 Why I Got Started

After my last bodybuilding competition back in November of 2009 I really fell off the face of the fitness world. I was eating horribly, training poorly, and just not taking good care of myself at all.
In mid March 2010 I decided that enough was enough and I was not only going to get back into shape, but I was going to compete again by the summer.
Unfortunately I was sitting at a disgusting 196 pounds with 15% body fat, far from my lean look as a bodybuilder back in November. I set the goal for myself that in 10 weeks, I would transform myself back into a competition bodybuilder.

 How I Did It

I started off my 10-week training program with low impact, long duration treadmill sessions, about 45 minutes on a 15% incline at 3.5 miles per hour. I changed my diet around completely, cutting out all the nonsense I was eating and getting back to a competitive diet consisting of egg whites, grilled chicken, lean meats, essential fats, and well-organized supplements. Soon after starting my training, it was like my whole life did a 360, I felt better, starting looking better, and loved the progress I was making from day to day.
At the end of the 10 weeks, I competed in the NABBA Garden State Grand Prix where I placed 3rd. The competition was great, but it was the journey there that taught me the most.

| TERMS YOU'LL NEED TO KNOW |
Failure - That point in an exercise at which you have so fully fatigued your working muscles that they can no longer complete an additional repetition of a movement with strict biomechanics.
