"500lbs - Deadlift 300lbs + - Bench Press 400lbs + - Squat"

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Thurman
Sex: Male
Age: 31
Location: Iraq
Occupation: Army Officer
Personal Website: http://N/A
Gym: Army
Gym Location: Army Base
When I Started: Feb, 2000
How I Started: I've been messing around in the gym since I was a child. My father was an amateur bodybuilder, so we had a home gym. After years of working out and seeing no results, I finally witnessed a breakthrough during my senior year in college. Since then, I've been hittin' the weights a bit more regularly.
Why I Love It: Obviously, I like the aesthetic aspect of the sport; it feels good to look good. Additionally, I enjoy the challenge of piecing together a diet, the right supplements, and an appropriate training regimen to produce my desired results.
How I Stay Motivated: My motivation tends to be the vacations that I take. I LOVE hanging out at the beach, traveling, and meeting new people; and, I always have another vacation that I'm planning which serves as a motivation for me to stay in shape and look my best.
BB Accomplishments: I'm really pleased with my overall development. For a long time I felt rather discouraged because I couldn't see the results of my hard work in the gym. At 6'1", I found it TREMENDOUSLY difficult to put any NOTICEABLE size on my limbs; however, most recently, I've been able to fill the physique out a bit in pursuit of that amazing X-frame.

This pic was taken after 4-months of bulking. I'll post pics of my start point later. Surprisingly, I'm 221lbs. in this pic.  This pic was taken after two weeks of vacationing in Miami (hence, the tan). I dropped down to 220lbs.

This past week was TREMENDOUSLY challenging! The workload here in Iraq has begun picking up, with me working some pretty long days, and as much as I'd like to keep a "schedule", doing so is all but impossible!  At any rate, I was determined to get in ALL of my workouts.  So, even...

Man, something I've noticed is we're never at where we want to be. Eh, its a gift and a curse. We always want more. Its fun though. I know I always enjoy the pursuit of perfection. At any rate, whats your training routine looking like to get there?
