"Hit 200 solid lbs with a larger and more mature musculature."

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Russ
Sex: Male
Age: 33
Location: United States
Occupation: Engineer
Personal Website: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profi le.php?id=839934860
Gym: HealthTrax and at home
Gym Location: At work and in the basement of my home
When I Started: Jan, 1999
How I Started: Started lifting in college by enrolling in Weightlifting 101. Got tired of being tall and painfully thin. Didn't get serious about it as a lifestyle until I moved to Connecticut
Why I Love It: It's very fulfilling to challenge myself to improve and change how I look. On a fundamental level, the discipline extends to other aspects of my life. I like being about to feel resistance from weights and have my body overcome its limitations.
How I Stay Motivated: That's been and continues to be a struggle to remain motivated. Attending competitions and talking with the competitors has really bolstered my enthusiasm.
BB Accomplishments: Transforming my body from a 6'3-1/2" tall, 138 lbs person into a more muscular 184 lbs. I was at my heaviest at the end of May 2007, at 193 lbs. 200 lbs HERE I COME!
Forum Signature: "Those things which are precious are saved only by sacrifice."

How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?
8 to 12 reps per set, although I used to go much lower. The middle range of reps seems to stimulate more muscle growth in my body than the previous low range I was using of 4 to 7 reps.
- Updated Jun 18, 2008 8:29am

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
I rest about a minute between most sets as just enough to catch my breath and hit the weights, again. For more involved exercises like squats, I take about 2-3 minutes rest.
- Updated Jun 18, 2008 8:29am

What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
Ryan Reynolds' body represents an ideal for the male physique. He's not overly muscular, but is well developed and symmetrical. Chris Evans would be a similar body-type.

Hey how are you? Lifting has been going well, except for the nutrition which I'm trying to sneak in more calories everywhere I go, but still no luck. I've actually lost 3 pounds due to being on a diuretic (dr. prescribed). I see you're still gaining weight! its like they say, hard work pays off!

I am a member of God's Place International, a small pentecostal church in Camden Ar. I grew up, became born again in the baptist church though. What college is he at?

Yeah man, i wish there were other people who did what you guys did. We ask for some people from another organization to come help with the restoration of our church building. They never came and we had to do most of it ourselves and we were a really small congregation. Praise God for what you guys are doing because it's really needed.
