OK, I'm all moved and settled in here in Arizona. It's time for me to achieve my goals and compete.
Goal (Long):
New Goal:
I've gained a lot of muscle and some body fat with it. It's time for me to lean down and compete. I want to compete. I will compete after I move back to Indiana.
Old Goal:
It's easy for me to gain fat, but hard to gain muscle.It's particularly hard for me to gain muscle because I'm a vegetarian. I've been a vegetarian since the age of 7. I'm allergic to soy. So, I can't consume high amounts of soy or I will get sick. Also, I'm severely allergic to broccoli, cabbage, apples, greens, and most fruits and vegetables. I can't drink milk because it makes me sick to my stomach, but I can digest whey really easily and some milk containing products that have digestive enzymes like lactase added to them. So, you can probably see from the food restrictions that I have, that it's really hard for me to gain muscle.
I will attempt to gain as much muscle as possible while keeping my body fat percentage down as low as I can. Gaining muscle means that I will gain weight, and I think muscle is beautiful, empowering, and displays mental will power.
I know that anything is possible if I ask for it from God through Jesus Christ.

He is the ultimate model of what determination is. He looks awesome and is a wonderful person. Out of all the people on Bodyspace Vandamnwcbb motivates and inspires me the most. God bless him!! He Rocks and he is one tough guy.
OK, one of my new hobbies is searching on Craigs list and E-bay trying to find used gym equipment. Today I purchased this lat/cable machine for dirt cheap. It's a Parabody latmachine that has a low row. So, I can do my wide grip pull-downs, narrow grip pulldowns, low rows, triceps...
I have been doing Max OT training for the past few months. I'm changing things up by doing Russian Volume training along with steady state cardio and HITT cardio.
Thank you for the kind comment and thank you for accepting my friend invite. Much success to you in accomplishing all your health and fitness goals. Take care and have a great week.
I am doing good in the gym, thank you! It was a rough weekend emotionally but I am getting through it. Looks like the gym is treating you very well. Legs are looking GREAT!!! :)
I try to mix it up sometimes I do high rep light weight workouts and sometimes I do low rep heavy weight sets. Sometimes I just do the usual rep scheme of 6-8 sets at 12 or so reps. Just be consistent. I just started training my back about a year or so ago I used to hate doing back I dont hate it as much anymore.
How do you like Tucson?? I am thinking of moving there for work.I will be closer to Las Cruces, NM for my GF :).
Good luck on your goals and stay strong.
