When I Started:
Feb, 2006
How I Started:
I decided it was time to make a change in my life. I was always skinny & not very athletic growing up. When I graduated high school, I weighed somewhere aroud 130 lbs. at 5'9". I eventually got up to about 135. A few years ago, I lost a lot of weight due to some extra-curricular activities... I'm not sure what my lowest weight was, but I'm sure it was below 115 lbs. After turning some things around & getting rid of one particularly powerful addiction, I started gaining weight again -- simply from eating regularly. It was then that I joined the gym. Worked with a personal trainer for the first couple of months to get a basic understanding of equipment and exercise. Fell in love with lifting! Plan on doing it as long as I'm physically able!
Why I Love It:
Bodybuilding is an outlet for me -- I get to watch my body change & grow while relieving stress. I feel better & look better!
How I Stay Motivated:
Watching someone make a change for the good in their life motivates me to continue! It reminds me of why I started in the first place. Seeing progress is a huge motivator. People on bb.com and work out buds can be great motivation.
BB Accomplishments:
Going from 140lbs and 14%bf to 155lbs and 8%bf in a year... I think that should count. :)
To bulk up as much as possible through the fall and winter.
Goal (Long):
I need to see results. I'm pushing myself to see change. I'm eating better and eating more. I'm lifting heavier, never missing a day at the gym, and getting good rest. My goal is to gain some solid muscle, naturally. Generally speaking, I don't want to be big. However, relatively speaking, I want to be big for me -- I don't know how much I need to gain, but I know how I want to look. I'm thinking I need to gain about 20 lbs to see what I'm looking for. I'M READY TO GROW!
This guy is one of the most good hearted people I know -- honest & hard working! He's always able to give sound advice and is steadily working towards his own goals. Plus, pimpin' ain't easy!
The Monkey Boy DEFINITELY inspires me. I feel like we share some similarities & it's helpful to know that I'm not alone. He is dedicated and steadily hard at work to achieve his goals. All you have to do is check out his progress pics to see that he has made great gains & continues to do so! On top of it, he's hilarious! Just watch out cuz nobody likes to be monkey slapped... ;)
So my goal for the past 4 months or so has been to gain 15 lbs of lean muscle and get down to 8% body fat. My body fat has been listed as 12% because that's what it was last time I checked, but it's been quite a while since then. I recently purchased bf callipers (?) with a built in...
Chest/shoulders..yikes! How do you do bth in the same workout? Yeah I gotta work this weekend too...Sunday. Havent seen Star Trek. Watchmen came out a few days ago as well. I want to see that one too.
Thanks bruh...The workouts are solid. I'm probably butting on a 1/2 a pound a week. Pickup 3 lbs so far...trying to get to 170. 7 more pounds to go. Just hitting the weights hard. You're loooking solid too bro. keep it going.
Swimming is the best..total body. I started to do cardio again but just like 3x/week for like 30 min..mainly just felt like something was missing. Routine didnt feel complete. How much size/weight are you looking to put on till spring?
same here. not sure how long to bulk for. Im enjoying the gains..and the legs and butt are growing! haha. but calves arent growing fast enough. im not giving up.
I feel like once I achieve my 20" arms they will be the foundation in which I work around. I mean I am working all major muscle groups now. But I will focus more on those muscle groups once my arms get to the size I want. Right now main goal is 210 then cut. half year goal is to attain the 20" guns. Getting big arms is hard work. Chest and shoulders come natural for me. I work them for 2 hours and they results are solid.
