After Basic Training I was weighing in at 160 lbs and not looking healthy, however I did lose my 180 lbs 36 inch waist frame. I met my first workout partner in basic and while stationed at Monterey, California I went from that 160 lbs frame to 195 at a 32 inch waist. I've been lifting ever since unless I'm injured (two shoulder injuries, still have yet to lift a full healthy year).
Why I Love It:
It gives me energy to get through the work days, it makes people look better and it's a confidence booster.
How I Stay Motivated:
Music, magazines, other people at the gym, seeing progress
My goal is to weigh 215 lbs while at 8 percent BF.
Goal (Long):
I just really believe that at my height with a weight of 215 lbs.of lean muscle would enable me to be my best looking, feeling, and overall shape b/c at 215 lbs. I can maintain an athletic build for sports.
Experience, I've just read a LOT about working out and with 3 years of experience I've gotten to see what gives me the best results. Some do a body part only once a week, doing 15 to 20 sets of it in a day. For me, law of diminishing returns comes into play after about set 10, so I do split days. Chest, tris and shoulders twice a week, Back, biceps and Abs twice a week and Legs twice a week, doing about 10 sets per muscle every time I lift.Experience, I've just read a LOT about working out and with 3 years of experience I've gotten to see what gives me the best results.

What is your favorite back building exercise?
Straight legged deadlifts, great for back thickness.
damn my body is nothing compared to yours! look at those abs! damn! if you can get those abs looking like that, i have no doubt you're whole body will be in great shape in no time! good luck!
