I was out of town working and the company put me in an apartment complex in Washington state. I was bored and decided I wanted to get in better shape, I thought I was okay but a little chubby at the time, BOY WAS I WRONG!!!! Turns out I was so out of shape I couldn't bench 125 lbs 5 times.... so I started in the little gym in the complex on the treadmill and multi gym set they had and saw nice results in 3 months and I was HOOKED!!!!

in the words of the great Arnold..... Its the PUMP!!!!! and the fact that at 46 I look better than MOST the 20 yo guys in the gym.... I feel good that they come to me for advise on lifting and training and some have said recently that I am a mentor type to them..... the truth is there are a TON of things I love about this sport.... every thing from the increased libido to the increased stamina levels to the vanity aspects that I look better than all the guys from way back in High School ( both then AND now ) and I look at least ten years younger now than I did two years ago!!!!
