I finished the Muscle Building Program on here and am EXTREMELY grateful to Billy and the crew for helping me jump start my exercise program and muscle/strength gains. I started at around 158 lbs and ended at 170-175. Having said that, I want to make sure everyone realizes before they start this program that it is NOT intended for beginners. I'd been lifting for years, and there were times I had to walk out of the gym without finishing because my muscles were absolutely exhausted. But, I didn't give up, and at the end of the 4th week (the 12 weeks are broken up into 3 sets x 4 weeks), I could usually do the whole routine. If you're serious, please be patient with yourself and complete the strength foundation workout (http://www.realjock.com/workout/1054). The workouts for the muscle building program are BRUTAL and just get harder as you progress. 2-3 hours/day x 5 days/week. Don't start if you can't see it through. But, you can see what time and dedication can do.

I'm totally open to any questions about my experience, so ... feel free to message. :)

I'm just a guy interested in health. I did my undergrad in genetics and biochemistry at UW - Madison, so I love learning about nutrition, and I graduated as a doctor of chiropractic in December, so I'm pretty into exercise and being active. (And by "into," I mean, "what I plan on coaching people on for the rest of my life.")

I'm all about having fun, I like hanging out with friends, and I love to laugh. Nothing is better than being around people who know you, laughing so hard you can barely breathe.

If you're into the enneagram, I'm an 8 wing 7, sexual/social/self-preservation. If you're not into the enneagram, you should check it out. Very cool self-development tool, and I hate touchy-feely, new-age stuff.

Okay, so I have to say this: Please don't call me "stud." I seriously can not see that word without visualizing Olivia Newton John in black spandex. So, unless you want me to delete your message, please don't call me stud, or "hey sexy" or any other pick-up. I'm just a normal guy. Please talk to me like one.
- Second note: I have no idea why people INSIST on testing me with this. Not kidding. Going to delete your message. It's not cute. It just makes you look like you don't have anything thoughtful to say.

OKAY ... sorry. I'm usually way more light-hearted than that ... lol.

I'm looking for friends who are interested in health and having fun. I don't care if you're straight-acting or if your flame burns bright. Just be considerate of others, have some integrity, and have a good sense of humor. :)
