Favor Should Not Be A Mere Experience.

Favor should become your daily lifestyle. The Master Key To Perpetual Favor Is Continuous Adaption.
Adaption is not the denial of your difference. It's honoring the difference of others.
It is the mystery. It is the golden guarantee to the unending opening of doors.
The most successful people in the world are those who have mastered the Art of Adaption.
Adaption Is Your Willingness To Exit Your Present.



You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Anything is possible for someone who has faith. (Mark 9:23).

A Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step ♥ Excellence is not a destination... it is a continuous Journey that never ends ♥
We are all unique. We have the world menu in our hands to select and choose what we want to do. To elucidate our talents and expound our skills!
Assign A Priority To Each Hour of Your Day.
Our life is like a train on the Track to Success. Each day God gives us 24 golden box cars (hours) to load up. What we place in each box car, or hour, determines the speed and distance our train will move toward our next city of accomplishment. Make your life count today. Every hour is a Seed. You control The Harvest.



The Blind Folded Apple Trick at the end of this entree video, where I slice an Apple in half while Totally Blindfolded was a 1 take shot. It turned out pretty Awesome. Gotta love it for sure! Yea, I had A LOT more footage I wanted to use, but you can only cram so much Into a 1 minute or less video upload requirement. I had a Blast creating it though... and I hope to do it again soon
To Fight Another Day...You Must Survive.
Everyday is a new day... I am thankful for every breath I take ♥

NOTE: I used the footage from my MET-Rx 1 minute Warrior Workout video entree for the chance for a walk on role for the STARZ movie series Spartacus.
My weigh in for this video was @ 191.8 pounds.

Never give up on anything that you can't go a day without thinking about!B.B.com T-C. My Final Essay
Apr 2, 2011 5:21PM
I have come such a long way and have accomplished so much since joining BodyBuilding.com
on March 25th, of 2008. This was my 4th Transformation Challenge, and as
with many sports, I look forward to returning every year, stronger... and a little bit wiser. http://blog.bodybuilding.com/kevinma...p_on_anything/



As always, I was training very hard, and was also in my 4th Transformation Challenge too through Bodybuilding.com. I had 3 more weeks to go. I also created 2 more follow up videos and added music to them. This video to go along with my Spartacus entree, and another special video for the end of my Transformation Challenge as well. My final day was April 2nd, my late Grandma (Nana"s) Birthday. It was a special end to my Transformation Challenge and another chapter in my in my Ultimate Journey of Life.

You Can Do Anything You Set Your Mind Too.

Some really fantastic work has been seen in competition- big ups to everyone who finished!! Just uploaded the pics and I am currently crushing packages of Welch's fruit snacks and pop (feelsbad and goodman). Cheers to all.

Blog Post:
So I've just uploaded my "after" photos for the 2013 Dymatize challenge that I enlisted in back on January 27th, 2013. It's been 84 days since taking those before pics that I wasn't satisfied with. Working both an IT job during the day and a hospitality gig every weekend, I realized my physique was suffering and change was needed.

During this endeavour, I realized the important thing was to set some goals on what I wanted to accomplish and figure out a strategy to execute them. I decided my hectic schedule merited a somewhat tweaked Intermittent Fasting program. I would usually stick to eating within a 9.5 hour window while making sure to gets some protein in after late shifts on weekends. My diet was relatively high in fat and protein with moderation on carb intake during most days. I really tried to stay away from Pasta and shifted more towards getting my carbs from Oatmeal/Rice/Vegetables/Rye Bread (sometimes) etc.

I was training at the gym approximately 4-6 times a week depending how much time I could allocate. The important thing for me was to make sure I was working on both my cardio coupled with weight training during each session. There was serious emphasize on improving my core which in turn helped my lifts tremendously. I focused on improving the weak points on my body by concentrating on very clean form with low weight and higher rep ranges (12-15). I tried to keep time between sets low by resting for approximately 45 seconds-ish.

Overall I'm very happy with the results I've had during my participation in this competition. It was really a motivator in helping me get into a sold habit that I will continue to exercise-literally!.

Hi there Sandra... Yeah, Bodybuilding.com always has something good going on here for sure!!! I have completed 6 Transformation Challenges. Each one has been a positive and productive learning experience where I have slowly but steadily made overall Improvements in my overall health and well being. Since my last Challenge I have actually been able to gain some overall muscle mass size making Improvement with strength and size in my legs as well. That has been very difficult for me to achieve in the past due to fighting against physical set backs. However, I keep persevering and overcoming my obstacles and negative circumstances... No Matter What. I Never Give Up.
I love being challenged... To Me It Represents Opportunity. Recognizing the opportunity for Self Improvement... The Excitement of the Challenge.
Thankful for the Health and Fitness Benefits of looking and feeling good... and that alone is PRICELESS to me... and should be for Anyone. It does not matter either way to win or lose. It was, is, and always has been the Opportunity to do something Good for yourself. Your well being. To be able to help Inspire and encourage others is the ultimate reward for me. And in return, people that overcome there negative experiences help Inspire and Encourage me.

thanks for your motivational words! Congrats on having come so far.
The reason I want to join a challenge is to make the first step back into this lifestyle. Once I get started, it will be a lot easier. I feel I need this at the moment to get things going again. I fell off the wagon a long time ago and have been making excuses and vows to "start next week" ever since. Even though I didn't lift heavy back then because I had no idea that this was the way to go, I still felt so much better about myself and looked better when I still went to the gym on a regular basis. I need a competition to help me get back on track. It's sad that my own well-being isn't motivation enough but right now I have to admit that this is the case.
