Overall Goal: Attempting to gain 10lbs of muscle by the end of March 2009. I have Cystic Fibrosis so gaining any kind of weight is a challenge, but this is one mountain I plan to climb. Wish me luck!

Between working full-time and taking 3 classes it's been tough getting to the gym on a regular basis.

High School:
When I Started:
Jan, 2007
How I Started:
I first learned the advantages of working out in 7th grade for football. 8th grade it became a little more experimenting, but once freshman year in high school hit I was lifting 3 days a week. Since high school I've taken the strength training routine and tried to transform it into more of a bodybuilding workout. Either way, you gotta do both to make maximal gains.
Why I Love It:
I've always been a big sports nut and to me working out just just another sport that I really enjoy. It helps keep me motivated to see others having success. It also helps me realize I can make it to the level that some people are achieving.
How I Stay Motivated:
Summer time is horrible for me with trying to get into the gym. I love getting outside and playing some golf and getting on the lake/river. Boating with family and friends is a new love of mine. Getting in the gym hardcore during the cold Minnesota months just helps the appearence.
BB Accomplishments:
No accomplishments. I do this because it is fun and I enjoy it. I don't ever plan to compete. I get the satisfaction of knowing I work hard to keep myself healthy.

barrett30changed Weight from 150 lbs. to 155 lbs., a 5 lb. gain in 340 days
Attempting to gain 10lbs of muscle by the end of March 2009. I have Cystic Fibrosis so gaining any kind of weight is a challenge, but this is one mountain I plan to climb. Wish me luck!
Goal (Long):
I joined bodyspace about a year ago but didn't really start looking at it more until the spring. I used it as a motivational tool to see how well others were doing and to educate myself in the forum. Since then I've definitely started my transformation. Thanks to everyone out there, I was able to put on 20lbs of muscle to go from 137 to 157. I am still closing on my goal to bench press 300 before the end of the year. I'm not sure if I'll make it, but I've got a little under two months to get there. Once this year comes to a close, I'll write up some more goals for 2008 and see what I can come up with. Good luck to everyone!
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 10 lb

If anyone has any advice for me on this I'd appreciate the help. Basically I have a really hard time gaining weight so I avoid "all" cardio. The only cardio I get in the gym is if I maybe give myself less rest between sets. I've already got a low bodyfat, but for some reason I'm...
thnx for the add and the comment bro, congrats on ur gains..you can achieve the look you want man..trust me..its been a tough battle..but i learned that bulking(getting fat) 1st made it alot easier than adding lean mass.
