didnt do my fisrt cycle till my soph yr in college.i play outside linebacker here at my local univ.pretty much sucked competing against other guys at this level in football that had a huge advantage with as helpin em out.hit the gym hard..hit the track harder..first two cycles did wonders before before we started practice,started this last season..got plugged into bustin my ass in the gym, and with help from bros like on the board,got the help to establish the confidence i needed through hard work and some kick ass training partners at the gym.saw this board as a way to continue learning, and an oppurtuniity to give back to the bb community. its a way of life for me,and it fukkin rocks!
continue to kick azz bros, thx for sharin'. (:

I love the sport of bodybuilding and had gotten into at first just for impressions and girls. But now its become a much more significant part of my life. It is my addiction! I feel like I can never ever be big and ripped enough, like there is always some part of my body that I can improve on. And I just want to always be on the top of my game and be in the best shape i possibly can. To me, in bodybuilding i am constantly striving for perfection, but yet, deep down inside of me wishes I never reach it, because that would mean i am finished and then i would have to stop. I NEVER WANT TO STOP!!! I think I would be mentally sick and depressed if I did. I hope when i die they bury me in two caskets, with some free weights. Sounds fcukin crazy i know but hey, thats how i feel, Thanx for your time.

I started bodybuilding bc anyone can be a scrony guy with a sixpack, that isnt impressive, loookin like a abercrombie model pretty much equals being little, but being a big freak, thats hard, that takes effort and time, and love, and if you have it, you will get there and if not, then you wont. i love the hard part of it, the part that not everyone can do, thats why i decided to become a BBer

Also
Pin pulls -- knee level -- 515x8
Chain-suspended GM 42" 615 at lockout (2 greens + 2 blues)

Total of 5 cycles. One competition. Eight years total training. I am positive I could give a try for the APA state record in the squat if not for school taking up so much time.

I have actually stopped working out for the second half of last semester, and all of this semester so far. I only lift on weekends in my home gym (if I go home) and do AR here and there. My school "fitness center" and "gym" are pathetic excuses for training facilities. I cannot do any BB benching of any sort in the pseudo-rack setup they have.

I came to the realization that being in constant pain and not having maximum time for my studies was not a bright idea, at least in this phase of my life. I am only an undergraduate once, but I have the rest of my life to train.

I suppose I *could* go back to doing that bodybuilder/hypertrophy thing, but...... naaaaaahhh. I'm a powerlifter. I figure my body could use a break. I can tell my body is thanking me, too, especially my back.

Kind of nice... working out sporadically for the past 6 months (save the 3 week winter break where I hit the gym hard) has had little impact on my strength OR body composition. I have found diet to be of utmost importance when I don't work out consistantly. I think I see how some of the pro BBers can go for months without training now, and still compete in the Olympia.

Lesson learned: DIET IS KEY TO EVERYTHING .
I have no intent of going on a cycle again... though I very well may if I wish to break any PL records... however, I think I have mastered my body enough where I can do anything I need to through diet and excercise.

I can curl 165lb squat 345 8 times, leg press over 1000lb but i can only bench around 250-255ish. I dedicated an equal amount of time to all my body parts. My grip is strong and everything i just don't know wats goin on. I've tried dumbells and i can only put up like the 100s 5-6 times. I just don't know how to make my chest bigger. Help guys thanx

[Romac]

5'10" 34 years old - Currently cutting:
June 1st 2004 - 198lbs approx 20%BF :: June 15 2004 - 190lbs 16.7%BF :: July 1st?...stay tuned
Goal: 7% BF by Aug 1st 2004 (170lbs total body weight based on 158lbs LBM)

Update June 24th 2004: remeasured BF% @15.6 and LBM is now 159.6lbs - if i adjust my goals to maintain 7% BF my weight goal would be 171.6lbs

My goal of 7% bf by aug 1st is lofty to put it mildly...i have not been that low since i was 17 or so. Tomorrow i check my bf% and i've already lost another 4lbs since june 15th so i'm still on track. Just curious to see how much is fat and how much is LBM.

I have not seriously lifted for about 8 years but i'm getting too old to lay around. Age is gonna bite me in the ass if i don't stay active.

[BeefCakeStew]

Started lifting for football freshman year in high school. Didn't really get stronger that year because I wasn't too dedicated.

I was a fatter kid then, so they put me on the line. Had pschological weight issues and played around with my weight too much in highschool. Got mildly strong (315bench, 405squat, and 320cleans, 340jerk press), started line for a couple of StateChamp teams but dropped from 235 to 195lbs by my senior year.

Graduated and been working my A$$ off for 2 years but was trying to bulk and cut simultaneously (how stupid)--never got any stronger than highschool days, got a little more tone, looked less massive than highschool days because I dropped to really feebly skinny, 179lbs. That was six months ago, Im 20 now, and since I have Been reading religiously about BBing, I have drastically changed my diet, dropped the old Ftball routine and its taken about six dedicated bulking months to get to 202 naturally (look much smaller than 202 tho and went from 8% bf to about 16% so alot was fat, but trying to bulk seriously). Decided to jumpstart my new goals with AS 4 weeks ago and am up to 214lbs 15%bf--this stuff is fantastic. With what I know now and with what I am willing to learn, in a year or two or three I am going to make dramtic changes to my body. I keep getting more and more read up, especially about AS, thanks to yous bro and to this site. Im still a newbie but hope earn a home on AR after I can show (with time) that I am dedicated to lifting. Good posts bros.

I got into it after I tore my rotator in high school. Started to lift to help rebuild and strenghen the arm. I was a pitcher. But I got to liking the feeling I had and the gains I was seeing. I then seen on TV one night American Muscle Magazine being hosted by Mike Matarozzo. I was so impressed by this guy I wanted in. Be doing it ever since. That was in 1991.

Hey, man, I was in the same boat for a long time. My legs and arms were strong, but my chest (bench) seemed so weak. Do your declines, inclines, and experiment with dumbells instead of flat bars. Also, do pull-overs if you're not doing them. If you're going for strength, go heavy - but not enough to hurt yourself. Always have a spotter when going heavy. You're young, so I wouldn't worry about my chest being a little behind. Trust me, if you are dedicated and consistent with your workouts, it will catch up. For a long time my tris over-powered my pecs. You can tell that sort of thing after a few years of training, but now mine are very well balanced and compliment each other nicely, and I really notice it. The big thing is not to get discouraged.

It's the simple things that add to the over-all effect. I'm at a point now where my declines are stronger than my regular flat bench. I regularly use 315 for reps on flat and decline. (Now if my incline could match my decline... ) Don't forget that the thing with dumbells is that they require much more balance than the flat bar, so don't be discouraged when your dumbell presses are weak. I highly recommend doing dumbells along with the flat bar - for variation, but you have to use less weight than a flat bar, so don't get discouraged. It will probably hit more areas of your pecs (stabilizers, etc.) Other than that, eat right and eat a lot. It doesn't happen over-night.

liffting seriously since the age of 24. iwas doing some light work outs in the gym at my work, this new trainer came in and seen me pressing like 275 or somthing like that and said " dude look at the size of you! you should be pressin like 600 lbs. So he showed me the form of a powerlifter, my press went up like 60lbs of the snap and i was an addict after that. We trained together for a year, we followed Louie Simmons plan. got real strong but got hurt during squats. so no more powerliffting.

Ran one cycle of fina, made some good gains and am now about to run sustanon250,winny tabs
