"To get rid of 10 stubborn pounds and lose the middle aged guy curse, the fat pad around the navel."

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Bob
Sex: Male
Age: 57
Location: Homestead, Pennsylvania, United States
Occupation: photographer
Personal Website: http://www.rpruschak.com
Gym: home
Gym Location: Munhall
When I Started: Jan, 2002
How I Started: In high school I had a growth spurt making me 6'1" and skinny as Ichabod Crane. I was very active though, I loved basketball, full field soccer and I was on the varsity swimming team. I used weights to try to gain weight, muscle and strength for sports. I've gone through different degrees of exercise over the years, but in 2003 I committed to losing weight, building muscle and functional strength. I've been on track since then. Besides the health benefits, it's helped with a back problem.
Why I Love It: I've come to enjoy working out. I have lost over 20 pounds, and a work related back problem has been much improved.
How I Stay Motivated: Seeing what I've been doing hasn't been a wasted effort. But I think the biggest benefit has been strengthening my back so I can do my work and things I love like hiking and nature photography. I look better. I feel better.
BB Accomplishments: Knocking off 23 pounds. Not only has it been beneficial body image wise, but my knees really appreciate it,

Goals:
Main Goal: Transform My Body
Goal (Short): To get rid of 10 stubborn pounds and lose the middle aged guy curse, the fat pad around the navel.
Goal (Long): I've been working to get a more classic build. One guy I'd love to be built like was Tony Sansone. I've given up on looking like Steve Reeves. I've been studying and using old training techniques. So functional stength, endurance, and a lean athletic build is more of what I'm after. I'm at 210-215 lbs now & want to get to 205. I want to lose the fat pad around my navel.
Weight Goal: I want to LOSE 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:

Before I go into what I'm presently doing I thought I'd put up an article from Dragondoor on ab work, especially the ab wheel.

I've used ab wheels off and on for about 12 years now. They have been around forever. I had one when I was in...

Thank you for your reply and for the kind words you said. A disability is difficult to deal with at the best of times and I am glad that you are working through yours and are challenging yourself to get better and better at this fitness thing. Believe in your own ability and push yourself to be the best that you can be, no more but no less. If I can be of assistance feel free to give me a yell. We can all use an extra person or two in our corner from time to time.

Hey, Bob - nice to have "met" you on the Beer thread. You're a photog - why no pic of yourself? Keep pumping!
