"I want to trim my waist by 2 inches and grow my chest by 1 inch."
Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
Sex:
Male
Age:
44
Location:
New Jersey, United States
Occupation:
Finance
Personal Website:
Gym:
Colosseum, or hotels
Gym Location:
wherever the heck I am.
When I Started:
May, 1987
How I Started:
The skinny kid, wanted to bulk up and get stronger. I got fat, then dieted (Badly) and lost some of the muscle I had. Then did South Beach, from 250 to 209 pounds, and have maintained at 220 since.
Why I Love It:
I honestly think I have more muscle mass now then I did at 30. Which is not saying a lot. But it's something.
How I Stay Motivated:
My legions of adoring fans send me keys to late-model Mercedes Benz motor cars. Honest. They do. Now go ahead, join in. Hint: I like silver.
BB Accomplishments:
I'd have to say it was not puking and giving up when I was working out with "the Crew" (James (50+) Chuck (40+) and Shareef (30+)) when my trainer, Paul hooked me up with 'The Crew' when he left to shack up with his honey in Brasil. They later said they expected the 'White Guy' to give up. Well it took me a while, but I have to say, I proved them right!

Man of a thousand faces? Actor in a hundred roles? No, chump with a dozen rolls.
I don't think this calls for a 'cutting' cycle so much as an amputation... pushing 220 and I look like Dolly Dimples at the side-show.
I want to trim my waist by 2 inches and grow my chest by 1 inch.
Goal (Long):
My waist is too soft and saggy, my organs take up too much room, I think they got kind of cocky in my 30's and started taking up all the space they wanted. Take that, spleen! Suck in that gut, liver! Drop and give me 20, lower GI tract! Ha. We'll whip them into shape. Uh, huh.
Not an improvement over August -- (in fact, 12 seconds slower) but that was on a dead-level course while this course had some minor hills. Feeling good though.
I try to do cardio 3-4 times a week, and lift 3x a week, but rarely make it that often. I want to get faster at 5k's and start doing 10k's, and eventually work up to a mini triathalon.
haha...the battle is over. cut outs and marble statue was this battle jay and i had this afternoon. he nearly whooped me but i came out the winner. he threw in the towel...sincerely the greatest MIKE haha. how's ur day bro?
thanks for the compliment. she is my niece and she is a handful. i feel great since I quit smoking. I have put on about 30 lbs in the past four months but I think it has something to do with the fact that I got married in August. lol
i stayed stressed out in the submarine force for about ten years and I would say at my worst I was smoking a pack a day. Over the last couple a years I would guess a pack every two to three days. good luck with your goals.
lol yea a lot of people are shocked when they see me these days!! and also shocked that i am not dousing all my food in ranch and 1000 island dressing! lol! happy hollidays brother!
Haha, here's how I am, basically...I can be the nicest, funniest guy around....I've been told I should do stand-up.....however, I've also been known to unleash my Italian/Greek temperish rage, which I hear is the worst combo for a quick menacing bite. This side of me can be unleashed within seconds, so beware. You can often see this side of me when someone is doing curls in the squat rack and I need to do SQUATS!
ha, actually the run was this year, i just havent updated this in a while, i dont get on here much anymore. but im sure i will find something to compete in this year. hows the workouts goin?
