Currently 5'10" 175 (had 2 viruses this winter). Might work my way back to 185-190..or not. I have been over 200 at 10%ish bf before and could hardly sleep and had little endurance for hiking which I do a lot. My obsession with being big is pretty much over although I do miss certain aspects of it. I do not however miss having to force myself to eat and having my arms go numb every night and flip-flopping all night trying to get comfortable.

If I worked a standard 9-5 in town job I would probably rely more on BBing as my sole hobby/athletic pursuit but outdoor work and recreation is more my cup of tea.

I have the same problem with my arms falling asleep at night. Do you know what this is caused from? I just assumed I had some slight nerve damage from heavy bench presses. I am 5'9 215.

5'10, currently 226lbs at 18% Bf.

WOULD LIKE TO BE 200lbs around 10% Bf, which I can only seem to obtain and hold during the summer season. I always bulk during the Fall and Spring Season.

I lift for aesthetics, but the longer I lift, the more weight I can put up, which in time, equates to greater size, unless I intentionally lift under my strength capability and I sure the f*** won't be doing that.

I don't think I strive for size per se, but when I'm pushing for excellence every-single-workout, size becomes part of the outcome.

But it could also have to do with my body type. I size up if I breath too much. I don't need to hyper calorie, I don't need to carb up, carb down, or eat insane amounts of protein. I just size up if I workout and eat like a civilian. It's the cutting that KILLS ME!!! I've only had abs once. Last summer was the first time and I WORKED MY @$$ OFF FOR IT!!!! I was 197lbs and clean as f***, but now I'm 226lbs, big as hell, but SO IS MU BELLYYYY!!!!

bastard.... hehe.

Sometimes I enjoy the size, sometimes I wished I could be that guy checking out my abs in the mirror, haha. I've actually long excepted my meso-endo bodytype. I used to be a hardcore cardio freak, while at the same time a lifting freak, so my body stayed right in the middle. I was 185lbs for yeeaaars. I had to FIGHT TO THE DEATH to keep my body from sizing up and I believed strongly that I would be able to lose bf while gaining only musculature, now I know that is possible, but I'm talking about for ME. I need diet O2 or I blow up and I'm sure I could attain that goal if I had a pre-show body builder diet. But I live a real life full of work, school, work, church, girlfriend. I can't eat a deck of cards servings worth of grilled chicken every 3 hours. Sooooo... I know for me I have to EITHER, be bulking, which is just normal life for me, or working hard to cut. Which only seems to be possible during the summer.

LITERALLY.... 80% of my clothes don't fit me right now, my arms and shoulders don't fit through my t's and last night I got STUCK in a button up I really hoped I could wear. Hopefully I'll get my clothes back during the summer.

I was 197lbs in the summer, which is the heaviest I get, I'm normally 185 so most of my clothes are meant for a 185lbs body. Here's a plug, but ever since I came to AM and learned about all the cool "REAL" supps, (I'm a recovering Muscletechaholic) I'm currently 226, no PH's, but everything else....

bkoguy07 · 01-29-2008, 12:55 PM

hahah yeah i can eat waht ever i want but never bulk up... but on the flip side i dont need cardio for a six pack... so idk i guess no one is perfect...haha

jbono731 · 01-29-2008, 01:03 PM

I am 6'1", and currently 252, I would like to be about 230. I have been mainly working on flexability, and endurance. Even When lifting heavy I dont go below 8 reps. I am not a powerlifter . . .even though I can lift like one haha

**SilentBob187** · 01-29-2008, 01:20 PM

5'11, currently 190lb at about 15%bf
ideally, 225lb hovering at 10% bf

bkoguy07 · 01-29-2008, 01:31 PM

That's smart

hawkeyes56 · 01-29-2008, 02:03 PM

l I would guess my bf to be in the mid to low 20's as well. However I am a powerlifter and train and tend to eat like one, I would like to get my bf down without losing any strength but I am willing to keep my belly if it means my bench stays 420+.

smokey the bear · 01-29-2008, 06:46 PM

Currently 6'1" 235lbs @ 18% bf... I am going to continue bulking until mid april and hope to get to 250lbs and hopefully stay sub-20% bf... I start my recomp at aprils end and hope to be around 240lbs 12% bf by the end of july... wish me luck..
