Bee's Evolution!

Hello everyone! My name is Brandon, I have been on bodyspace for a while but really haven't tried to use it much until recently like today! LOL

A little about me:
I have been lifting for over 20 years and have been involved with the fitness industry for 15 years in one way or another. I have worked for almost every major fitness facilty name in the busniess, GOLD's Gym in OKC (no longer there), World Gym in Denver Colorado (also no longer there), 24 hour fitness , and many more. I have done sales, managed and Personal trained (which is my passion).

I have also worked for some big names in the supplement industry, the biggest being EAS in Golden Colorado. I was there back in the day when Bill took care of his employees before he sold it and things went to hell!
Now I'm Kind a rep for MET-RX, don't want to get myself in trouble thats why I say Kind a rep. Let me explain.

I just won the runner up spot in the $100,000 Met Rx challenge so I don't actually work for them but in a way I am endorsing their product! GO MET-RX! LOL

This last year has been a fantastic year for me in terms of gettin in shape. On top of winning 10,000 dollars I started competing again. I placed 9th out of 13 in the light heavy wt class at the Colorado state. It was my first show in 5 years and my lowest placing ever. That won't happen again! LOL
My wife also started competing and won her Ht. class at the Natural Colorado. She started working out 12 weeks before her show and looked amazing. She was never into the gym thing now I can't keep her out of the wt room.

SO now that I have done my bragging. This is where I will be logging my stats and workouts. I will start doing that Monday it's a perfect time because I am just getting back into DC after a 4 week layoff! Please feel free to make comments or even jump on my bodyspace and request me as a friend!

Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you on this forum. Wala I worked my butt off for the Met-Rx contest, and yes it sucked to think I didn't get the rest of MY 90,000 dollars! LOL However it was a great experience and the guy who won will be a great spokesperson!

bigbee101 · 11-28-2007, 09:11 AM

Feeling a little guilty today because I didn't workout last night! Or maybe it's regret because I'm still looking at legs today instead of thinking man I'm glad thats over! LOL Oh well, I'm going to hammer them today and start growing again. I'll up date later today!

Update

After legs I haven't been to the gym except to do one session of cardio. Weekend was a little crazy, I was test judging for the NPC at the Rocky Mountain! It was a great show and a lot of great physiques! A lot of inspiration there! Especially the wheelchair division!
