My story is similar to many. When I was young I looked up to 3 people, Arnold, Sylvester and Jean Claude. These three possessed what I felt was the ideal physique for a man.
They provided the motivation, the rest has been trial and error and a lot of learning through books and great people.
Why I Love It:
I love the strength and confidence that comes with bodybuilding. In order to achieve great results you must apply great discipline.
You get what you put it. Be intense, be dedicated and go heavy or go home.
How I Stay Motivated:
My motivation comes from within. In our minds eye, we all have a specific mental image of ourselves we would like to see in the mirror. The closer the image in the mirror comes to matching the one in my minds eye, the greater the motivation.

-I believe in Jesus as I believe in the sun. Not because I see it but because through it, I see everything else.

What is your favorite "healthy" dessert? Give the recipe if applicable.
When I was cutting my favorite treat was a little Scivation creation called "Sludge". You combine one or two scoops of chocolate whey protein with two tbsp of peanut butter and add a little water or skim milk as you stir it together. You don't want too much liquid so it retains its "sludge" consistency. After mixed, set in the freezer about 15 min and enjoy, slowly.. ;-) You can also add glutamine or BCAA's for an extra kick.When I was cutting my favorite treat was a little Scivation creation called "Sludge".

Anyone who knows me knows I eat a lot of protein. In fact, right now my diet is 70% protein 30% fat. For those who are curious, I am on the C.H.A. diet (www.scivationbooks.com) For me, one of the easiest sources of protein to cook and consume is the incredible egg. I have always...
Hey, man.
I got to watch some of those Peek Pyramid videos. Of course the dudes in the video make me feel like a pipsqueak ;-] But the technique looked interesting.
So the point is that you start out with lighter weights and get a burn, then you increase weight aggressively while letting yourself do less weight. Do you think that pre-burns the muscle so that it has to work harder? It's opposite of what I normally do. Think I'll give it a shot.
Thanks!

1 lb. per week sounds like a perfect rate of weight gain. Nice job! Being lean is a lot of fun... But I have to admit I am loving the increase in strength and fullness as the calories are going up. Do you feel your BF% increased much?
