Gentlemen and Ladies,
I don't know how I avoided this section for this long, but I suppose it is somewhat overdue. Im going to due this chronologically... I was born in 1979 in New Jersey, we then moved to Florida. I spent my childhood in Clearwater Fl before moving to Missouri with my family as a young man in my teens. I graduated from the University of Missouri, and got into political jobs for shit money. Shortly after finding out that working as a grunt in a political office will never pay, I started managing restaurants. I became the GM of a steakhouse in Missouri. After 2 years of 80 hours per week, I decided that to was not a life. So, I packed up, headed out West, and started a new life. I bounced around a bit in corporate management jobs using my degree for 4 years until I found my new life.
A buddy of mine came to me with an opportunity to work in a strip club. The hours sucked, but the pay was astronomical. I jumped in with both feet and it has been the best 2 years of my life.
Now behind the scenes...
I was born a healthy fit baby, and I continued to stay at normal weight until about age 6. When I turned 6 I was walking to and from Kindergarten on my own. I would occasionally skip school and eat ice cream, cookies, and drink whole milk until my parents got home. By the time I was 7.5 - 8 years old, I was obese. At 13 years old I weighed 242 Lbs, and I had high blood pressure. I started playing football and the weight training quickly showed me that I had genetic potential for above average strength, quickness, and speed. I changed into more of a barrel by the time I was 16. I was still about 242, but now I was squatting 645 Lbs and slaughtering dudes 2 years older than me in comps.
Of course, the entire time, my coaches are telling me that my body can do more and that only my mind is weak. Slipped a disc in my back, spent 3 days on the floor unable to get up, and I will never be the same. Lost my strength, could no longer play ball, and I was never going to be able to approach cleans or squats with the same mental approach ever again.
Basically, then I went on a moron diet and cut my calories to about 800 per day with no weight training or cardio. I went all the way down to 192 Lbs and I was nothing but soft thin fatness... I literally looked like I could donate estrogen from my pores. As I found myself sitting in disgust over my body, I decided to educate myself, and find new ways to approach crafting my physique. I bought the Encyclopedia of Modern body building, and snagged a copy of Pumping Iron from Block Buster. I learned how to lift with perfect form and control. I removed the rage component of my approach, and replaced it with the mindset sculptor. I slowly built myself back up to 205 Lbs. By the end of my senior year, I was 220 Lbs and looking good.
College came, started smoking pot, got a girfriend, partied, smoked, gained 25 lbs over 4 years, and those were the good parts...
Shattered my Skull in December of 2006
I went up to 272 Lbs by January of 2010. I started my current journey at this point. I decided that I was no longer going to take an approach of temporary change, but that I was going to change everything about the way I handled diet and exercise. I started the 7 day a week routine I have been on for the last 29 months, I have seen my body go through an incredible metamorphosis. I have never been more happy or secure in my life. I put in the hard work and dedication and uncle nappy gave me the tools.
