A Little About Me
When I Started Working Out
last summer of 07How I Started
my dad made me, but now i love itWhy I Love It
i have no idea. the health benefits, extra strength and muscle, it's funHow I Stay Motivated
i don't know either. it's just kind of in my head that i have to work out.it's a frame of mindMy Worst Injury
injured my quad and glute during track and field and had to lessen up my training. it sucked
I Would Love To Meet
Jamo, John Berardi, Julien Greaux, Nick Jones, Jay Robb, Tony Horton, Michael Johnson, Chris Cornell and Tom Morello, Slash, and maybe Ronnie Coleman
Goals
Main Goal
Stay fit until i die and then continue working out in heaven. hahaShort Term Goal
become great at the javelin throwLong Term Goal
fit for lifeBodyfat Goal
Heck, i don't even know what percent i'm at nowWeight Goal
hmmm, 190-200 without getting fat. i'm going to cut carbs and slim down so i'll then be able to utilize carbs so that they work for me and get big. i've done my research for this stuff on T-nationFavorites
Bodyparts (Opposite Sex)
ahhh, everything, but they must have some good posture
Bodyparts (Yours)
Heck, it all just needs to be good. if you only had one good bodypart then you'd look like a goof. imagine some guy with massive arms but a tiny chest and back with puny legs. doesn't that just seem weird when you think about it?
Exercises
i like compound exercises that work mutiple muscles such as the deadlift, chinups, dips, bent over rows, etc...
hmm, any kind of free weight stuff, biking, i enjoy hiking even though i don't get to do it that much, cutting wood, yes, i just said cutting wood. it's total body so why shoudln't it be a good exercise. if there are guys who take a sledgehammer and smash a 300 lb tire with it then why can't cutting wood do the same thing? IT CAN!!!!Healthy Foods
everything in the house. EVERYTHING!!! it's all organic and all natural. i mainly eat fruit, proteins, vegetables, and raw nuts and seeds
Not So Healthy Foods
hmmmm, i guess when i go out to eat since even though you pick healthy choices it still comes out to be bad for you half the time and probably food that i'll have to eat at my friend's house. i try to make the best choices.
Supplements
Biotest Flameout (fish oil), Xtreme Formulations ICE (BCAA)
Hobbies
umm, duh, working out is number one. guitar, dirtbiking and regular biking, fourwheeling, hanging out w/ my friends, learning about health and fitnessMagazines
Mens Health
Books
health and fitness books, harry potter books, septimus heap series, artemis fowl series, Marley and Me, and a couple others
Workout Music
ROCK MUSIC ONLY!!!!! such as the offspring, atreyu, chevelle, and some others. those three are my top but i might put in something else like rage against the machine, godsmack, metallica, etc.

question on bulking
Hey Jamo,
i had a question about bulking and thought you'd be able to answer my question(s) really well since you were a former bodybuilder. I'm 16, 170lbs and want to gain mass like most people do. My whole family eats clean so that's not a problem, but what i want to do is gain about 15-20lbs over the summer and continue to gain muscle during the next school year. I'd like to be a lot bigger and very strong for next track season so i can do better in the throwing events. I'll be using recipes from a book called Gourmet Nutrition by John Berardi. It's a clean eating book for people who workout/train. I'll also be using Jason Ferruggia's Maximum Mass program because it focuses mainly on compound movements and functional training. Along with that i'll be doing core work so that my core stays strong. I'll be supplementing with BCAA's, fish oil, and creatine.
My questions are: am i doing the right things to get muscular and strong?
will taking in about 1000-1500 extra calories be enough to become bigger and stronger (it'll come out to about 4000-4500 calories) or should i take in more?
and is there anything else you think i should be doing or should know?
Thanks a lot Jamo! i always learn something new and interesting everytime i come to My Fit Tribe.
