When I Started:
Mar, 2002
How I Started:
I was skin and bones during my childhood. I got a weight bench at age 14, but used it like two times. LOL At a height of 6'3 weighing a very skinny 160 lbs., I finally decided to seriously take up weight training when I moved to Virginia in 2002.
Why I Love It:
It's a great way to eliminate stress and I love seeing my body change. It's a very addictive activity that allows you to stay healthy and fit.
How I Stay Motivated:
Putting together routines from bodybuilding magazines, seeing people in my gym, critiquing myself in the mirror, going to bodybuilding shows, and the help I've gotten from some people on this site.
BB Accomplishments:
Developed a more leaner, athletic look and have put on almost 30 lbs of muscle. It's a start.
Forum Signature:
I am trying to put on size and would like to enter my first contest in 2009.

To be lean, cut, and weigh 200-215 lbs. of muscle.
Goal (Long):
I want to ultimately weigh about 200-215lbs. The combination of my height and body type (ECTOMORPH) makes it extremely hard for me to put on size. Once I accomplish this, I'd like to do a competition.
I went to a bb contest in MD with a friend Saturday evening. Lots of great competitors and gorgeous models. The outcome was expected as the winner's size and definition was off the chain. However, this show had a male fitness model division and my friend and I were very surprised at...
I would suggest droppin the reps and upping the weight. I'd also check your nutritional intake. I'm now using ON Complex. I get double the protein as gold standard and the calories don't stay 2 high.
thanks bro. how is your progress going? I've been recently working on developing my back. I was so inspired by you and your progress. keep at it, man. It's working!
