I started working out to trim down after gaining weight in High School and the first couple years of college.
Why I Love It:
I believe personal growth is the most powerful journey one can embark on, and I'm always striving to improve myself--mind, body and spirit. There's no better way to know your full potential than when you, as a friend of mine says, "focus on staying close to your bones."
How I Stay Motivated:
Everyday I feel balanced and energized by working out and eating right. Every day is a step forward toward our own personal summits. It doesn't matter what path you're on, as long as you're working toward the top!
What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
I am focusing on high levels of quality protein, like from lean white meats, soy, whey, and eggs. To that, I focus on eating a large variety of fruits and vegetable.

Do you currently have a workout partner?
Yes
Why do you like having a workout partner? What are the benefits?
I like having someone to spot me on heavy lifts so I push to my max without fear of getting hurt. A partner also helps motivate me by comparison and support.
In starting to try to add muscle mass again in a 3000 cal/day bulk, I'm left wondering what the right approach is to reach the body I want. I'm already up a couple pounds after two weeks on this diet, and I am noticing that I'm looking heavier in the mirror. Good, because I'm going in the...
Thanks mate and trying to finish off 2009 on a high. The heat is great but the aircon has been struggling of late due to the ongoing 110+ temps and sleep is getting a bit of an issue haha. How's the training coming along?
Use to be really into mountain bike riding and looking to fire up again. Weights and boxing are the main priorties. Use to kayak and do rowing as well. Would love to get back into kayaking one day. Hiking in the US wilderness would be awesome fun..except the bears - do you see many of them round? When I use to ride, heaps of 'roos but they run away from people.
Great news and you got to be happy with 10lbs! I am back on full boost after a period of injury and have set a 11lbs clean bulk goal. 1st week in and totally amped. It must be getting hell cold in the US - we are finally coming into some hot weather in Aus :) Btw, do you mountain bike as well or focus solely on hiking?
