Back was acting up, so I took a couple weeks off. Its now been about two weeks since I started up again. Figured I'd go ahead and try to lean a bit since I couldnt lift (saturday was actually my first all out upper body workout in about a month, everything else was pretty light stuff.... and I still havent even tried squating!!!! I'm gonna die, my legs are shrinking!!!!) aqnyway, figured I would throw some pics up and tell t-bone hes a punk.

[DeusInvictus]

the pics are really washed out... but with a camera phone its the best i could do. really heard to see the definition with a flouresant lamp

[DeusInvictus]

[AirForceTACP]

Wow man.. you look exactly how I hope someday I can..

Keep up the hard work bro

[Hellmaskbanned]

Those cam phone pics don't do you justice.

For your height you don't look 233lbs.

But look very lean.

[DeusInvictus]

Hey I appreciate all the props. being 21 (b-day feb 18th) it definately is an encouragement. As far as not being 233; that weight can not be compared to contest weight where obviously there is no food or water in them when they weigh in. but 233-235 is where i usually stay and I have no reason to lie about that, so ya just gotta trust me.

[jbarkley]

Deus, You look fantastic...what are your plans for contest?

[DeusInvictus]

I dont think I'll ever compete, I'm going back up to my bible college in two weeks and they really dont have a gym. I'm thankful for what they have, but my faith is what comes first and I cant find the fellowship there anywhere else, lifting is secondary for me, even though I enjoy it very much. I'll do what I can but I'll probably never have the time to compete. bodybuilding is a life consuming sport, if your looking to compete. No plans as of now, but never say never, Right.

[DeusInvictus]

I hope nobody takes what I said as if you cant compete and pursue a relationship with god. I'm not saying that... Just that I wont have time at the college I'm going to(i'll be taking 20 credits a quarter[half a semester] and will have volunteer work on top of that). not to mention its in the middle of nowhere and I wont have a car. I wouldnt be able to drive to see a competition, let alone be in one.

Your choices are your own, this is your life and you are the one deciding what's good for you. I have always had an incredible connection to the lord and he has stood through cancer with me and brought me out the otherside! So I for one totally respect your decision, and I can tell you respect others to pursue their goals. You should be proud of that (I'm sure you are) and best of luck in whatever you pursue through the years.

Livestrong, Jeff

1st Cor. 10:31 "Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God"
Thanks alot Bro! Stay Strong!

[mousetraps]

i think he does look about 233 - good job man, what are you goals?

[DeusInvictus]

Thanks alot man. Right now, I really dont have much of a "goal" for weight lifting. I love to lift and do it because it takes care of HIS (Gods) body. Above all, I love how it helps motivate others to lift and live a healthy lifestyle. If it can help others then as a christian, I'm all for it. People always ask me "why?" and I love it because It gives me a excuse to tell them about a great friend of mine, who also happens to be my God-The true reason I even get out of bed in the morning, let alone lift. I know I'm going way over the top with this reply, but I just had some awesome time in the word and hey, Love will drive you to do some pretty crazy stuff. Anyway maybe one day I will compete, I dont know. Thanks Again.

Deus, you and I have a lot in common. I'm a youth minister at my church and I think the way you do. A lot of people consider it to be a bit odd, but being bold in today's world is a bit odd as well.

I used to share my weekly messages with the board, but I'm no longer allowed to do so as a result of board politics. Here's the link to several of them and I encourage you to check them out.
