When I Started:
Jun, 2008
How I Started:
I have always been interested in fitness as a lifestyle.
Why I Love It:
I like taking care of my body. The benefits of weight training combined with proper diet and an active lifestyle are great. I love the feeling of euphoria after a good workout. It's like how Arnold described the pump.
How I Stay Motivated:
Watching the health and habits of society in general degrade rapidly is enough motivation in itself. However the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle are incredibly motivating.
BB Accomplishments:
None yet. I have a naturally low percentage of body fat. Now I just want to gain some lean muscle.

How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?
Right now doing Rippetoe's program it is set at 5 reps per set.
- Updated Dec 3, 2008 12:05pm

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
As long as I need to in order to complete the next set. Usually 2-3 minutes. If I am trying to set a personal record with squats or deadlifts, then I may wait up to 5 minutes between sets.

I took a week off, but I started back up again today.  I'm going to be doing a 5x5 routine and I'll post the details soon.
The gym was closing soon so I only had time for this:

Squats 5x5x135

Bench 5x5x135

18 varied grip pullups divided into two sets

I'm focusing on quality...

Sounds like a good workout. If you plateau in a few weeks and have to change things around, check out my workout description. You might want to try something similar. You're off to a great start and have good genes.
