My name is Brian Yersky. I am a Team Met-Rx, NPC National Super-Heavyweight Competitor. I'm 5'10 and I'm 295 lbs during the off-season and 250 lbs when I compete. I'm just a small town country boy who appreciates the simple things in life. I love anything that has to do with being outdoors! When I'm not training, I'm hunting, camping, fishing or just relaxing with my wife, Jordan, and our 2 Labrador Retrievers. For more information about me, check out the entire site especially the members area and please contact me, byersky@roadrunner.com with questions and/or comments.  I hope you enjoy and thanks for the continued support!!

I got into bodybuilding; call it weight training at this point, early in junior high school. I'd call it that because we all know it starts with training only chest and arms. I just wanted to be the biggest kid in school, plain and simple. Training took precedence over sports. I was training during practice and even before games. My Junior and Senior years of high school I attended class at Youngstown State University and began training with the 1-AA National Football Champions.  Sports took a back seat to my training and I went from a 3-sport letterman to not playing anything my senior year.  As I got more educated in the sport of bodybuilding I began to train all muscle groups.

After I graduated high school I didn't play any college ball, I just continued to train, pretty much just for size and gaining weight. I trained with my high school football coach for 2+ years. We trained religiously every day, and by everyday, I seriously mean everyday, there wasn't a day we weren't training. I established a good base and gained about 45 pounds in that time, I was 20 yrs. old and weighing in at 215.

I left Brookfield, OH in 2002 with my wife, Jordan, to move to Columbus while she attended dental school at OSU. This is where the bodybuilding career began. I started training at World Gym and got more interested in competing as time went on and I met more people in the sport. I trained for the next 2 yrs. continuing to grow and weighing in at around 250. This is the point in which I began getting ready for a couple of shows in the spring of '05.
