    Thats a good question, i guess i really do not have a specific person in vivo, but i would always kind of aim for the pros, like my paisano from the old country Franco Columbo, or even Frank Zane or Arnie in their prime, just because their symmetry and aesthetics are outstanding. Hell, their bodies were beautiful. So i figure if i shoot for that, and come up a little short, i still looks awesome

    My Mommy..........cause she always told me one of the best things you could ever do was join the gym as soon as u turn 18................since i was like 13 years old............and she was one of the only women i've known who still sported abs @ the age of 38........just wish she was here to see the process i've made now..............
    Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, THAT IS STRENGTH

    First my major inspiration was Anders Magnusson(My wrestling coach when I wrestled, he was ranked second in the world in his weightclass in his prime, the most intense, bad ass person I ever meet. I have never had as much respect for anyone as him, the kind of guy that could make you go way above your limits, I cant count all the wrestling sessions that I feelt like collapsing and crying just because they where so intense and gruling, but one look from him and I worked harder).

    But then when I quit wrestling and started bodybuilding Arnold became my inspiration.

    But the last year or so I have been totaly uninspired and just drifting doing everything on routine.
    Now Im back on track again and all the inspiration I need is the drive I have to always become the best in everything I like!!!

    My wife and my two kids....I couldn't set around any longer and let them see me get fat as hell....5 yrs. ago I was 226 lbs. in a size 38 pants(now a size 32)...damn that shit sucked, still got a picture of my ol fat ass on the frig.

    Now I can face them and know that I bust my balls for the body I have now. Showing my wife and kids(well the older one) that u can chage if u work hard and dedicate yourself one can accomplish anything they set out to do.

    good inspiration.. thats the reason I started working out.. I wanted my son to look up to me... kinda like the whole "my dad can beat up your dad" thing... I guess he would anyway but when hes all " dad you look like that (ronnie)" hehe hits me right in the heart..

    Thanks bro.....just because the body is hard on the out side doesn't mean the inside can't be soft and warm hearted.

    Yea my boy saw your pics and said "maybe your legs will look like that one day dad." hehe

    ...instant classic bro, but as for the question..hmm...I've always been an Arnold fan. Arnold is the greatest, he was my inspiration to start pumping iron. My inspiration for martial arts would have to be Bruce Lee or Frank Dux.

    I have 2 inspirations, 1 is girls because I love the attention and 2 I made myself a promise when I got clean and sober that I was gonna look better then all the people I work with and graduated HS with. I have a mortal fear of being fat because I was a heavy kid and my parents are both heavy so it makes me work that much harder.... I look better at 26 than I did at 16 and I'm planning on looking even better at 36!!!
