What other hobbies do you do besides prepping for your contest?

stayfit2008 · 12-05-2008, 11:26 AM

I thought it would be neat to see another dimension us BB's beyond the ever consuming preparation of Bodybuilding.

Though I'm only trying to get into contest shape and not actually prep for a specific contest. I partake in some pretty intense fire fights via Call of Duty on Xbox 360! Other than that I train Baristas to run coffee shops and make drinks, but that's my job.

I like to dabble a bit in doodles,..here are a few:

critiques welcome

FanSuperman_OLD · 12-05-2008, 02:29 PM

The artwork is Very Impressive. I couldn't so much as drawing a stick person. I myself am 6 months out from my first figure competition so I'm still figuring out what I should be doing. BUT, I love my drums and I like old hot rods, going to car shows.

Wranglers are badass! I am currently looking to buy one soon. Hopefully 02-06 already lifted and taken care of.

I put a 4" suspension lift and 1" body lift, ran 33" MTR's

I always loved the TJ's,..aspecially the Saharas. One thing tho David,..look for a Dana 44 axle in the rear. The lift is great and all but you want an axle that can handle the extra weight,..If you choose to get one contact me,..I know them like the back of my hand!!

AustrianOakJr · 12-05-2008, 06:22 PM

Nice, Chris! That Wrangler is awesome!

Im a big car nut too. Almost as obsessive compulsive in this area as bodybuilding.....although during prep, my car projects came to a screeching hault. I used to have a 91 YJ....it was a major P.O.S. and I just used to wheel with it and pound the tar out of it. I sold that to buy my first waste veggie oil conversion project and since then I have had a bunch of veggie oil burners.

These are a couple of my current projects. The GTO is one that ive owned since I was a young kid and my Dad and I restored it....frame off...everything.

.
This is the one I am currently working on....im into 80's turbo Chryslers. This is an 89 Shelby CSX. Its one of 500 ever built. Its built to the hill....over 400HP and runs 11's at the track.

well when i'm not doing grad school stuff, writing articles, filming, lifting, or prepping other people I basically just spend time with isabel. but if I have more time outside of that... very rare. I love dabbling in MMA training. so much fun and very challenging. Also love me some Halo 2 on the PC

Lexodus · 12-06-2008, 03:55 PM

I got into Halo2 on the Xbox. I loved that game....almost a little too much. I went and bought the 360 just to play Halo 3 and now....eh....I rarely play it. It's just not the same.

Jaredia123 · 12-06-2008, 05:57 PM

I used to play guitar for a couple of bands when I lived in Chicago. Now I play drums and guitar at church.
I also do a mean impersonation of "Hank Hill" lol

Jaredia123 · 12-06-2008, 06:01 PM

here's a pic of me with my Gibson Les Paul custom and Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier half. ahhh...the good ole' rock days. lol
I'm on the left.

Cape1 · 12-07-2008, 05:46 AM

Thanks. Lots of hours there. I pretty much spent half of my teenage yrs working on that thing. Now, it sits in my garage and comes out on nice days. I tinker with it only when it needs something.

Quelly · 12-07-2008, 01:40 PM

I read a lot, hang out with my wife and watch netflix movies...we like to find good hbo and showtimes series and watch them...I also occasionally will play some RPGs on the PC or some 1st person shooters on x box. And I get together and just chill with my friends on a regular basis....movie nights, UFC nights etc. Also get together with some of my family and high school buddies and play basketball or football

**ctgblue** · 12-07-2008, 03:43 PM

guitar, not enough lately, but that's my other big passion

FATHER FLEX · 12-07-2008, 07:18 PM

Family and friends! Reading the stuff I want to read, not what school gives me. Watching football, movies, doing NOTHING with your significant other other than enjoying each others company. I also want to join a Track and Field Club this spring.

Oh and lagomorphs! :d I'll leave it at that!

fltallpaul · 12-08-2008, 07:14 AM

I play guitar and sing...and have been known to perform at local bars. Guitar is a great downtime from lifting...I can pick it up anytime and enjoy some songs.

I used to play around Houston a bit, I always wanted to get a dual rectifier but I could never afford it. I did get a nice Mesa cab though with a Peavey 5150 head.

I am not even sure he really plays guitar...just charges people for pics. I would kill him in a posedown too...although he may beat me when it comes to stage pressence...white posing trunks deserve much respect...
