^I'm not Prince, but I like the idea.
Would you care to be the unofficial first guest or participate in a practice run?
Uh thats a little unexpected so at this time I respectfully decline. If people actually want to know I'll fill it out curt. I was kinda meaning some of the interesting peeps here.
like me. since I am the most interesting man alive.
you betcha...
Sorry curt didnt mean it like that bro. I'd like to hear about Vic Heavy Built Dragon Weldingman and of coarse you Curt
1. What brought you to IM?
I was researching information about Marine Corps Recruit Training ,when I found a topic using google on the boards. I read the replies and they sounded very educated and respectful. I registered and met you noobies ,and here I am.
2. What is the focus of your training (powerlifting, Olympic lifting, bodybuilding, strength & general fitness, sport specific training, etc.)?
Strength and General Training. Specifically Endurance. Although it would be awesome to lift 400lbs, I would much rather lift 200lbs 20 times.
3. How long have you been training?
Only a year now, but I have learned so much I feel like I have been my entire life.
4. What's your primary motivation for hitting the gym?
Primary Motivation has to be when I moved in with a buddy from highschool, into our college dorm. Guys there were all ripped ,and so was my buddy. I decided I would change my entire appearance.
5. Do you participate on other boards? If so, how does IM compare to the other boards you may visit, favorably or unfavorably? Why?
I was on Anabolicminds.com for a long time ,but was banned (lmao) when some moderator and I had a disagreement. I thought I was right and so did he. He had a "Ban" button and I didn't. But overall this forum is alot better. The community here is alot better. The people are friendlier and the response to new guys regardless of how silly the questions are, is remarkable.
6. Is diet or meal planning part of your routine or lifestyle?
Yes, I feel like shanking myself with a spoon if I cross 2300 calories in a days time. Fitness/dieting/exercising is now a huge part of my life. Others now turn to me for guidance. And I do not look at it as dieting anymore. It's now part of my lifestyle. I just eat healthy foods.
7. What's your favorite food or "cheat meal"?
Although I believe "cheat meals" are for the weak, so I do not. BUT my favorite food is definitely pizza. I love dominoes with some ranch.
8. Outside of lifting and time spent online, what are some of your favorite activities?
I enjoy riding my street bike, buying and selling cars, GRILLING (I love grilling out), and I am a movie addict.
9. A/S/L? j/k... Do you have a favorite sports team or teams?
Indianapolis Colts (Peyton Manning is my idol), but as of the 2010 Draft, I will now be following the Denver Bronco's with my boy Tim Tebow.
10. Wendy's or McDonald's? Adidas or Nike? Coke or Pepsi? Keto or Carb Cycling?
Wendy's (Grilled Chicken Go-Wrap), Nikes (Shox), Keto (Go big or go home)
11. Anything you'd recommend (other than an "IM Member of the Month" interview) to improve the board?
Well one major think that I like Anabolicminds, was the fact that they had a "pics" sub-topic. I like comparing myselves to others, looking at what others have accomplished body wise, and seeing what I could be. (My gf though I was a little sugary always looking at pics of others ,but shit man. I like seeing what people earn on there cycles and so forth)..
12. Anabolics and PEDs, a) horrifying substances, b) misunderstood and sadly demonized drugs, or c) other? Explain or expand?
C) I have a very big opinion on the subject and could go on for days. But it would all boil down to the fact that I think roids or whatever it may be, should not be looked down on. I have said it before on these forums, and if your brave enough to take the risk to damage your body/life to increase a certain ability or just look like a beast then you should not be kept from that. If steroids were something you went to the doctor, had a physical to make sure you have no immediate problems that a steroid can't co exist with, and have taken a proper course/class to know what do while on them and learn all of there effects and then the doctor stuck you with some good tested juiced then the world would be a better place.
13. Goals in the gym and otherwise?
Endurance, toning, moderate strength for boot camp.
14. Achievements you'd like to share?
Quit smoking, drinking, partying, lying, cheating, stealing. (how about that for a trophy case)
15. Training partner, yes or no and why?
I don't anymore since college is over, but I did and it was good for when I wanted to lift heavy and safely..
16. Supplement user? If so, what brands?
Allthewhey (CLA), Nature Made (potassium pills, Spring Valley (Fish Oils), and Any brand whey. I try to stick with the good ones tho. None with the unnecessary shit.
17. Training philosophy? Reps, sets, exercises per body part, split?
I do high reps, medium weight, and a 3 day split. I have just moved it around to Legs/Back, Chest/Shoulders, and Arms. About 3 - 4 Exercises per body part.
18. Anyone here you'd like to see die in an explosion or perhaps eaten by pit bulls or pirhanas? Wait, I meant, "Anyone here whose posts you typically seek out (or avoid)?"
Naa, that one guy Suprfast kinda made me mad enough to e-slap his ass ,but I bit my tongue cause it wouldn't amount to anything except ppl calling me immature.
19. Working, in school, other? What have been some of your occupations?
Working on Dads fish farm, just finished second year of college, and occupations at work = daddy's bitch. I like sweat and helping my old man out. So i do what I can to show his mexicans who work for him they can't hang with a Marine Poolee.
20. Anything you'd like to share with your fellow board members?
Thanks for your advice over the last two months, and if you have any questions that I might be able to help with then shoot me a pm. Unless your bigger, stronger, prettier, or cooler than me. If thats so then fk you.
21. When do you ship out and what made you choose the Marines over God's Military Service, the United States Navy!!!!? (But I'm not biased.)
hahahaha, Man, I'm not one of those fellas who have DREAMED of becoming a Marine or anything like that. It was spur of the moment. To me the Marine Corps is the most Prestigous Branch. I love their traditions, their beliefs, and most of all the training. It's the longest boot camp, suppose to be the hardest, and I think i'll look good in dress blues..
