I trained for sports in high school and fell out of it when I had kids. Then in 2005 my younger brother was preparing for his first competition. Citing me as one of his greatest mentors I knew I wasn't exactly in shape any longer so I got back to work.
Why I Love It:
Its all about you molding yourself into what ever you dream of being. No one can stop you but you and no one can make you work for it but YOU. Its just you and the iron. Strength & Honor
How I Stay Motivated:
Every morning when I look in the mirror and Im never satisfied. I have a vision of what I wanna be physically and I will achieve it.
BB Accomplishments:
Have not competed in any bodybuilding shows....YET. Won multiple bench press competions in 2006 with my personal best being a 405 raw press at body weight of 230lbs.

This was taken on the beach in the Bahamas, I thought I was still looking good back then, now its the picture that motivates me
not happy with the midsection, need to get my abs to pop
Compete in a bodybuilding comp so I have the monkey off my back and I can always say I did it and could again if I wanted to. Once this is accomplished i'll solely focus on powerlifting, loosing strength with the weight lose is killing me.
I've been back bulking for about a month and while most of my gains have been on the leaner side, im very unsatisfied with my current physique, hence why there has been no progress pictures lately. As I dieted down I constantly told myself, ok when its time to bulk your gonna have to sacrafice...
Deadlift: 3 warm up sets of 5. 405 x 5, 455 x 5, 495 x 3
Barbell Rows: 275 x 10, 315 x 10, 365 x 6-8, 405 x 2-4
One Arm Pully Rowns: 3 set of 8, 6, 4 reps
Wide Lat Pulls: 3 sets of 15
Seated Close Rows: 3 sets 12 - 15 reps
LOL at your last comment (I know, many days ago, I'm a slacker :(). How's the leaning out, going? Still going on my half-marathon training, and hopefully won't break any bones skiing next week :) Happy Holidays, my friend!! :)
Here here. Now we're talking!!! Keep me informed! You have to come over and check out my music video!!!! I know it's NOT Peter Frampton, but it's cool!
Hi Mike - hope that you're getting enough rest... in between your stints in the gym and working shifts as a paramedic lifesaver. I felt pretty annoyed when I learned that somebody out there's sending lewd messages your way. I'm pretty sure I speak for everybody that's commented here when I say that as a team, we really won't tolerate that type of behaviour being directed at one of members/friends
Hiya - gorgeous right back atcha! I've been doing well - craziness around here for sure, but keeping my head above water. How is it on your side of the coast??
Funny, I know what you mean to say, and I know you do hon. I was just busting your balls! I do that, you know? It's all part of my charming, adorable, annoying, sarcastic wit??!! I think I am fully back at it again. I got my butt to the gym for over an hour and then went tanning. Yeah, I'm good.
I wish could say I didn't have to watch my diet! I don't like you right now! Only kidding. I am good. I think I had burnt myself out but, I feel better now.
Hi Mike! I just wanted to say Yo Gabba Gabba!! (I know you love it when I say that!). I'm back at it, so I'll be around more... I know you are thrilled! haha I hope all is well. Talk to ya soon. -Gab
I had checked the mailbox at midday...nothing. It wasn't until later, coming back from the gym, that I discovered it!! Check out the picture. There's a message there for you!
Sounds like a bloody good workout there - good on the dieting and getting enough sleep as well (that's the area I consistently fail on). Thanks for the feedback as well.
Sorry about the late reply...You get on with Horry County? I hit the Gold's in Myrtle Beach across from Coastal Grand mall. Might need to get up sometime.
