Overall Goal: My joints can't keep up with my lifting goals so I still want to be and stay in the best shape of my life, I just gotta stay under 180# and stay under 15% bf.
Fit Status:
New workout bud is awesome! I'm pushing him and his kicking my A$$! What doesn't hurt right now...
Dover Area Hs Attended 1976 to 1982 Dover, Pennsylvania United States
When I Started:
Jan, 1983
How I Started:
I graduated high school 125# but thick muscular legs - just wished the rest of me was as muscular. Envied all the jocks I went to school with. Got talked into hitting the gym with co-worker. Loved it ever since! Met so many great people that encouraged me to strive for my very best and so I try to do the same now.
Why I Love It:
Love the pump and the self confidence. Love to kick azz and have my azz kicked by a workout buddy bigger than I am. Love it when I can lift more than them for a short size. Love to flex and see the pump, see the size, see the progression of my hard work.
Been working out since 1983. Have nutrition degree from University of Florida. Spent 8 plus years in the sport nutirition/sports supplement industry. Spent more than 6 years personal training. My background is very diverse. Worked with individulas of all ages, sizes, strenghts and goals. And I can honestly say that after spending a month - changes were seen by all.
How I Stay Motivated:
I need a good workout partner - someone to challenge me. I also love to workout guys and watch them transform. That pushes me also. I also see the health issues that plague my siblings and I never want to be a health burden on anyone as I get older.

BB Accomplishments:
Just hearing the compliments and once won a best chest and butt contest In Hawaii one drunken night.
My accomplishments have changed over the past few years. I get great pride when I train people or workout with people and they get HUGE. Love to see the transformation in others.

1993 caught changing after a pool party. 5'6" 155# Somebody feed me. Please!!!
176lb, just finished "V-bar" tricep pushdowns with the whole stack (200lbs) for 10 reps. Oh Yeah!!!! Thanks to Lenny who held my butt to the floor - actually holding on to my shoulders.
My joints can't keep up with my lifting goals so I still want to be and stay in the best shape of my life, I just gotta stay under 180# and stay under 15% bf.
Goal (Long):
Some people were making comments about my old goal: "Want to be looking the best shape of my life, big and buff - without looking like a crack whore." So I changed it. My shoulder is screwed up. Serves me right trying to out lift guys half my age. So now my goals are to maintain size and cut some while protecting my shoulder. Most everything right now is lifting lighter but extremely slow reps and higher number of reps per set. Get down to about 10-15% body fat, but no go lower. Look healthy and be healthy. Make friends and encourage one another along the way. This is just one aspect of who I am, I still am working on improving my mind and soul as well as work on this body.
Incredible progress. Seems honest and down to earth that she put herself out there - flaws and all. Plus I am sure it helps that she is so beautiful. A refreshing classy beauty in the midst of so many trashy wanna be's.
To constantly better myself in all areas of life. I read more than I watch TV. I practice my cooking skills. Jesus Christ is an important part of my life so everything I do - I want to do it for His glory.To constantly better myself in all areas of life. I read more than I watch TV.

Other than the obvious benefits (appearance, health, etc.), how has bodybuilding and fitness improved your overall life?
I was able to hold my breath while swimming in vacation in Hawaii, allowing me to dive down below the surface where all my friends stayed.

Now get this. Yesterday: 175 pounds. Had an awesome shoulder workout. Solo, but really pushed myself. Sweatin my butt off and pushin' as hard as I could with no spot and no workout partner(s). Dumbbell shoulder press. Slow and controlled. Managed 65 pounds for 6.
Good, well rounded 5 day workout - hitting all muscle and supporting muscle groups each week. I will add or replace exercises depending on the equiptment available.

Hey Keith, just checking in to see how the progress is coming. I've done nothing but eat the last two months so I've got to get the added weight off again. Hope you are making some great progress, tris looking ripped bro.
it's not about how big your are it about how big you look. When you shredd up you look a lot bigger then you did w/ excess fat. Live strong. try fish oil for your joints if you don't already it helps my a lot.
Thank you for the kind words and for the encouragement. Good luck with your goals and stay focused on what you really want to achieve. Nothing is impossible.
Thanks for the pic comment Keith, my joints cannot lift heavy either so I decided to do the lean sculpting look. I feel much better no sore joints.
God Bless
Randy
