Overall Goal:  Be lean and gain muscle. Check out my routine at http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=115656641

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
Sex:
Male
Age:
36
Location:
Portland, Oregon, United States
Occupation:
IT Professional Sales
Personal Website:
Primary Gym:
College:
High School:
When I Started:
Jan, 2006
How I Started:
I started lifting in early in high school and continued through college while playing rugby. I primarily lifted for sport (and the ladies of course). Starting a family and a career threw many obstacles in my way; giving me plenty of reasons to make excuses for not getting into the gym.
Why I Love It:
I enjoy the fatigue from a great workout - it's relaxing and gives me a sense of accomplishment. I have an appreciation for a well developed physique knowing the work required to build and maintain one. The results you get from bodybuilding are hard-earned and rewarding.
How I Stay Motivated:
I haven't reached my goal(s) yet and that keeps me motivated to press on. And when I do reach my goal(s), there will be a new one to start working towards.
BB Accomplishments:
Changing my lifestyle to promote health and provide a positive influence to my children and friends. Reducing BF% from 24% to 10%. Increased strength and well being.
Forum Signature:
Luck has nothing to do with it. It's all about discipline, dedication and intensity. Hit it hard!

This is a photo that motivates me to get lean. I'm having a good time in Hawaii but vacation is over now. I weigh 220lbs with 23% bodyfat.

Goals:
Main Goal:
Transform My Body
Goal (Overall):
Be lean and gain muscle. Check out my routine at http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread .php?t=115656641
Goal (Long):
I love going to the gym - that's the easy part. I continue to work on developing the discipline to manage my diet so I don't hinder the progress I make in the gym. I'm driven to go and hit the iron but I have to motivate myself to control the diet 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. My goal is eat and train smarter so I can drop my bodyfat to 8% then build lean muscle mass while maintaining a 8-10% bodyfat average and look better in my 30s than I did in my 20s.
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
8%
