Hey everyone!

My name is Brad Borland. I have been competing for most of the past seven years in various natural organizations, but Musclemania has proven to be a leader in natural bodybuilding. As a lifetime natural athlete I feel it is the right direction bodybuilding is headed, as I try to recruit as many as I can to take the natural road to a better physique and to compete one day. I work as the Coordinator of Rec Services at Southeastern Louisiana University and am also as coordinator of Wellness and Personal Training and Programs where - I've had the pleasure to work with Carey Addison over the last few years. I am a member of the Air National Guard and proudly served in Afghanistan in 2003.

However, upon coming home from Afghanistan I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, an immune system cancer. My brother and father had the same type of cancer before, but I thought it would somehow skip me. I went through 8 1/2 months of chemotherapy. I lost over 30 pounds, a little hair, and a lot of energy. I would not have done as well as I have if it was not for all of my family and friends checking up on me from time to time and keeping good company. Most of all my girlfriend Brooke was there by my side the entire
time. Thank you baby! And also thank you to all that wrote to me or called, it was much appreciated and worth it.

Currently I have been finished with chemotherapy for almost four months, have gone from 198 lbs to 230 lbs, and have all of my energy back! I train very basically training everything twice per week with Sundays off (the old Arnold way) use a moderate number of sets and low reps. I eat a very traditional bodybuilding diet full of whole grains, potatoes, pasta, fruits, vegetables, oatmeal, chicken, beef, eggs, some healthy fats, protein powder, creatine, and multivitamins. I am very excited and motivated to compete very soon possibly in the Musclemania Superbody coming up this June in Miami Beach.

Take care of yourselves,
Brad
