Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Dave
Sex: Male
Age: 38
Location: Pennsylvania, United States
Occupation: Web Developer
Personal Website:
Gym: Schumo Center for Fitness and Well-Being
Gym Location: Reading, PA
When I Started: May, 1992
How I Started: I originally started working out in 1992 after a relative commented on how tight my pants were. Rest assured it was NOT from muscle! So I started hitting the weights and cardio with a vengeance.
Why I Love It: There really is no feeling like it when you hammer out those last few reps, swear you can't do another and then squeeze out a few more.

Of course I've never looked or felt better either and that may have a little something to do with it as well.
How I Stay Motivated: I visualize. I keep the me that I want to be in the back of my mind at all times and keep trying new things in my training routine to keep it anything but routine.
BB Accomplishments: - 405 on parallel barbell squats for reps
- 900lb on the leg press for reps
- 2 pull ups (I could do none previously)
Forum Signature: Proud member of Team Scivation

Front Double Biceps - 250lb. 243lbs / 16% bf
This was taken after 7 months of serious (to me) training which includes daily trips to the gym, cardio most days and weight training 3-4 days per week.  This was taken at the end of the first week of phase 2 of my tri-phase training program from Scivation. I'm definitely getting stronger and am seeing increases in muscle mass.

Goals:
Main Goal: Transform My Body
Goal (Short): I want to be lean and symmetrically swole.
Goal (Long): I've had problems with weight since I was in grade school. I started out skinny, but by the time I hit the 3rd grade I was a pudgeball. I stayed that way through most of school until I hit high school and slimmed down a bit. Then in my early 20s I blimped out again, was told about it and resigned to lose it and get in shape and I did. I stayed in shape until my late 20s when family and work didn't allow much workout time. I eventually stopped altogether. In the past few years, however, I've started hitting the gym again several nights a week. In the August of 2007 I something clicked and I really decided to make a life change. I have been going to the gym consistently 4-7 days a week and have really been trying to get out of self-defeating eating habits that got me fat in the first place. My goal is to have the body I've always wanted: clearly visible abs, significant, symmetrical, defined muscle mass, very low bodyfat.
Weight Goal: I want to LOSE 20 lb
Bodyfat Goal: 6%

How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?
It varies. I'm on a tri-phase program right now so the rep ranges are all over the place.
- Updated Jul 29, 2008 8:02am

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
Also depends on the workout and what I'm trying to achieve intensity-wise.

Yeah, the waist can be tough to tackle. And it all comes down to a low-fat diet, cardio and ab exercises..which one..that's the question. Seek and Ye Shall Find..Out. And you biceps are bumpin'.

Man you are too funny. Naw I wasn't getting on your biceps. I believe you're a fantastic fitness job. Lose the fat by a low fat diet and cardio..the usual.. Gain mass by lifting heavy weights and lots of protein. 3 months, tops!
