These pictures track my progress in weight lifting from when I was 15 years old and 160lbs to the present.

This is me, 15 years old 160 lbs.  I started lifting when I was 11, but this is the first real flex picture I have.  Funny huh?

I was 16 or 17 years old in this one, I cannot remember.  I think I was around 170 lbs here...

I was 19 years old in this picture, I was about 185-190 lbs, 9 to 10% bf

Here is the same pose about 4-6 months later, I cannot remember.  I weighed 200lbs in this picture.  All natural gains....

This is the same day as the picture above...

In these last three pictures, I was playing baseball at SBU in Bolivar, MO.  I was running 4 miles every other day, and 2 miles on the off-day.  It was hard for me to gain weight running that much, but I did my best....

This picture is after I ruptured a disc in my low back...  I hurt it in august of 2000 and had to quit lifting for a while.  I had just started back in this picture that I took in october 2000.

Now comes the bad news....  They told me my back was fine, but I knew it was messed up.  I went around trying to lift and play baseball in college for about 5 months, finally I convinced a doctor to do some tests, and they found the ruptured disc...  I had hurt it in august 2000, and I didnt have the surgery till feb. 2001.  I was unable to lift for approx. 9 months.  I lost a lot.

Wimp.....

Here is what I looked like until I started back into heavy lifting 6' 195 lbs.  15 inch arms cold flexed.  I was pretty weak and lost a lot of weight because only 5 months after my back surgery I had to have my appendix removed, this put me behind another month and really messed with my lifting for a while.

Here I am 211 lbs with 16.75 inch arms cold flexed.  I am pretty happy with my gains, but I know I still have a lot of work to do.  I just hope my back is up to it!!!!

These were taken summer of 2002.  I am about 218 here

I am currently bulking and at 226 lbs.  I have 8 weeks left and will post pics as soon as I am done!

Here are the latest pics, from this summer (2003) I gained over 20 lbs.
