My motivation was I wanted to look like my favorite super heroes when I was a kid. Pretty cheesy, but that is what got me started.

The biggest mistake I see people make is they are not on the right program. You should be circuit training and performing cardio 4-6 days a week (depending on time).

Your body considers alcohol a toxin and will basically stop trying to digest food you ate to get rid of the alcohol and this can cause the food you ate throughout the day to be stored as fat.

Try to stick to free weights as much as possible as they work the stabilizers as well as the main muscles being targeted!

Having a CORE main focus is the key to being able to stay determined. Most people only set small goals and when they accomplish them... it's hard to stay on track as they are not trying to achieve anything else.

Most people are just fat and because most bodybuilders juice, they can get away with eating what they want and just monitoring calories. It's a horrible misconception and often sends people down a path of fat gain that might ruin their motivation and drive. Fat cells never go away once created.

My favorite muscle to train is TRICEPS! Always has been my stongest muscle group as well.
