When I Started:
Sep, 1986
How I Started:
I got started working out when I was in high school with a weight bench my parents got me for Christmas. When I went off to college two years later my roommates were all collegiate athletes and they showed me how to up the intensity of my workouts. I've been hooked since then.
Why I Love It:
It's a great stress relief and I like how you can see and feel the results each workout.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated every day whenever I see someone in better shape (perceivedly). I challenge myself to continue to stay in shape, to stay active, to stay fit, and be in excellent physical condition.
BB Accomplishments:
In the first 5 years after I started training I put on 50 lbs of muscle. In the 17 years that have followed I've maintained my weight and bodyfat save for two very short periods of time around two serious injuries.
Forum Signature:

I think my body is pretty good as it is now but I'd like to make it pop a bit more. At the same time I want to make it functional for competing in sports. I've always wanted six pack abs and I'm close but need a little more work to get there. But I don't want to sacrifice my size or strength to get there. My goal is to get there by summer while also reaping the benefits of being stronger, more agile, and with more endurance.
Why do you like having a workout partner? What are the benefits?
I like having a workout partner because it helps you need motivation and it also helps motivate you to go to the gym when you have someone motivated depending on you to be there for them. It's also nice to have a spotter for really challenging yourself.I like having a workout partner because it helps you need motivation and it also helps motivate you to go to the gym when you have someone motivated depending on you to be there for them.

What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
I try not to but sometimes a little grunt will come out. I'm not really a fan of it just to do it.
Sam Byrd 1050lb Squat at 198lb - New 'All-Time' Wo
Played: 113
Why I like this video: Just because I'm tired of all the Ronnie Coleman feats of strength videos out there. Keep in mind this guy weighs only 198 lbs which is probably about 60 lbs lighter than Mr. Coleman.
Hossein Rezazadeh 280kg/617lb Front Squat
Played: 104
Why I like this video: An Olympic and Powerlifting Legend. Pure strength. No assistants and it's a front squat. Those are extremely intense and at this weight....
Hossein Reza Zadeh 305kg squat
Played: 87
Why I like this video: 671 lbs. No ultra compression weight suit. No knee wraps. No weight belt. Pure strength and power. Not even a spotter. He's a man among boys.
I am getting tired of seeing one member after another put up videos of themself training on BodySpace using shitty form. I mean just flat out awful form. From deadlifts with arched backs and rolled shoulders to pull ups where they are swinging and not even getting their chin over...
I'm not very good at cutting :p When it comes to eating, I definitely have a hard time turning food down. Yet, I've still managed to lose some weight..I blame my over-active metabolism. Aside from that, we're working 16 hr shifts which is making it seriously tough to get to the gym and get on a consistent meal plan. It could definitely be goin better, but at least its going.
Happy New Year! I enjoyed a quiet evening with a fantastic dinner, watching the fireworks from inside because it was ice cold outside. I hope you had a wonderful celebration :)
"Home" is in a different country then the one in which I live in right now so I don't do anything like I normally do. I hope you have a nice evening & night tonight. :)
Yes I know, I'm not eating as I usually do either. I have been to the gym a couple of times but not as much as I usually do. I feel really bad about that.
Twins? Very cool! Any kids of your own?
NYE plans are up in the air at the moment; we were going to go to a cottage with some people but there was an unfortunate death, so we will either be going to a party that one of my friends is having, or a party one of the boyfriends' friends is having. Yourself?
