CutAndJacked.com Interview:

Spencer Stamey

Do you remember the first time you
picked up a dumbbell?

The first time I picked up a dumbbell was when was about 9 years old in my dads shop...thinking to myself I want to be superman lol. I never picked weights back up till I entered the USMC in 2007.

What mistakes did you make as a newbie?

I wanted to look so good I would over train consistently.

How do you manage to stay motivated and consistent?

By watching guys 200lbs plus and thinking to myself... I put up THAT same weight,... I love it. It’s an addiction to self-dedication to try and make your body perfect. As well as watching the body progress into becoming flawless.
