Got interested thru high school sports like most people. The desire never went away. In August 07 I decided to train for my first competition. No Looking Back Now!!!
Why I Love It:
The pump. The challenge. The knowledge. The confidence. Friends I have made. The payoff - great health and good appearance.
How I Stay Motivated:
1. All of the people on bodybuilding.com
2. Look in the mirror.
3. The idea of living a longer, healthier life.
and
4. MY FOUR TROPHIES from my first two events.
BB Accomplishments:
The 2007 USBF Baltimore Pro-Amateur Natural Competition
1st Place Novice Heavyweight (yes at 154lbs, I was in Heavy. Big Under 154lbs turnout)
Runner UP - Novice Overall
3rd Place - Lightweight Open
The 2007 Charm City Classic - Bmore, MD
1st Place Novice Lightweight
Runner UP - Novice Overall
3rd Place - Lightweight Open
In general, the way I look today is my biggest accomplishment. Working out is tough. Just being disciplined enough to make it to the gym with consistency is a good enough accomplishment for me. Lots of folks fall off due to kids, spouses, jobs, etc. Thank goodness I have motivation from this website. Another big accomplishment is doing all natural without buying a whole lot of supplements that are way too expensive. I just eat good, clean solid meals 95% of the time.

178lbs - 8 weeks out
dang, i got stomach, tits, and asss
Trying to reach 180lbs. Currently 172. 3 weeks to go.
My crack fiend nerves are back again. Guess its the carb redux. 7weeks out and tired of chicken already. And no, I dont want fish!
Goal (Long):
Studying to become a personal trainer. A lot of work since I have a career that takes up at least 11 hours of my day. EVERY DAY.
But I feel if I am gonna motivate and improve others, I better look the part! No one wants an out of shape trainer motivating them. Right?!?!
Also I have some desire to do the fitness modeling. I guess ive been reading too many Men's Health and Maximum Fitness magazines!

Its official. MRI results show that I have a herniated disk in lower back, L5 i think. I was so overwhelmed with the results I dont know where in lumbar it is. Started steroidal treatment today. We will see what happens physical therapy in about a week. Good news, I can still do some light...
Its a secret. Actually Im working with a trainer and now that the season is over, Im taking a week off and he and I are gonna develop a training plan based on my next competition goals, weaknesses, etc.
LOL - 'DM Green' - phrase developed by Trey! Yep, we are just getting some cool post-Gustav breezes up this way. 20 degree drop of the thermmostat. Nice. U keeping strong 'til showtime, right?! *smile*
so what type of show should i compete in first? a novice? and about the posing, where can i learn it? i know a big part in wining is in your posing and routin..
ya i see what your saying...the only thing that is holding me back is the posing and learning it, also dieting and proper preperation for contest..but i really wanna compete lol!
ya i just looked at there site and saw it, but i can tell these guys are using something because of there muscle development. if you know what im talking about.unnatural look of muscle development.
ya im pretty sure these two guys at my gym are gonna compete there in Oct...they told me about it, but i dont think they test at that show, cuz i know they both arnt natural..lol
