Overall Goal: I want to lower my BF% to a level fit for competitions but still safe for the body and eventually compete in some natural competitions starting in 2010.
Fit Status:
reading up on the Mentzer method, might give it a shot this winter.
My friend trained with a pro bodybuilder for years before I had met him. I had seen the progress he had made over the 3 years I'd known him and was inspired to do something equally impressive for myself.
Why I Love It:
I love working out because there were times before I started lifting when I'd be home feeling like I should be doing more with my life. I always felt like I was missing out on something. When I'm at the gym I feel like that's exactly where I should be.
How I Stay Motivated:
My family's health history helps a lot! My grandfather passed away from a heart attack when I was 9 months old, my grandmother passed away 3 years ago from a weak heart, my sister has had irregular heartbeats in the past, and my father recently had a stent inserted in an artery in his heart. We're not an overweight family, I just don't ever want to die, and since that's impossible I'd like to live as long and as healthy as my body will allow.
BB Accomplishments:
When I first started working out back in December '06 I couldn't even do 2 pullups of my own weight. After sticking with it, I can now do many sets with different styles. Competitions are in my future, I can smell it.

Goal (Long):
I want to stay healthy and live a happy life as long as my DNA and fate will allow. I want to continue being the positive-influence in the lives of so many friends and family of mine. Essentially, famous or not, I want to leave my mark on the world somehow, I yearn to be an individual in a sea of individuals.
What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
First I would like to go for a Brad Pitt in Fight Club, then when it comes time to bulk it up and take it to the next level...I'll get back to you with that.

Which pro bodybuilder/fitness/figure competitor has the ideal physique? Why?
I like the bodies of such bodybuilders as Victor Martinez (his size is awesome), I like the cuts of Kai Green, the stomach and chest of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and some others to be mentioned later.
Why I like this video: Makes all the work I'm putting into this sport worth it. Gives me the feeling inside that there's a reason for this journey.

Why I like this video: He is such a motivation to me, it really brings me down to know he's no longer with us. This video keeps his spirit alive for me.
So I am at work and can't seem to get last night's dream out of my mind. I was in a natural bodybuilding competition, my first one, and the judging went down in a desert. The podium with 1st/2nd/3rd place spots was right in the middle of nowhere. The names were called and I was one of them, got...
Hahaha, thanks man! I appreciate it. Everything is going great out here, just looking forward to EATIN up tomorrow!
Hope all is well with you dude, have a great Thanksgiving.

Thanks bro....always have hit the triceps hard...variations on dips, skull crushers, push downs, kick backs, and extensions. Keep it up man....looking good so far!
I like to make sludge with it---mix a scoop or two with some water (make a cake batter consistency) add a tablespoon of pb or almond butter and bluberries and put it in the freezer for 10-15 min. Delicious!
Hi Anthony.everything well.tomorrow I'll get back with my training after 5 weeks off because elbow inflammation.and U mate? are you working hard now?all the best with you.EROS
I do leglifts super set with reverse crunches, then weighted cable crunches standing superset with ball crunches, then cable twist with weight superset with weighted side bends. I do 4 sets of as many as i can for the first superset then I do 4 sets of 10-12 for the last two supersets. then every once in a while i will through in pilates or something. I only do abs once a week on an ab specific day.
Right now I am bulking so my diet is way above what it usually is. As far as my abs go I had no idea until this past year that they looked like that. Most fo my life I have been overweight and even obese. So good luck finding your abs this summer. Do you use weights when you do abs?
