I started working out about 20 yrs ago just plain dumb about but i wanted to get bigger. i didnt eat right or train right that is until i went to work on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, there was a helichopter pilot that stayed on the platfrom he was an ex marine captain, very quite guy most considered him an ******* but i was intrigued with his work out ethitic every day rain of shine he worked out we had to make out gym out of what ever we could find but there was plently of stairs to run and places to do pull up and he dearly loved wide girp pull ups, he didnt really want a work out partner i just tagged along and tryed to do what ever he was doing. i weighted about 150, he allways told me i was a poor excuse for an amercian male, i just flipped him off and kept workingout there where no encourging words from him only ridacule but i was so impressed with his detemination and self motovation, that was about 20yrs ago we both took different jobs in the gulf i still see him from time to time he allways looks me over good it feels so good to be in good shape when i see him, he is an awsome motavator i have gained 20 + pounds of muscle sence then,He looks exactly the same "awsome", working out has had such a positive infulence in my life and my sons and daughters also and i owe part of that to captain Andy B. Wise. So hats off to you Captain if by Chance you read this cause i would never tell you this kinda **** to your face lol.
