About weightlifter46
Name: Ron
Age: 47
Height: 5'8in.
Weight: 175
From: Pennsylvania
Marriage Status: Divorced
Main Goal: Finish powerlifting and get back into bodybuilding
Motivation: The mirror...never in shape or big enough.
Advice: Give 100% all the time!
I have been at this weightlifting lifestyle for a loooong time. I picked up my first weight when I was 6. Started working at my first gym at 18 years of age back in 1979. Back in 2004 I bought a run down gym and have been working it ever since. During the mid 80's I was active in powerlifting and was very blessed to be training with and friends with a world champion powerlifter. I learned a lot and did well....just got tired of all the young kids coming up and juicing to the max. You can't compete with that unless you want to go that route too. I switched to bodybuilding in '88 and '89 and tried a couple of bodybuilding shows. Did not have much in the way of drug tested competitions or organizations back then. I was pretty discouraged by the politics involved and the obvious favoritism shown. Not that I thought I should have won, but that certain guys got better treatment than the rest. I have been hitting it hard for a long time now and am hoping as a single dad that I can find time to get back into bodybuilding competition. Hopefully, one day soon I will have a lifting and life partner to share my time with.
