"The World is MINE"

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Don
Sex: Male
Age: 24
Location: Connecticut, United States
Occupation: Full Time Grad Student & Volunteer Firefighter
Personal Website: http://www.myspace.com/darknesss23
Gym: YMCA
Gym Location: YMCA
When I Started: Jan, 2001
How I Started: I've always played sport from basketball to little league baseball...I played sports in high school; soccer, basketball, baseball, and golf. I started lifting weights and playing pick up games of basketball in college to stay in shape. I started lifting more then playing ball. i incorporated speed rope into my training and noticed a significant difference in my agility and speed on the basketball court.
Why I Love It: I love pushing myself ...in the Gym at least...even when it feels like I've got nothing left, I know I've got more to give and I am going to keep on going. I love feeling sore in the morning, afternoon, and/or night. Working out is the only constant I have, the only thing that keeps me going that keeps me smiling, I know I've got a lot to learn but I'm always hungry for more, I'm addicted. I can't stop. I won't stop.
How I Stay Motivated: If I see or hear a worthy quote or song that in some way defines my goals or becomes a mental queue to allow for new ones, or if i happen to come up with one myself, I repeat it over and over and over again to keep my mind focused on what i'm doing.

ALSO...Now that I've been a member of the local YMCA for about a month and a half now...I find myself being some what of a mentor in the weight room. This is a "family establishment" so there are a lot of members here who are young and old whom are always looking to make a small change in their own routine. so they either take what they see from my routine OR go ahead and ask if I know something else they can do. This motivates me infinitely and even gives me a little extra pump for my own workouts.
BB Accomplishments: Finally Completed 110 lb DB bench press for 2 sets @ 6 reps each. Sadly...this is the heaviest of the DB set my gym has to offer...
Forum Signature: After the sacrifice and the sweat, the focus and the pain, a day of atonement shall arise upon the resurrection from my destruction. From frail to firm, Crude to Refined, vulnerable to impenetrable, I am...BOLD and New.

Sacrifice is...Giving up something you want for something you want more.

"When I'm Good....I'm Good. When I'm bad...I'm Better."

Goals:
Main Goal: Gain Muscle
Goal (Short): The World is MINE
Goal (Long): Gain strength and muscle mass, endurance, stamina, and lose fat. I want to be bigger(but not too big as i found out, its quite difficult for someone of my size to crawl through a tunnel with full fire gear and air pack), leaner, stronger, faster, all the things I would need to fight fires safely and successfully. SOFTBALL SEASON 2008!!!!!! Hopefully more home-runs in my future! Also looking to make some friends on here that can keep me motivated and keep me on track and see if i can return the favor.
Weight Goal: I want to GAIN 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal: 13%

Unfortunately I have to go to bed though. Should have been there a half hour ago. You are such a sweetie, though. I'm just having a sort of down day I guess. Unusual for me.
