Ultimate Goals

[Blood&Iron]

Just out of curiosity I'd be interested to know board members' ultimate physique aspirations. I don't mean something unachievable but what are people shooting for in the long run, and how far are you from achieving your goals? Do you want an aesthetic physique or will you never be big enough? Also how do you plan to get there? Naturally. Anabolics. What sort of time frame? Etc, etc, etc.

 

[Blood&Iron]

Okay, right now I'm about 215 probably about 15%bf(I know I'm porky dammit--though I can see my abs.) Ultimately I'd like to hit 235 at 7-8%bf. Given my previous rate of progress I think I can hit that goal in 2 years. I'd like a physique something along the lines of Arnold--obviously it ain't gonna be as pretty as I'm fairly average genetically speaking. I plan to get there "naturally", but of course I do use supplements. I'll reassess my goals once I hit the 235 mark, but I'm not a fan of the "freaky" look--at least not for myself. Once I've reached what I consider an "ideal" physique my quest for size will end.

It’s tough to say what my ultimate goal is, I think I’d like to try a little bit of everything. Since I’m still young I’m currently going for the freaky big look. Then maybe I’ll slim down for a couple of years. I don’t really know, I just like tinkering with my body I guess. Hell, maybe I’ll try the Fatass look for a bit.

 

[Stryc-9]

I'm going for the lean and toned look....not too big or freaky (although I have nothing against that look!)...

...my current obsession is trying to determine precisely how much cardio will suit this need... to the extent that I shed some bodyfat - without sacrificing too much of that hard-earned muscle mass...ahh the HOLY GRAIL of bodybuilding!!

I'm staying natural - and being realistic in light of this...watching the diet, etc., - and I don't want to fall into the trap of overtraining because I tend to go way overboard!! Ultimately it hurts me more than it helps me....but I just can't BACK-OFF dammit!!

 

[Stryc-9]

Wait a minute! Screw it all - I'm going to try the FATASS look too!!

 

[NateDogg]

Currently 5'10" about 170 lbs and 12% BF. I am pretty much going for the Men's Health cover model look. Need to pack on some more muscle first so currently I am trying to bulk.

[needsize]

If I can tie up my own shoes then I aint big enough....

 

[Mighty Mouse 21]

Right now, I'm '5'8, 183, 9% bf. Hopefully in the next two years I can get to around 220 wihile keeping the same amount of fat. As long as I keep goin up, I'm gonna stay natural, but when I start to plataue a bit I'll start looking at my other options i.e. juice.

 

[bigmag]

My goals are to get as big as possible at any cost. I plan on competing in a couple NPC events in 2002 and my goals for that are to compete and win overall teens and novice classes. Right now I'm about 220 at about 9% body fat and I would like to compete in my first competition next year (the Lone Star Classic) weighing in around 200lbs.

 

[Benzi]

My goals are as follow: I am 5'5 and have a small body frame
I have been lifting for 3 years and i weight 145lbs @ 5% bf
I hope to one day reach 160 @ 5% bf
This is very realistic and i think any more would be too much more my skelatal structure

 

[Love Bone]

My goal when I started and still is to be vascular when not working out. I figure I am lean enough at that point. That and bench 500. I am at 350 now (twice). Got a couple years to go.

 

[Lord_Suston]

Bf down to 7-8% bench 275 12 reps squat 370 12 reps dead 405 10reps overhead press 185 10 reps clean and jerk 245 10 reps

 

[Blood&Iron]

So looks like needsize and bigmag are the only ones who are going for the freaky look--although the response has obviously been pretty low. Still, I'm surprised.

Sryc-9, you funny. I'm just training as hard as possible. Dunno what I want to be when I grow big.......he hehe he cough.

 

[BigDdaGanjalist]

My 'used to be' current goal was to go maximum bulking over the winter time. . . but the demands of my course in school has changed that to:

My goals right now are to maintain what I have.

5'6" 180lbs. 13%bf

long term goals: to be at 215-220lbs. 8-9%bf

then just maintain from there.

 

[HighIntensity]

was-510' 195
now- 510' 180
goal- 510' 205

 

[teen1216]

I'm 6'2", so if I don't get any taller I want to be a Men's Health cover guy with some more muscle in the right places. Same ripped look, cuz I think it would look best on me.

 

[dcgartn]

currently im 6' 190 (down from 205 in august), and am in the middle of a cutting phase. I would like to get down to about 180 with less than 10% bf.

[FitnessFrk]

this is my 18th year in the iron jungle. I've always trained for power to increase my althletic performance in other sports. I've now changed to go for "show" vs "go" as I have been lucky and remained injury free to my 33rd birthday...

I'm strictly trainining for symmetry now to bring up my lagging bodyparts. I need to bring my thighs up to size, maybe another inch and lower my bodyfat down to 9-10%.

6'0 240 12% bf

chest 50"
waist 34"
thighs 28"
arms 18.75"
calves 18"
neck 18"

 

[Thaibox]

I don't know the size I'd like to be, but I know that my main goal is to military press 315.

 

[TheGame23]

Right now I am 220lbs. at 11% bodyfat and I am 6'1". I would like to maintain 240lbs. at 6-8% bodyfat.

 

[HulkRow]

I dont use anything ,just work out and eat no junk.

 

[Imnotdutch]
