Hobbies: Bodybuilding & Power Lifting

Goals: Become a certified personal trainer, natural pro bodybuilder & own my own gym one day.

"I love stepping on stage competing against others. It's especially pleasing beating guys that I know aren't clean"

I normally work out 6 days per week. I focus on one body part per day & then do 1 or 2 exercises for a secondary body part. Since I have a power lifting background I like to go heavy on my squats, bench press & dead lifts during the off season.  Here's my current split.

Monday - Legs
Tuesday - Chest & 2 exercise for Triceps
Wed - Back & 2 exercises for Biceps
Thur- Legs & Shoulders
Friday - Biceps & 2 exercises for Back
Saturday - Triceps & 2 exercises for Chest
Sunday - Rest

I do abs 2 to 3 times per week along with cardio. I'm also doing 100 to 200 calf raises every other day b/c my calves are my weak point.  I've been seeing pretty decent gains from this workout & will stick with it for another few months.

My advice to aspiring athletes is to learn proper form first. I think correct form is much more important than how much you can lift. Once you begin using correct form your strength will increase.  I also think to many of the young athletes are getting caught up with all the supplement advertisements. These companies are paying athletes to promote their products & say they use them.  Don't expect to look like Ronnie Coleman
or Jay Cutler after taking the products they advertise. As a natural athlete I find it important not to get caught up in all the different supplements out there. I think protein, creatine & multi-vitamin is enough to build a great physique.

Update:

Past - I began working out January 2000. At that time I didn't imagine I would grow to love the sports of bodybuilding & power lifting so much. Initially my goals were simply to get bigger arms and chest. I started out by purchasing a 35.lb dumbbell and some push-up bars. Every night at 7PM I would perform as many dumbbell curls as I could, sets of push-ups & sit-ups. I could only curl the 35.lb dumbbell 3 or 4 times so I was a little discourage & regretted the decision of not choosing a lighter weight. Over the next month my repetitions with the 35.lb dumbbell increased. Friends and co-workers began noticing changes on my 133.lb frame. My co-worker/friend James Carder convinced me to start going to the gym. When I began working out with James we worked out 5 days per week, targeting one body part per day. This concept was new to me and very painful. I was only accustomed to working chest & arms. So the first time we did legs I told myself my gym days were over. It was back to video games for me. However James convinced me that I wouldn't always be that sore & I should stick with the routine.

Present - Currently I'm serving in the United States Air Force stationed at Lajes Field, Azores, Portugal. I'm preparing for the U.S Forces-Europe Bodybuilding & Figure Championship in Wiesbaden, Germany on September 12th. The show is INBF sanctioned, meaning you have to be drug-free for the past 7 years. INBF verifies this through polygraphs and urinalysis. I'm training 6 days, one body part per day.  My current split is:
 
Monday - Legs
Tuesday - Chest
Wednesday - Back
Thursday - Shoulders
Friday - Biceps
Saturday - Triceps
Sunday - Rest

I mix abdominals and calves in several days a week. I'm also doing cardio 2 to 3 times per week. This will increase as the contest approaches.
 
Future - My future goal is to become a WNBF Pro Bodybuilder. I'm praying and working hard so it'll happen September 12th. Also in the near future I'll begin studying for a personal trainer certification so I can help others achieve their goals. I feel I can be a positive influence on others and I want to make sure I'm knowledgably to help with their fitness goals
