I understand that when I signed up to be a cop that I gave up alot.  A cop is considered "on duty" 24hrs a day.  He/she can NEVER be "unfit for duty" (drunk), and is held to a higher moral, ethical and legal (but shamefully not physical) standard.  Rightfully so.  The power to take away freedom, property and life calls for deliberate and righteous hearted people to do so.

 However, where is the line drawn?  Does a landscaping business or a catering service or a personal training business become a conflict of interest when the proprietor has a gun and a sheild?  Can he/she not engage in the very American pursuit of financial growth?

How about what we decide to do with our bodies?  For my part, my more recent treatment for very low test. levels by a licensed Dr. has put me and those in law enforcement under a microscope.  Not for the illicit use of what is considered steroids, but for the fear that a armed muscular person on "steroids" is a time bomb….ticking, ticking, ticking.

I have my opinion about that and it is this….  A licensed Dr. treating someone who has LOW test. levels, who happens to be a bodybuilder, certified trainer, and general fitness buff, is the measured hand that ensures that the patient"s test. levels do not rise above the level that causes "Rage" and that patient is then a healthy asset to himself, his family, his job and his country.

I’m proud to be a BODYBUILDER.  I’m proud to be a NYPD Street Crime cop.  I am PROUD to be an merican who sees fitness as a way of life and the cure for what ails this increasingly obese nation.

Now that i am DRUG FREE and competing again I wonder how soon the "job" is gonna start testing me and questioning my judgement as a cop.  One way to find out cause it’s Bodybuilding for life, baby!!

Are there any fellow Law Enforcement/Bodybuilders/FitFreaks out here?  And If so, how do you manage to get all of those meals in while working?
