Well I was thinking the other night as I was shaving in the mirror…. why do I put myself thru all the pain of lifting and training? I’m 41 years old, married with 3 kids and have never really achieved any real success in my life. I mean I’m not a top bodybuilder, famous person, successful business man…. I’m just your average joe! Working to make a living…. and wishing I could do better for my kids. Well then I came on here and read Bryan G’s Blog http://blog.bodybuilding.com/BryanGee/2009/06/18/who-knows-the-reason-why/

and that made me think again about the question I had asked myself…Why?  Well to be honest it’s simple! This is the first time in my life…people see me different then they saw / judged me before. Growing up I was always the small guy… the one that was always at the end of a short or skinny joke. I hated it..I dispised it with everything I had inside…but acted like it never bothered me. So now I lift because it has given me a new Idenity. I still may be short, but I don’t hear about it anymore…. most people know me for my Arm size…thats what I hear most of now. People want to know how I got myself so big. I have never deined being a compliment whore..matter of fact I took pride in it! I still do….. everytime I hear a comment….it drives me that much harder. Yeah I’m 41 years old and married with 3 kids….. but I’m in the best shape of my life….stronger than I have ever been….. I’m not famous or rich…. but I’m one lucky sum beach to be the Father of 3 wonderful boys….. who think I’m Superman! Have a Happy Fathers Day my Brothers of the Iron! Keep on Keepin All!

Real Men Have Mass!
