I see you enjoy the shows.. Do you also enjoy working out?
Yes I do. I've been told by my trainer, who "IS" a BB, that I workout like a bodybuilder does. I just don't grow like one, probably because I've been type 1 diabetic all my life. Diabetes has led to advanced heart disease too, which led to my death 3 years ago. Luckily the doctors were able to revive me from my code, and roll me into ER for an emergency quad bypass. I was 34.
I typically do 6 days of cardio for 30 minutes on an elliptical at home, 4 days in the gym lifting and on those days, I warm up with 10 minutes of the stairmaster. I've tried all kinds of routines, and have recently started to switch them up about every 8 - 10 weeks. I always see a muscle growth spurt, and body fat reduction when I do, which is what led me to make it a normal part of my routine. I also take a 1 week break between 8 - 10 week sessions.
I'm a
Pride Nutrition junkie too. If I use a supplement, I check to see if they have it first. They're really great people there, and I trust and believe in their products. I use argenine, creatine & glutamine, protein powder, CLA, EFA, Calcium, and a Multi Vit.
The reason I do all this isn't so I can "get big" though, it's to keep me alive. "Getting big" is just a great benefit. I go to boards like this and to BB shows, to surround myself with those who have the same interests, for motivation to keep me on my path. It works!!!
Thanks!
