"Keep getting bigger til I'm ready to diet for a show again."

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Ben
Sex: Male
Age: 22
Location: Pennsylvania, United States
Occupation: Student
Personal Website:
Gym: Volant Fitness
Gym Location: Downingtown
When I Started: Jan, 2003
How I Started: I was always very weak and skinny, I never cared much about it though. Then as I got older I noticed how much more respect, and attention big guys got. So I worked to build my body up and I just got addicted. I was always fascinated by more muscular and extremely lean physiques even at a very young age.
Why I Love It: It is just an amazing feeling, it makes me feel better, and its a great outlet. I don't know what I would do without the gym/bbing in my life, it has completely changed and improved my life.
How I Stay Motivated: Having that ideal image in my head and letting nothing get in my way of attaining it.
BB Accomplishments: Reaching my first goal of hitting 210 lbs, then my second of getting to 230. Getting on stage. Striated Glutes, getting very lean.

I was 175 here, I decided I wanted to be lean so this was after a cut for a couple weeks, when I got leaner I realized how small I really was and then the obsession began :)  After a 3 week mini cut. hah Don't mind the morning face
