lift heavy son!

 

Hey your a firemen? I want to do that so bad. I am in college for Criminal Justice and History, I'm a double major, but I wanna be a firemen pretty bad. . . . . And yes I'm going to stay lifting heavy lol

 

Shitttttttt I haven't been in a gym for a month because I broke my collar bone I need to do something to stay active, not doing anything is getting to me!

 

have you looked into volunteering?




i got me a tractor tire i cant wait for it to dry so the land lord wont kill me

 

The city I live in doesn't do volunteer. Theres a civil service exam for fire coming up in April. I'm going to take it. I graduate in May. . . Thinking about just doing EMT training or something to get some experience as a first responder, maybe that will help with getting into a fire department. Do you have any other suggestions, like possible training or experience, that could help me get into a fire department?

 

im a volly right now, trying to get on paid, biggest thing ive heard that helps is education and your EMT

 

Anything in particular for education? or just having a degree in general? I think I'm going to register for EMT training as soon as I graduate in May. . Good luck with getting paid for it, I hope that works out for you.

 

ever thought about joining the military? i think the army and air force still offer enlisted fire protection jobs.

 

Yes, I have thought about it. When I graduated high school I was in really good shape and almost did it. I live a mile away from Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, MA. . . But I was dumb I HAD a girlfriend that didn't want me to go into the military so I took the college route. . Then we broke up, and I got another girlfriend, started working a night shift, started college full time and got fat again. . If I get myself into the shape I want to be in by my college graduation this coming May I might enlist. . But only if I can get the job I want, which would be fire protection or something mechanical. I remember even back when I was thinking about joining three/four years ago Westover didn't have many openings, mostly loading cargo on the C5;s that are based there and junk.

hello guys - checking in. i finished my PH cycle on the 15th. i took this photo yesterday at 207 lbs.

 

i dislike having arguments over supplements with people who are all
"Well, I believe ____ Because he's big and built up, so he must know what he's doing"

 

his nasal cavity burst

 

62 years old, both knees scoped X 2, need a replacement on the left one so running is out.

Used to power lift- have a torn rotator cuff and arthritis in most joints.

Now, alternate between machines (nothing over about 220 lbs), an elliptical machine for cardio, and walking when weather is good.

Could stand to lose about 30 pounds, but feel pretty good, all things considered. Spent 36 years as a Cop, only seriously injured once, retired from the military, active duty during 2 wars- never hurt, thank God.
