Wrestled and played some football in high school which included some weight lifting.
At around 21, got more involved in weights and made good gains until about age 26 when marriage and work affected my gym routine. Stopped altogether from 1997 to 2005 and ended up a fat 205lbs.

Flipped the switch in 05 and haven't looked back. I have learned alot about the science of body building and understand that I didn't know squat when I was in my early 20's.

Now in my 40s, I'd like to get my body in show shape and prove to myself that it's possible. I might not get there but where I end up will be better than where I was.

To be a good influence on my family and friends. It keeps me sane and I like seeing the changes in the mirror.
