Why I Got Started

I decided in October 2006 to enter a competition in the spring of 2007. I selected the Ford's Gym competition. The reason I chose this was because it was where my friend lives. Not to mention the show was a drug free tested show. I got started in training hard and dieting because I wanted to do a bodybuilding competition.

I chose to do a bodybuilding competition because I have always been involved in sports and sporting related things. I am a very competitive person. If you need someone to reference that you can contact my friend Pam Stanton.

I am a very goal oriented person. I think this reason outweighs any other reason on why I competed. While competing I learned so much about my body, nutrition, bodybuilding, and my character.

Suggestions For Others

This section is tough. I say this section is tough because most people simply do not have the mental attitude and courage to do certain things in their life. People have so much potential. Notice how I just said potential, I did say they actually use this potential. It is a shame that people don't.

I would love to help anyone who is actually serious about accomplishing goals in their life. I would have to say as far as a transformation goes I would first start by eliminating sugar and foods that are high in saturated fat. The next step would be to put your self on a structured diet plan. I would recommend seeing a dietician or a nutritionist. Personal trainers by law are not supposed to put their clients on a diet.

As far as training goes. I believe it is important to try different ways to fatigue the muscle but not to get carried away with reps and different schemes. Let Joe Weider create the different training principles (not you).

Most people use a lot of different training techniques that they don't even realize. I think for the beginner to get in a gym 3 days a week is great. Hit your splits, learn some new things, and move on to more advanced concepts.

My last suggestions for other would be make sure you don't make excuses. Everybody has an excuse. Why don't you have an excuse why you accomplished something? If you want to do something you will do it.

As long as the goal is within reason there is no stopping the human heart and soul... So pour whatever you have into something and you will be found on top of the mountain with people looking up to you...
