I was active duty stationed in Europe and got an invite to a show. I knew nothing about bodybuilding. I read Muscle and Fitness and played sports. I will never forget the day Charlie Corollo showed me how to pose and said you can stand on stage tomorrow. I bought the wrong oil and trunks, but put together the best 90 sec routine...LOL... I placed 4th in Light Heavy with no dieting or training or even preparation and I've been hooked since then.
Why I Love It:
Keeps me balanced emotionally and physically....also I like helping others and it is interesting to keep up with science and physics, etc.
How I Stay Motivated:
My body needs the gym so when I'm out I feel it...also the misses won't let me quit...She keeps me weaving on my toes. If I fall off she quickly reminds me of all the reasons to keep get back on track including the "...you were the one who got me into muscles..." speech.
BB Accomplishments:
Top 5 at the 2005 INBF amateur World competition...my second contest with only 4 weeks of dieting.

gaining lean Muscle and seeing my abs again....for now...we'll go from there.
Goal (Long):
My goal is to make National's / Team Universe in 2010 which will be my first year competing in the NPC. This means gaining lean mass and maintaining/building more muscle is detrimental. I just signed with Sean Calder (swcalder on bodyspace) and am looking forward to the new development as well as seeing most of you guys on the circuit.

I want to GAIN 30 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
3%
Upcoming Contest:

Description: Incline pressing 245 with 30 secs of rest between sets...I know I'm weak, but been out of the gym and ended up benching 275 for 4 reps on incline after exhausting my chest with Hammer Strength, incline push ups, and Cable Flys...ended with weighted dips.

Description: Self explanatory...somebody challenged me about the "proper way to execute" but what works for you and safely...Most top athletes modify exercises often. This works for me...
Why I like this video: Kai Greene has an awesome physique. I think that mine is similar although a lot smaller (for now). I also like the way he displays his unique physique and would like to mimic this new form of art and physical presentation...as best I can.
Kai Greene
Played: 176
Why I like this video: Come on it's Kai Greene....He, Melvin Anthony, dexter Jackson, and of course Ronnie are my favorite bodybuilders because of their complete and near perfect physiques and original presentation.
Kai Greene and Paco Bautista in 1999
Played: 104
Why I like this video: This is Kai in 1999. HE was between 220 -230 at the time. In 2 years I plan to compete at that weight. BIG, HARD AND SHREDDED>

Been away FAR too long. For the past couple weeks I've been trying to get off my lazy @$$ and get back in the gym...I can use excuses like I just had surgery not too long ago...or I am VERY busy in my professional life and with Family...or face the fact that I've gotten lazy as a result of...
Well the new busa is actually a 1340. The 900 and 1100 are also pretty strong. Truth is you'll kill yourself on a 250 if you don't respect it. So I say get what you want. Just take the time to get the hang of it before you find an open rode and cut loose.
Yeah its strong. Everyone who has seen me ride says that because of how I lean into curves and corners I should stick to a 1000. The 14 may be too heavy. Just gotta get my hands on one and see for myself.
Training is good. I hear that Busa is real aggressive. Never driven one myself. I'm looking to upgrade too. I'm a Kawasaki man so I'm thinking ZX14. Don't know yet though. Need to test drive a few different models. I've been told for the way I ride I really don't need anything bigger than a 1000 so the ZX10R is a possibility. I ride a ZX9R now. Just need to test drive a 14.
Hey, how's it going. I search for ppl that use BSN Atrophex and you were at the top of the search results. Does it work well for you using the appropriate dosages and timing?
Whats up homie? How is training coming? I got like 2 weeks left till the end of my 12 week transformation challenge. I am down to like 218 and was able to keep on good size. Any tips for the last two weeks?
