"Gain mass for next competition"

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Rusty
Sex: Male
Age:
Location: Seattle, Washington, United States
Occupation: IT professional/bodybuilder/model
Personal Website: http://profiles.aim.com/bodybuildseattle
Gym: Gold's Gym
Gym Location: Kirkland, WA
When I Started: Jun, 1999
How I Started: After losing about 50 pounds of weight, and spending years of being very slim (125 pounds), I decided to try to add muscular mass.
Why I Love It: I enjoy the challenge of pushing myself. Enjoy the feeling of the pump, of growing, of creating a new body. Doing bodybuilding right means you focus on you, and no one else's, routine. Focus on what improves you, not someone else. Leave the ego at the door. I find the option on a bodyspace page to record the amount of weight one can bench, squat, etc., as counter to the true goal. A judge at a competition doesn't see those numbers, doesn't see the body fat percentage. The judge sees on stage the results of a competitor's work, how close to the "ideal" of the day. Focus more on the pump in the gym and the reflection in a mirror than the numbers you record.
How I Stay Motivated: I look at the images of the current and future pro competitors. Dreaming to look as they do isn't my goal: my goal is to BE them the best I can be.
BB Accomplishments: I'll list accomplishments when I'm given a definitive definition of "bodybuilding." Is competing a requirement? Or just changing your body and lifstyle?

I'm successful in bodybuilding because I focus on it for myself. I've done pre-contest dieting and training; I survived the 16 weeks and felt I had made the change.
Forum Signature: Squat deep, press heavy, row wide, flex it, then hit the showers.

Why I like this video: Video of bulgarian pro Hristomir Hristov. It's posing in a non-competitive environment, being a good example of doing a routine in front of an active audience, getting the audience involved, and playing to the audience.

Why I like this video: UK bodybuilder James "Flex" Lewis, who is one of my favorites as we are the same height and weight.

Why I like this video: It is Jean-Pierre Fux off-season. Just nice to see the real mass that a bodybuilder has to maintain off-season. The general impression is that pros are always shredded. This gives a better impression of how it is really.

Hey thanks for the add and the comment. - Did you see my measurements (on my bodyspace or blog). Was wondering what you thought about those. Is it in line with what people in my weight range compete as? I'm 162 (trying to get to 165 right now) but I can lose the weight pretty easy.

Thank you for your compliment sir. I'm not trying to rush anything competing wise. I don't personally think certain parts of my body are ready to give it a honest shot. But i'm working hard. In the next few years for sure i'm hoping. How is your conditioning going for the E.C.?
