I just got to playing around and reading Muscle & Fitness. I quit for about 4 years and didn't pick up a weight or any cardio. Then in 2002 I started again and was having fun with it all. I even thought about competing at local level. Then 2006 came along and my lower back went out to the tune of the VA refused after one surgery to operate any more. It was a great chance I would be paralyzed. I have tried even through the pain to do easy Bike warming and exercise. I have had to do it on and off when I could. I have not given up but I have to do it a little less it seems. Just not sure what's next but I will not quit. I became an avid reader of abcbodybuilding.com.

Man, I can't count the reasons but the feeling after. Being to where I can be of help to others. I like the discipline it instills in me. Learning and listening to others. If I could not lift, I would still read the articles. I was CPT from ISSA.
