"To be stronger, faster, and more shredded than ever before."

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Ian Ballard
Sex: Male
Age: 21
Location:
Occupation: Student
Personal Website:
Gym: MU Rec Center/YMCA
Gym Location: Miami Campus/Downtown Columbus
When I Started: Mar, 2000
How I Started: I was a chunky little kid, picked up running and dropped all the fat off. Then I spent a couple years rail thin before I realized that wasn't right for me either. So I started lifting, and loved it.
Why I Love It: When you're working out, nothing else really matters.
How I Stay Motivated: Perfection may never be attained, but that doesn't make the pursuit any less worthwhile.
BB Accomplishments: Last summer hit 30 pull-ups, 50 dips, 100 pushups, and a 5 k run with a 45 lb weight vest on.
Forum Signature: I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

Our only limitations are the ones we accept.

Seeing how much I can increase strength, endurance, and athletic performance while maintaining approximately 190 lbs and single digit bf.

Im afraid that it's been far too long since I've posted on here.  School, particularly finals this year, brutalized me, and while I didn't slack in my training, my journaling of it has been sorely lacking.

SO.  Some updates on what's been going on.  I finally hit 190 about 16 days ago,...


Current Supplements:
Supplement Direct AAKG Powder, 250 Grams
Started: Jan 06, 2007
Reason: It gives my lifts that extra edge.
SciFit Kre-Alkalyn Powder, 500 Grams
Started: Jan 06, 2007
Reason: To give my muscles an extra boost when bulking.
Optimum 100% Whey Protein, 5 Lbs., Extreme Milk Chocolate
Started: Mar 10, 2007
Reason: Same great balanced protein, new great taste.
