When I Started:	Jul, 2004
How I Started:	It was around July 2004 that a co-worker sparked again my interest in working out. In the beginning I was on high protein ~ low carb diet (I wanted to lose fat). Well, my performance in the gym was awful. I couldn't lift much weight and it was very frustrating (of course!: Where the hell were the carbs? Da** fad diets!). Since then I have learned more about fitness, NUTRITION and embrace all bodybuilding-related info around (and still learning!). I got hooked and will never stop.
Why I Love It:	It helps keeping yourself healthy: physically and mentally. It's a great stress reliever. Love the PUMP!
How I Stay Motivated:	My own progress (the mirror!); other people's fitness achievements.
BB Accomplishments:
Forum Signature:	of course!: Where the hell were the carbs?

What supplements do you take immediately after your workout? Why?

Whey Protein + Glutamine + BCAA + other non-supp stuff: you have to start your muscles' recovering process right after your workout.

- Updated Jan 6, 2008 8:47pm

What supplements do you take immediately before your workout? Why?

BSN NO-Explode: it gives you focus, energy and great pumps.

- Updated Jan 6, 2008 8:40pm

What is the most dangerous weightlifting exercise? Why?

I don’t think there is a "most dangerous weightlifting exercise". Proper form and right poundage and you’re safe.
