep meaning to look that up to see if it's real. It just doesn't make much sense the more I think about it.
My training is ok, I started back at the gym Tuesday morning and I did two sessions yesterday (one was a body pump class) but it was TOUGH! I'd only managed 3 runs (1 trail, 2 road) and just one weights session whilst away so I'm feeling it - esp as I'm used to trying to do something most days. I'm gonna join you on going back to hardcore everything Monday - for now wearing a tutu will have to be enough! :)
I knew it - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I looked at your age and almost wished you well but then I thought that my mind must be playing tricks! Are you seriously telling me that you are going sugar-free on your b'day? That is pretty hardcore - no cake?!
