I got a late start in fitness, I was one of those awkward, lanky, clumsy kids who always got picked last when choosing teams in PE class - not athletic in the slightest. I really didnt do anything fitness wise till I was 21 and started lifting weights. I'm 48 years old now and have been lifting weights an hour a day, five-six days a week, 52 weeks a year, for the last 27 years. I take at most one week off from weights a year, but usually only skip a day or two. After starting to lift weights, my confidence was boosted and I started to enjoy other sports as well - skating, hiking, volleyball, cycling, windsurfing, and recently running and swimmng. I reached my genetic potential at about age 40 and have been stable at 235lbs with 8% body fat since then, no strength or mass gains or losses.

I started this website back in 2005 because I got fed up with how fitness and bodybuilding had become nothing more than another big business run by money hungry corporations. I was looking for some fitness info on the web and I was disgusted that the only thing that came up were slimy ones all trying to push expensive products. The only good unbiased website I found was a Christian based one but it hadnt been updated in several years and wasnt very complete. Bodybuilding has done a lot for me and I wanted to give back to the community and help those without money to build killer bodies. In this era of high-tech fancy machines and expensive neon lined gyms, people have forgotten that bodybuilding started out with very simple equipment - namely just cheap dumbbells and barbells. I wanted to show the people with no money how to build the same ripped, muscular physiques as the ones who can afford supplements and expensive gym memberships.
