Those with lesser stamina will be left in his dust gasping for air. He doesn’t just take leisurely jaunts accross town, he can ride to another state with only his legs! Introducing the Iron Man, Lamont Doss in his own words.
Vitals
My name is Lamont and I’m transitioning my residence from San Antonio, TX to Charlotte, NC. I’m 38 years old and employed as a Network Engineer.
Tell us about your fitness routine including type, days per week, location, preferences etc.
Because of my work schedule, I only work out on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I have an alternating three day routine of Back/Chest, Legs, Shoulders/Arms. In the Spring and Summer months, I participate in a number of cycling events, so I’m trying to focus more on my legs during the off season.
Do you follow a particular nutrition plan?
This is an area where I really struggle. While I would love to verbosely describe my healthy eating habits, this is not my current reality. My nutrition plans are still a work in progress.
How long have you been active/following your nutrition plan/playing sports etc.?
I really got serious about having an active lifestyle about three years ago. I used to frequent the gym after work, and later, a colleague offered to teach me to play golf. From there, a couple of colleagues invited me to join them on a couple of 18 mile cycling rides, which grew into 25, 45, 60, then 100 mile events.
Do you have a success story/testimony relating to fitness, nutrition or your overall health?
Though my cholesterol levels are great, I still have issues with high blood pressure. That’s my next challenge, and necessary before I can claim success. In the interim, I can proudly say I’m physically stronger than I’ve ever been in life.
What motivates you to do what you do in terms of fitness and nutrition?
Stress, but mostly the release of it. Going through a divorce while taking on a new job was a bit of a load, so I used weightlifting as a way to purge frustration, stress, and anger. The redirection of bad energy helped me maintain my focus. Though I don’t have to deal with many of the aforementioned challenges anymore, I continue to find peace in my workout.
Do you have a personal motto/philosophy you’d wish to share?
Plan, achieve, and then excel.
Powered by Soul thanks Lamont for sharing the challenges and the triumphs of his fitness life. Hopefully this writer will be left in his dust in a road race this spring 🙂

Thanks.
Terrific job Lamont, keep up the good work. Excellent interview MsThorns. Both you and Lamont keep me inspired/motivated to keep going as far as exercise and getting health. When I’m lazy, I’ll I have to do is read your posts updates on G+ and that gets me going again. Matter of fact after taking a few days off for the Holidays, I start back on the grind tomorrow. #teamsexypants
