Welcome to True Mirror Motivation!

You have arrived at a pure testimonial weight training, motivation, and nutrition blog designed to help anyone looking to get in shape or achieve better gains in the gym and ultimately live a healthier life.

I believe that the best motivation one can have comes from the reflection he/she sees in the mirror. You decide you need to make a change, or you accept yourself for what you are. Either way, you are what you are willing to be! If you are tired of what you see and want to make a change, then I hope to help you on your journey.


But before I get into any advice, let me introduce myself:

You can call me Grahamo and I am a graduate of Samford University
--No not Stanford-- I earned my degree in mass communications. Along my path, I decided to branch out and take many nutrition classes-- does this make me an expert in nutrition?-- NO! However, it has probably been the best decision I have ever made as far as my health is concerned. I always look back and think... "if only I would have known that years earlier"

I played Division I football and had quite a successful career playing center. I gave the ol' college combine try with the NFL. Had several successful tryouts with the AAFL --before it flopped like all start-up pro leagues---and turned down options to play Arena 2 ball in Huntsville and Birmingham to pursue my career in advertising.

So what does your has-been resume have to do with anything?
In short, I have been training the last 15 years of my life..I have been exposed to many knowledgeable strength trainers and picked up a thing or two over the years...

After football ended, I realized that carrying around 290 lbs would begin to be a burden on my well-being. So I decided to make a change--- I'm still on my journey but 40 lbs lighter as of today. Like I said earlier, I don't claim to be an expert.. just a guy who has achieved successful results through my knowledge... which I am here to share with you!!!

Enough about me----- I am looking forward to posting daily tips about weight training, nutrition, and motivation for anyone wishing to benefit!!

HAPPY TRAINING---- TIP #1 Soon to Come!!
