I started working out on my own once I found an exercise room in my dorm at college. When I started to play lacrosse, I quickly learned that the best players are either big or fast. I was neither, and started to go to my school's gym to remedy that. Now, I feel off if I miss the gym in a week... I might be an addict.
Why I Love It:
There is something really calming about it, and it teaches you a discipline and patience. Otherwise, you can't accomplish your goals. Plus, there is nothing more confidence-boosting than having someone ask you, "Have you been working out? You look good."
I started working out seriously in late 2003/early 2004 to get in shape for lacrosse. At the time, I weighed 135 pounds. Back then, even gaining the 35 pounds seemed to be a wild fantasy. Now that I'm here, I want more! Who wouldn't?? The goal is to get to the mythical 180-pound mark... and see where I want to go from there.
Do you track your workouts (exercises, weight, reps, etc.)?
Yes
If so, how do you do it? Workout log, software program, etc.? Why do you do it this way?
I carry a notebook with me and write everything down. This way I can always tell right away whether or not I'm progressing. Always be progressing! More reps, higher weight, something!

Where do you mainly workout?
Gym
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
This was a good week for me. I hit a bunch of PRs in the gym and reached 173 on my quest to 180 - more than I've ever weighed before. Period. (You can follow along here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread .php?t=115992221)
I also got some really good comments this week. I've been getting...
stocking up on supplements. big training 8 week program startin.
on leg days throwin 30s sprints on a treadmill 8 sets. 1min rest before each sprint.
whats up with you.
After 7 months your body has changed BIG time. for a nice V shape back try doing 6 sets 10reps or failure of pull ups with 2:30s rest betweens sets. to start your back work out
