When I Started:
May, 2007
How I Started:
When I was younger (10 or so), I used to see how many push-ups and sit-ups I could do in 30 seconds and 1 minute. In high school and college I played football and wrestled, so off-season workouts were a must.
I returned to the world of iron in May of 2007 to begin a new journey in my quest to be healthy and fit. It had been over 5 years since I’d last thrown the iron around. Now a little older and wiser (hopefully), I have a newfound perspective, motivation, and determination to stay healthy and fit.
Why I Love It:
I love the adrenaline rush from a good hard workout or throwing up heavier weight than you did a month ago. There is such a sense of accomplishment leaving the gym with your muscles all pumped from a good workout, especially when you initially didn’t feel like working out that day.
How I Stay Motivated:
All of the beautiful, fit, and muscular bodies on BodySpace are a great source of motivation.
Now I've adopted a healthly lifestyle and I love it! After 2 years of working out I am able to take time off from working out to rest and as long as I eat healthy my physique does not change much. It is amazing at how much all of the hard work pays off!
BB Accomplishments:
Staying motivated and determined to be healthy and fit.

This pic is about 3 months after I started working out again. Drastically changed my diet and was seeing good progress in abs. Don't have a pic from when I originally started.
Just took a break from BodySpace but still was working out hard! Finally the CPAmuscle returns to the Space! ;-)
Goal (Long):
SHORT GOAL: Maintain body weight around 168 - 173 lbs. and reduce body fat to around 8-10%.
LIFE GOAL: Stay committed and focused to maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle. Not allow my job to consume me and my time. Keep life in perspective and focus on the things most important to me (family, friends, working out, healthy lifestyle, and helping others).
Well it has certainly been awhile for me since I've actively managed my bodyspace profile. For those that are interested, I have continued to work out hard. I just could not manage the profile all of these months due to work, family, friends, moving, work again... well you get the idea. ...
Hey Matt, read one of your blogs and saw you don't do taxes....but you get the gist. Hang out on bb.com a little more often. Looking great still. Your results show just how important diet is....as you stated you haven't worked out as consistently as you wanted but managed to keep the same body composition. Great job!
Hi ya Matt! things are great! I kinda took a low profile break from here lol. Mostly came on to add friends. Seeing some great progress. Trying to really kill the cardio sessions. (HIIT time to burn more fat) How are things with you?
Now its my turn Matt, haven't heard back from you man. I'm sure you've been very busy. Still looking great though! You need to give me some pointers on how to build such an awesome chest. I've been back in the gym a week and a half now, cardio only, and will start back with free weights next week. Hope all is well. Update me when you can.
Hey Matt! It's good to hear from you! I'm glad to hear things are going well-you look great as usual. Things are going good for me, just getting over a cold. I'm looking forward to the holidays to spend time with family and friends, as well as enjoy some time off.
Keep us the hard work! Talk care!
