A Little About Me

All Natural Bodybuilding.
Comp Sci major @ University of Pittsburgh [might switch to Engineering]
Im 22 now.
Started my bodybuilding career in Mar of '06. Had a cumulative of about 13 months of "injuries and leaves of absences from gym due to medication i was taking". So i know what its like to be miserable because you can't go to the gym :-p.
I'm into computers big time. Everything from building them, to programming, to making websites and networking .
Got my associates in Web Programming/Information Systems at a local community college. [CCBC].

A few good quotes...
"Don't compare yourself to others, this is about you vs yourself."
"Obsession is a term the lazy use to describe the dedicated."
"Go big, or go home."

When I Started Working Out

March 2006 [ minus 13 months of injuries/setbacks]

How I Started

To lose weight and get in shape.

Why I Love It

Requires you to push your mental and physical limits simultaneously. Look good, feel great.

How I Stay Motivated

Doing stuff right makes me see bigger, better, and faster gains.

My Worst Injury

New: Wrist bone decay... [currently still decaying]. I was out for 4 months.
Broken left hand. [still lifted, only 10% chance of ruining bone regrowth, lifted with it, was fine.]
Was out for 9 months due to some medications I was taking... [Was no point in lifting when I had severely restricted diet and could not take any supplements]

I Would Love To Meet

Dorian Yates
Anyone with an amazing outlook on life.

The hidden Dangers of *some* fruits!

Stevers's picture
Posted November 26th, 2008 by Stevers

Howdy All! Just something you might want to know, for those of you that eat whole fruits without skipping th cores :-p.

An excerpt from AskMen.com states this:
Fruit seeds (Cyanide)
What are they found in?
Apple seeds, cherry stones, and the kernels inside the pits of apricots, nectarines, peaches, and plums.

Why are they poisonous? The American Medical Association (AMA)'s Handbook of Poisonous and Injurious Plants states that eating a large quantity of apple seeds (and other seeds) can be fatal due to the presence of the toxin cyanogenic glycoside, or cyanide. The exact lethal dose is unknown, although swallowing the seeds of a single apple is generally harmless for an adult. Children are more vulnerable: 15 apricot kernels are sufficient to kill them.

Hi Stevers

Thanks for your welcome to MFT. I will get my profile fully updated shortly - just wanted to get logged on here first of all. I understand doing it alone is extremely difficult which is why I came here in the first place! Look forward to interacting with everybody as I progress..

Thanks for the comment. I understand about body types and all that, but I take it if you consume junk food and do weight training you will gain little results simply due to poor diet, am i right? can you get a bodybuilder's body from bodyweight exercises.. will dozens of push ups daily and a lot protein get you that body? or is this only possible by weights. Is it true push ups brake your muscle cells like lifting weights ?

Thanks stevo, for responding to my blog questions. I'm one of those that only has little bits of lots of different types of information swirling around in my head, and am not always sure about how to piece all of it together to make an informed and effective decision about what to eat, when to work out, when to rest, what type of workout to do, etc. I really appreciate the input from those here who have been doing "it" longer, and with success... it's why I joined MFT! Like you suggested, I'll skip my more typical strength-yoga in exchange for some stretch and flexibility stuff, drink a crapload of water, and see how I feel tomorrow. I usually don't run up hills, so that was a new switch-up for my muscles, I guess!

Namaste,
Lisa in Calif

if your joking about me being vein , then i am extremely offended because i am the oposite of vein , when it comes to training , i am the most serious guy at my gym , i put on baggy sweat pants and a big hoody and pull my hat over my face and put my ear phones in and get down to business , i am not some poofter poser who walks about the gym checking himself out every 2 minutes and trying to show off , i am the oposite of that , so i dont find your joke funny at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! very insulting !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Steve, I knew you would like the Daffodil Principle. I bookmarked the other you sent me. I think I might show it to the kids at school. I could get one of my whiz ones to make it project on the board somehow. It's a beautiful story with beautiful pictures.
We ought to blog it here. How could I blog it or you?
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs!
Teri

thanks for your advice but sorry i am going to have to disagree with you on this one bro !! I have looked at a million workouts and watch so many videos of guys like shawn ray n kevin levrone doing workouts etc and doing barbell followed by dumbbell press's is so common !! i copyed this exact workout from the newest muscle mag , why would they put it in one of the best bodybuilding magazines in the world if it wasnt good !! my main issue was triceps ??? any advice for under developed triceps ???

Comment by Stevers
Yes, full range of motion, controlled execution, proper form. 8-12 rep range for most exercises.
