Overall Goal:  I want to look good shirtless!

Fit Status:  First day back after a 1-1/2 weeks off due to vacation...feeling the soreness already

When I Started:
How I Started:
I was small boned and really skinny, about 135 lbs. Was a pretty successful distance swimmer and triathlete in college, but after graduation I wanted to gain some weight so I joined a local YMCA, got some great instruction, and was totally hooked after the first workout.
Why I Love It:
I love feeling my muscles burn and ache as I pound through set after set, and being totally pumped. I look forward to each workout, to setting new PR's and seeing and feeling my body get stronger.
How I Stay Motivated:
I look back to see how far I've come and look forward to see how far I can go.
BB Accomplishments:
Started lifting barely being able to bench 100 lbs. Old clothes that used to drape and flap over my frame like curtains in the wind, now fit nice and snug in all the right places :-)

What type of outfit do you usually wear when you workout? Why?
Shorts and a t-shirt or muscle shirt. I used to wear cotton but lately dri-fit material as it seems to wick better.
- Updated Mar 8, 2008 1:16pm

What is your favorite shoulder building exercise?
standing military presses
- Updated Mar 8, 2008 1:14pm

What back workout has worked best for you?
Deadlifts, T-bar rows, and weighted pullups. A back-intensive workout is really tough, but pays off.

Last week's failure led to this week's determination.  I was going to get to 20 no matter what.  OK, I cheated a bit, and backed the working weight down to 225.  But today, the glow of satisfaction can hardly be erased after I blasted out 20 reps in the squat rack.  The last 3 were killer,...

Hey amico. Ta for the comment! Feels great to have other people notice. Funny thing is, I actually weigh a lot less than before but look bigger. Funny how the world works these days. How you doing?

Hi Widebody, I have been training (again, after 20 years) since June 2003. I usually workout 5 days a week and rarely miss. (Although I am in process of moving now, so isn't correct at the moment.) Thanks for the comment.
