When I Started:
How I Started:
I have always been athletic so pin pointing an exact date is out of the question for me. However, I did take a LONG break apart from running and lifting weights (3 years) but I didn't lose much tone or definition because most of it is heredity. I started working out again in January 2008 however from my pics some would say I have been working out longer. It was a good stress reliever and I was tired of just sitting around not doing anything. My stomach was still flat but my abdominals had really lost a lot of definition and I didn't want to end up like a lot of people...gettting really fat and remembering when they were once skinny and fit. So as motivation I decided to enter a Hard Body competition and I have been training for Hard Body competitions ever since.
Why I Love It:
I love the results and I love how I feel after a hard workout. Yes I will whine and groan when doing certain exercises but the job gets done and at the end of the day I am more than satisfied. I think now I am starting to groan about cardio more than lifting weights!
How I Stay Motivated:
The fact that God has even blessed me to be healthy enough and in a position to do this keeps me motivated. Having a companion who believes in me more than I believe in myself. My desire to not let myself become another unhealthy statistic as well as my desire to suceed in bodybuilding and fitness.

Down for eight weeks....may as well enjoy some good food during this process!!!
Goal (Long):
Hmmm. No real goal...I am restricted to absolutely not working out for eight weeks. The great thing is I am back at home so I get to enjoy five of those weeks relaxing, recouprating and satisfying a few food cravings I had in Iraq. One thing I do know...cardio is going to HURT when I am able to work out again and my workout partner is going to kill me with the weights! Maybe I can use this time to put on some weight in a healthy way!
15 reps and four sets. When my supervisor started training me I was doing somewhat heavy weight so he started me out of three sets of 15.

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
Maybe a minute or two. I just rest long enough to let the burn ease up and then hit the weights again.

Do you sometimes use energy enhancing supplements?
Yes
Which supplements do you take? When do you take them?
The Lipo 6X is a fat burner and energy pill and is outstanding. This pill epecially helps when I am returning to Iraq and haven't adjusted to the time zone difference. I have recommended Lipo 6X to a lot of people and they are all very satisfied with the results.The Lipo 6X is a fat burner and energy pill and is outstanding.

Nine days out from my first competition and I am soooo tired. Even after taking a day off due to being really tired I still just don't have much energy or momentum. Working 12 hours a day seven days a week and then working out for 2-3 hours seven days a week is just really taking a toll. Add...
