Dru22’s BodyBlog

Hi my name is Drew Thomas. I am 23 years old and from Columbus, Ohio (Home of the Arnold Classic). I am a calculator/ auditor at S.E.R.S. (School Employees Retirement System) and I am currently going to school as an undecided major. I am into going out with friends, then again who isn’t. I enjoy the movies and having cookouts with family. Right now I am enjoying playing men’s competitive softball with friends I grew up with. I have always been into sports and am willing to give any sport a try. During my high school career I played football (QB, WR, RB, S, FS and K), Golf, Basketball (Guard) and Baseball (P and CF). I was an All-State baseball player and from there I attended The Ohio State University. I played baseball for the buckeyes as an outfielder.

            I first got into lifting when I attended college but I did it mainly because I had to. I wasn’t really into it; all I thought about was baseball and didn’t know the importance of lifting at the time. I just started getting into bodybuilding early this year and I have to say it is very addictive. I love seeing my body going through the changes. Seeing your body change is a big motivator. I am still learning the sport and as I continue to read more and more articles I have realized that there is a ton of info. I have taken some advice from friends about their workout routines and I have started a routine which I have changed to fit my needs. I have to say I love that there are always things to learn and I like going through the ups and downs of finding out what works best for me. It’s all part of the journey and I think it is a character builder. I have to admit that I have always seen bodybuilders walking around and I have said to myself I would love to look like that one day but I had no idea the hard work and dedication you have to put into the sport to be successful. So I have to say I have a huge amount of respect for bodybuilders. I just wanted to make my first blog a little bit about myself and explain in short detail why I started lifting in the first place. Thanks for reading!

In my next blog I plan on talking about my experiences on my first supplement stack. I am currently taking BSN No-Xplode, Cellmass, and Axis-HT. I also take ON Whey Protein and a GNC multivitamin.  I hope to include progress pictures.
