    What's up, everyone?

    New to this site (and to bodybuilding, for that matter). Sad to say I'm 35 years old, but everyone starts sometime (some later than others).

    A little about me... Well, as I said, I'm 35. I've been pretty skinny all my life. Hell, I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2000 weighing 145 pounds at 6 feet tall. No matter what I did (mass gainers, protein, healthy diet, working out), I could not gain weight.

    Now I'm a healthy 203 pounds, but still lacking muscle in the right areas. I started working out March 1, 2013, and have gotten my arms from 12 inches to 13-1/4 inches using the usual OTC stuff (protein, BCAAs, glutamine, creatine, blah blah blah).

    I'm not looking to bulk up so much as I am to lose my midsection, love handles, and put on some nice lean muscle.

    Talking to a friend of mine at work, I wish I had started this process earlier (when you could still get good stuff at GNC, or from the little shops in Iraq and Kuwait). But I guess better late than never.

    Anyway, nice to meet you all and looking forward to any advice you may have.

    Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I've decided to go the opposite direction now and put a little mass on. Ideally, about 6 inches on my arms (up to around 19"-20" would be nice). See you all in the forums.

    austinite - GREAT avatar photo! Now that is some motivation to work out.
