Members isvoid Posted July 26, 2011 Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 What say you fellow gym rats? Do you have a vision, a definitive goal? Or are you just going all out max, more of a "see what happens if I give it all I've got" mentality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OverDriven Posted July 26, 2011 Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 My definitive goal is 195-200 pounds (I'm 6'1") and around 7% body fat. Shooting for as perfect proportion as I can create and with good strength. At that point I'm going to just maintain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members savoldi Posted July 26, 2011 Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 I already exceeded my original goals. Now I'm maintaining and doing detail work as well as branching out a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members savoldi Posted July 26, 2011 Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 I don't want to look like a bodybuilder, I just want effective useful strength while being around 250-260 Bodybuilders do have effective useful strength. They use it for bodybuilding. You've still got the same mindset people had in the dark ages of muscle building, which is "What are those muscles good for?" They're good for being there and serving the purpose you want them to serve, just like the guy in the pictures you posted. He builds muscle to fight with, which is his primary thing. Bodybuilders build muscle to look the way they want to look. There's nothing wrong with either path, and one's no better than the other. To excel in either takes an enormous amount of dedication and drive, plus blood,sweat, and tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members isvoid Posted July 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 The beginning of march I was 205-210lbs, 38" jean size (the shame was palpable ). At 5'7" that ain't a pretty picture. GROSS. My rough goal was/is to drop down to about 170-175, 31-32 inch jean size, physique something like the heavy side of a middle weight fighter I guess. I'm currently 183, 33" jean size. I'm over 1/2 way there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty awesome. How long did it take to achieve your initial goals -- and how lofty were they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Say Ocean Posted July 26, 2011 Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 For me it's mainly strength and proportion. I've been building muscle to hold my joints together post-surgery and my end goal would be to put on more weight in a balanced fashion. I'm naturally at about 6 or 7% body fat so I'm not really focusing on fat-burning or being super cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zygoat Posted July 26, 2011 Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'm definitely not a body builder, but I'm into Crossfit and someone asked me the other day why I'm doing it or if I had certain goals in mind. Other than aiming to complete certain benchmark workouts faster than the last time I did them, my only goal is to remain fit and healthy for the rest of my life.

Members xcml5 Posted July 26, 2011 Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 Honestly, just have a lot of strength and good size with lean definition. Plus, the health factor is always important. I just like the feeling of accomplishing a workout too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretout Posted July 26, 2011 Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 My original goals were to bulk up for football in High School. I was a natural linebacker, but I needed to gain mass to hang with the bigger TEs out here. I was 6'3" and 140 lbs and over the course of a year, I bulked to 190 lbs. I originally took Creatine as my only supplement, but when wrestling season started up, it was all about cutting weight. There were 2 guys from a rival school that trained similar to me and my friends...Creatine to increase strength, and then running the mountains...in the summertime. Well, about 1 month into the season, the 2 rivals were running like they had and collapsed and died on the mountain. It was determined that the Creatine led to an increased heart, and this coupled with extreme heat and exertion led to heart attacks. They were 17. Since then, I haven't touched Creatine. After HS, I was known as "the big guy", so I felt obligated to continue to train. I've found a few tricks (other than steroids) to gain strength and mass, so I enlisted a personal trainer for about a month to "fine tune" my workouts, and have continued for the last 11 years. At my biggest/strongest, I was 6'3" and 268 pounds. I had the size I wanted, but I wanted definition, so 2 years ago decided to work on my stamina and get cut. Nowadays, I'm around 240-250 lbs, 7%-9% body fat, and I feel like I have a good balance of strength, stamina, and definition. True story: I was going to try out for the Arizona Cardinals a few years back, but I was injured in a severe car accident thats put that plan on hold... That's my story. YMMV...

That's why she won't cheat. I won't lie...95% of the reason I workout is for looks. I couldn't care that much less about the health, it's just a bonus.
