Overall Goal: shoulder finally feeling good, and time has come to get back to it after relaxing for a few months, but I did become a CFT in the process
Fit Status:
just getting back into training after recovering from long nagging shoulder injury
I trained for sports in high school and fell out of it when I had kids. Then in 2005 my younger brother was preparing for his first competition. Citing me as one of his greatest mentors I knew I wasn't exactly in shape any longer so I got back to work.
Why I Love It:
Its all about you molding yourself into what ever you dream of being. No one can stop you but you and no one can make you work for it but YOU. Its just you and the iron. Strength & Honor
How I Stay Motivated:
Every morning when I look in the mirror and Im never satisfied. I have a vision of what I wanna be physically and I will achieve it.
BB Accomplishments:
Have not competed in any bodybuilding shows....YET. Won multiple bench press competions in 2006 with my personal best being a 405 raw press at body weight of 230lbs.

Carla continues to show all many things, first age is nothing more than mere numbers placed together. Second having kids and a career as your main priority doesn't mean you can't dream big and go achieve it. Carla is the most geniune person ever, I have the pleasure of calling her my friend and she has been there for myself so many times that I can't ever really show my complete gratitude. Carla I wish you were my mommy LOL
Talk about a man that allows nothing to stop him from dreaming big. I never want to hear an excuse why someone can't do it, bc Mike has reason to not be able too, yet he does. Im proud to call Mike a friend.
Today I ventured off to church for the first time in years, I sensed I needed some spiritual cleansing of sorts and needed to reconnect. The message of the day overwhelmed me, I felt this huge pressure thru my body as I listened to the serman, why? Well the answer is simple...I been walking...
Deadlift: 3 warm up sets of 5. 405 x 5, 455 x 5, 495 x 3
Barbell Rows: 275 x 10, 315 x 10, 365 x 6-8, 405 x 2-4
One Arm Pully Rowns: 3 set of 8, 6, 4 reps
Wide Lat Pulls: 3 sets of 15
Seated Close Rows: 3 sets 12 - 15 reps
Hey Mike - sorry I just cut you off the other day on Facebook (someone actually wanted some help...don't know what that's about since I was at work and all :). Anyways, thanks for the hello - plus interesting you've moved your training in MMA - as you say, it'll get rid of a lot of pent up anger.
P.S. sending a message on here since Facebook wouldn't let me post on your page for some reason ??
Hey Mike - had a few rocky weeks (got it on my blog here, or read my facebook profile). but taking a step back now and getting things in order again. Good to hear about the shoulder clearing up, although you ain't short on the delts department.
Life is good Mike, work school repeat. Congrats on th CFT status. Still looking ripped, whats your next goal? I am in a strength/power for the next 12 weeks then I am hitting the mass program again then get ready to cut and see what I have for the summer months.
MIKE!!!!! You made me laugh, then you made me cry! Thank you very much for what you wrote. Such a gift! You are so awesome. Thank you for putting me on your list of inspirational people. That is a HUGE honor. :D
beer and bbq is my thing..all year long. its bad. i have a nice grill and i put it to use! but with the weather changing, i go to a great bbq place here by my house. now im hungry.
Doing fine. I did the opposite of you ... took a break from walking and went lifting instead :) Now I'm getting back into the walking but I don't want to drop any of the lifting at all. :)
