What drives you?

As a kid with bad skin and borderline freakish bubble butt resembling a pea glued midway on a toothpick: I learned to fight early.

We were not poor but my lesson in life to hustle was my clothes allowance of two pair a pants for the school year, nothing like a full blown ass in tight jeans as I out grew them every damn year.

My desire to shut up the bullies prompted Judo and Karate then training with weights to start and end fights with the Seniors when I was Freshman.

I also grew a FRO like a dirty Q-Tip.

The disciplines I learned in these three practices showed up in my work ethic and my morals.

To this day I'll knock a MFer out !!!

I never had to run and tell on people, I handled my shit on the spot, win or lose I ran my mouth and backed it up. At least back in the late 70's to early 90's guys would take their lessons.....now They start it They call the cops.

Now an Old Fart I still carry with me all my drives, even though they've changed form, the one that carried on is eating and training. Speaking my mind and NOT telling on people using that pathetic card of the modern day pussy.

My desire to simply (but so easily) look as good as last year at my age is my DRIVE.

What drives you and how did it start?
 
When I was 16 I went through a really rough break up with my first "real" gf. She was a total cunt about the whole situation and it left me crushed. I didn't know what to do with myself and my family could tell I was in a really bad place so my dad got me into lifting. He use to bodybuild when I was young so he showed me everything.

We went to the supplement store and I got started on protein, creatine, multivitamins, glutamine, and I think bcaa's. I remember it was a whole huge stack. I put on about 25lbs over the winter and I was hooked!! I've been going at it hard ever since.

My goal is to come back every summer bigger and looking better. The females have always loved it but to stay in it for the long run you've gotta be doing it for yourself. I constantly motivate and push myself to be better, especially with this aspect of my life.
 
My dad always taught me to take responsibility for my own actions no matter the outcome. Own what I did, own the words that came out of my mouth. Period.

This drives me today. I take responsibility for myself and my health.

I took an oath of marriage and did not take that oath lightly. I have a responsibility to be a loving, caring, good wife and I have a great marriage because of it.

I am responsible for the lives and well being of three little girls. I made a commitment as a mother to them and it is my job to raise them to be productive, independant, confident adults. If anyone threatens to hurt my family or I feel they are ever in danger, I have no problems going primal on their ass. I will die protecting them if I have too.
The drive for me to be strong and have a positive outlook on life is with the hopes that my husband and I are raising three girls into strong women.

Last, I am responsible for my own happiness and my future. It won't fall into my lap. I have to make it happen.

Knowing that life isnt certain, and the fact that growing up i was a chubby harry potter looking kid with the classic john lennon glasses. I learned to fight from my older brother and step-dad. In 3rd grade i got my ass straight kicked by a couple older kids in middle school, so once my brother found out about this he found the kids, beat that ass, and then came home told my step-dad and threw a pair of boxing gloves at me, the old-school light-weight ones, where you could feel knuckles and took me outside and then beat my ass for losing against those kids in school. From that point, I started playing football, and wrestling. Then in high-school played football and started lifting weights. Thanks to my brother for being such a hard-ass
 
Not being that fat kid anymore. Feeling active and having a better chance at nailing hot chicks definitely helps a man feel more worth.
 
Crazy Mike, you and I are a lot alike! I always say what's on my mind and never sugar coat anything. Always keeping it real.

I started martial arts when I was 6 do to medical reasons ans stuck with it my entire life.

Growing up I was your typical skinny white kid....bleached blonde hair, pale skin, and tons of frecals. I was tall and lanky and even though I was very strong in my teens, I was a bean pole.....could never gain weight.

I grew up in a Military style family, my father was a POW in Nam for a while and all though he is a great father....my childhood was a little rough, he was very distant for a while. We were not poor, but my father did'nt spoil us by any means. I learned a strong work ethic at a very young age, bailing hay, busheling apples, shagging 2x4's at my uncles construction site. I was raised with the mentality that if you want something, you work for it....if someone is better at something, then you work harder then them. It is a habit I caried through life and will pass on to my children.

To me, a big turning point was when I went to my 10 year highscholl reunion a few years ago......ran into a ton of people i hadn't seen since highschool and I was in a lot better shape then all the jocks who fucked with me in highschool and all the hot girls who would never give me the time of day back then were all30lbs over weight and couldn't stop stairing at me.

What drives me is to pass on what i've learned to my children and to spoil them with the things I never had, but to teach them to also be greatful for what they have.

My goal is also to stay in great health well into my senior years, i don't want to be that 50 yr old man who can't play a game of hoops with his teenage son because his gut gets in the way and he gets too winded.
 
A man is supposed to be a man...in my minds eye that includes some degree of strength and muscularity.

1n 1982 I was a long haired pot smokin punk...150 ish ???

In 1990 I was 205-220 ish..geared oughtta my mind...depending on what I had looking..power or physique contest.

I can take some shit and give some back...and my old career as a U.s. School Crossing Guard demanded both mental and physical proffeciency with hands, feet,strength, stamina and mental clarity, weaponary etc.

A buff fucker in body armour is a serious deterrent.

That was then.

Now..same gig, minus 1 eye and got a dead man s knee, just do it for a private company..gubment contract.

Vanity..of course.

I absolutely indescribely LOVE beautiful women with personalities of gold, buns of steel, ab s I can do my laundry on.

I ain t rich so this body and this brain is all I have to offer.

I m 20 pounds lighter than I was...but then...f it !
 
When I was in elementary and middle school, I was shorter than everyone (which is funny because now I am a little over average height), read a lot and was pretty much one of 4 white kids in my grade. Needless to say, we got picked on pretty bad. When I entered HS, I moved to San Diego and was popular all the sudden! I was tall and I guess better looking. I never wanted to be looked at again as the nerdy kid. So I strived to take care of myself and was very active. I was friends with everyone, with the geeks, nerds, jocks, skaters, surfers, whites, mexicans, blacks, goths... I mean EVERYONE! I stood up for the kids who got made fun of and for some reason people felt ashamed after I ripped them. Then again, because I was nice and stood up for everyone, a lot of people had my back.

So back then I did it out of vanity. Now I do it for health as well. I want to eat clean so my son sees a healthy lifestyle. I keep NO junk food in my kitchen. Snacks for him are carrot sticks, yogurt, fruit etc. He loves it! He asks me to make him salmon and spinach for dinner. So I feel like I am succeeding in that department.

I have now seen some of the people I went to JR High with that didn't give me the time of day or worse bullied me and a few turned into stalkers. I laugh to myself because these people had really made mine and mostly my sister's lives hell. Boy has it turned around.

The sweet smell of cooter in the morning drives me..................NUTS....I molest that shit on the spot.
