I've been working out on and off for abou 10 years but havn't aways been serious. I got serious during a military deployment in 2007 and worked out consistently for about 18 months. I was in the best shape of my life in 2008. In early 2009 I hurt my shoulder at work and being stubborn, didn't do anything about it for 6 months. Ended up a subscapularis tear and bicep tendon rupture. During the time from 2009-2011 I had two surgeries to include a biceps tenodisis. I moved and started a new career, attended college full time, and produced two children.

So here I am now, overweight and in horrible condition. Just finished college so it's time to focus on my physical health.

I love the feeling of accomplishment you get after a good workout and when you see results happening in the mirror.
