Background
When I Started: Sep 2005
HOW I STARTED:
I was quite the lightweight--barely tipped the scales at 100 pounds, and was ridiculed for it, naturally. I took a weight training class, and my fitness took off from there, along with starting martial arts training. Since then, I've gained almost 75 pounds, and I look and feel much better.
WHY I LOVE IT:
The challenge. It's all about challenging myself at every workout, to take it one step higher, to push the limit just a bit farther, and to improve myself as best I can.

Westside
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 6:11pmAlright, so, after a long time off and some experimentation with training, I think I'll return to my roots and go powerlifting again. After I blew out my knee/hurt my back, I took it way too easy, and now that I'm healed, I'm back in it (taking it easy at first, of course). I'll be doing a Westside approach, with 2 max effort days coupled with 2 dynamic strength days--one each for squat/deadlift work and the other for bench work. I've already done a couple weeks on the program, and it's going well, minus a little bit of elbow/knee pain (but nothing I'm not used to). That's about it for this up...
Unorthodox Approach
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 6:11pmWell, I have been away from the site for a long time now, and some major changes have been made in my routine. What changes, you might ask? I no longer lift weights. This is mostly true, anyway, as I have been persuaded by a good friend of mine to take up using the gymnastic rings. They're a really tough workout for the upper body (I still use weighted exercises like squats and leg presses for legs), and have given me great results. If you would have told me 6 months ago that building upper body strength and putting on muscle was possible without weights, I would have told yo...
Amazing workout!
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 6:11pmYesterday was back/traps day (my absolute favorite), and it was intense! I felt good, but my lower back was feeling sore--so I decided that this week wasn't a good day for rack pulls, especially after stiff legged deads on monday. So, after a couple warmup sets, I was feeling pretty strong, so i decided to go as strong as I could with barbell bent-over rows. Some of you will see the major jump I made in my lifting stats recently. The strange thing is that I was able to row just as much as I usually deadlift...very strange, but I'm feeling good about it! I guess my...

Hey, your abs are looking ripped, bro. All that AND after gaining 55 pounds? Incredible...really, nice work! I'll be posting my diet, exercise, and supplement routine in about a month. I'll keep you posted.

Sounds very similar, even working arms alone. I've got shoulder problems & working them with chest is just too much for me. Good luck with your training.

Thanks for the comment, I wish I had started bodybuilding when I was 19. I strongly suggest you start doing chinups if you are not doing them already. You'll have back better than mine!!!
