Welcome to my training site.
My goal is to help you to develop your body
to it's ultimate potential.

I'm pleased to report that I've recently gotten some good news. My Doctor has finally given me the clearance to lift again at 50% of my ability. He feels that while I'm not perfectly healed yet, I won't do any further harm by starting to lift again, and may even help further my recovery. While this is far from my usual lifting routine, it is good news for me!

My current plans are as follows. I will be on a stage again by Fall 2004, and if all goes well, perhaps by Spring 2004. Thanks to all who wished me a fast recovery and to everyone who has stopped in to visit my site!

Frequent visitors to my site were probably noticing that I wasn't as active, not only in my e-mails, but in the photo and contest updates that I generally have on my site. I want to assure you that I didn't "hang up my trunks".

Initially, I did plan on taking all of 2003 off from competing, to gain size and move up a weight class... something that I wouldn't be able to do when dieting for shows. However, in mid June I injured my left shoulder playing, of all things, flag football. The jury is still out as to the severity of the injury as the Doctor believes it could be anything from a rotator cuff strain to a partial ligiment tear. I'm currently rehabbing in physical therapy, but it will be some time until I'm 100% again.

I'm still lifting, be sure of that, but I've dropped from my pre injury weight of 195lbs back down to 175lbs. I'll keep everyone posted as to my progress as I go.

Thanks for stopping in to visit my site!

Are you having trouble getting and staying in shape? It can be hard if you don't know how to do it. That's one of the reasons I'm now offering my services as your online training consultant. For more details Click here.

"I just can't seem to get into shape..."; "I really don't have the time to exercise...";"Bodybuilders have to train all day to look like they do...". I hear statements like this on a daily basis. Most people do not really know what it takes to get in shape, and stay in shape. I guess if you were to ask the one thing that I want to achieve with this site, it's to educate people on how they too can achieve the seemingly unattainable goal of a hard, chiseled physique.

After three years of competitive bodybuilding, and several more years of recreational lifting, I've learned many techniques which I can use to help you. If applied correctly, you can use these techniques and achieve the same level of conditioning that I have.

My current stats, are as follows:

Age: 30
Height: 5'5''
Weight (contest): 155 lbs
Weight(off season): 185 lbs
Neck: 16 1/2
Chest: 45 1/2"
Waist: 27"
Upper Arms: 16"
Upper Legs: 24"
Calves: 16"

The audience that I wish to reach with my website is mostly natural bodybuilders, but I want to make it meaningful and useful for any bodybuilder. I'm a member of the NABF (North American Bodybuilding Federation) and the ANBC (All Natural Bodybuilding Conference) and have been natural for life. My goals are ever changing, but the one thing that will not change is my desire to compete in as many contests as I can manage. Click here to check my growing Contest History.

It is my personal mission to help anyone I can to experience the changes and development that I have, as well as the rewards and respect that a healthy, muscular physique can procure for you! I hope to help other bodybuilders realize their potential, and want to make it easy for beginners to contact me for advice and general correspondence.

Thanks a lot for the visit. I hope you’ll bookmark my site and come again.
