When I Started: Feb, 2007
How I Started: Was into Cross-Country and Basketball through school so weights were always around. I have been working very lightly for a year. Just got serious about it in January 07. Hope to keep the intensity
Why I Love It: The pump is great corsing through your fibers! I feel so much better if I get a consistent routine going
How I Stay Motivated: Seeing results keeps me motivated. I want to look good for my loving wife and for myself.
BB Accomplishments: Dropping from 193lbs to 160lbs. No pictures of the 193 pounder thankfully!

Goals:
Main Goal: Gain Muscle
Goal (Short): 15" arms complete! Time for some chest...
Goal (Long): All my life I have been a hard-gainer. I graduated high school and weighed 125 and was 6'0. Talk about skinny! I did gain some "healthy" weight to 150lbs. I've worked out off and on with not much determination. I began lifting in 06' for a few months and did a major bulk phase and jumped up to 193lbs. I was eating the wrong foods and not working out nearly enough. I begain studying eating clean in Jan and have slowly brought myself along. I want to drop body-fat, gain a 6-pack and build my biceps/triceps/shoulders.
Weight Goal: I want to GAIN 15 lb
Bodyfat Goal:

Well I was 3 weeks late of my goal. I had hit 14 7/8" at the goal date. Just couldn't squeeze it out. I've been on chest/shoulder workouts for 3 weeks now. I got a killer workout in with decline bench, chest fly's, pulldown's and seated rows. Got to my car with my arms pulsating. Right arm...

Hey Derek, yeah I haven't posted progress in a while. I'll see if I can get that done on Fri. I just crossed the half way mark and have finished week 8 out of 16.

Good job on reaching your goal. 15 from 12.75 is a lot to accomplish. Keep up the good work.

Nice gains. Keep at it. You're doing a great job. You have good arm and shoulder definition in your avatar pic. You'll surpass 15 and be pushing 20 before you know it.

Good to hear you almost made it. I checked my stats at the gym today. I'm up 1/2 an inch so my left arm is slightly over 15 and right is 14 3/4. (Without flexing) It's odd that my left is bigger since I'm a right handed.

Hey guy, how'd you do reaching your arm goal? I still haven't measured mine. I'll have to break down and ask for the trainers tape at the gym.

Hey thanks for posting on my blog, and good luck on reaching your goal of 15" arms. I haven't measured mine for a few months...now I'm wondering if my arms have grown. Keep up the good work.

Good luck with your bulking. Don't neglect the rest of your body for the sake of your arms. I have put on 2 inches on my arms in 3 months doing only compound exercises (Squat, Bench, Deads, Overhead press, Bent rows). Arms are looking good in your pics
