could not find the old one.... so I made a new one
hope to make more gains this year !

I hope to make more losses this year. For the past 2 years, I have hovered within a 15 pound range. I'd like to break that barrier. It always requires commitment and unwavering concentration in both exercise and food consumption that it's so easy to fall off the wagon for either aspect. But I'm committed.

Setting goals for your self is an excellent start!

for me, i'm still hoping to make losses, lol.

still 50 pounds down from 3 years ago and i've made some adjustments to my diet hoping to lose more because i'm still too fucking heavy (i even started eating fish for the first time in my life). i'm eating really well with almost nothing processed but i guess i still need to curb my portions and i need to exercise more. daily exercise is one of my resolutions, we'll see if i can drop some more.

Guess we were all slackin' through the holidays.

Still about 60 lbs shy of where I need to be to compete in a bodybuilding show. I hope this year to get to 240, and maintain roughly the same BF %. Hired a coach to help with diet, and it's working very well so far.

honestly, you want to gain 60 lbs? i'm not claiming to be any sort of expert but i've seen your pics and know you're in awesome shape and probably work out like a maniac as it is, how exactly do you add 60 lbs of muscle in a year, when you're already pretty much solid muscle without using steroids/gh etc? i don't mean to sound judgmental, but what's wrong with the shape you'e in? (other than you're not in a position to be competitive).

you can gain 60lb of mass in a year no problem , but most of that mass will be fat for sure... unless you start using enhancers that goals is pretty crazy in my opinion.

stalker alert!

well he's saying he wants to retain the same body fat %. just seems impossible to me

i've seen yours too

did you rub one out?

well i did but i was gonna' do that anyway

LEGS DAY TODAY!!!!!

This time last year I was 207 lbs. This time this year i am 172 lbs! the years goals will be maintain and gain muscle!

So proud of how far everyone has come and looking forward to cheer all of you on this coming year

go get em fucks!

Thats is awesome! Keep up with whatever you are doing!

Hey Fatal, my goal is to EVENTUALLY get to 260. I am now 220. I want to aim for 20lbs this year -- not all muscle of course. But I'd like to stay under 12% BF. I like to set ambitious goals. That way, I will maximize my results.

But, there's no friggin way I'd ever dream of 60 lbs in a year. I've been around this game for a long time, seen both natural and geared-up guys make great gains -- but no one ever gets beyond 20lbs in a year, on gear or not!

NOthing at all wrong with what I've achieved. But I've always been an athlete, and to not be competitive is impossible for me lol. If I didn't have this I'd be out on the street challenging the neighbourhood kids to street hockey or something. Just how I am. So I have to think of this competitively to keep going.

ok cool, thanks for clearing that up, 60lbs in one year seemed a ridiculous goal, just couldn't wrap my head around that, lol

That's a great outlook, man. Good on you.

I like to think of myself being the same but I know I'm just a lazy ass. I get bursts of motivation and I work the fuck out but it eventually dies out until the next burst of motivation.

This time last year I was 242....I am 213 right now, and would like to get to around 190.

awesome!

Fuck, I'd love to do that though -- wings and nachos night, every night! lol

And think of the breakfast "smoothies"...yikes.

My new program, The Centurion Method, kicked of for real this month. Barbarian-inspired punishment for people who don't like gyms. Kind of like a caveman crossfit thing I guess. It's going well! My only real goal is to have more energy and lose some fat, which I'm mainly attempting to achieve through diet (after swearing off weekday beer, I've REALLY started to notice the bloat it gives me when I do indulge), but the exercise is a great motivator and just feels damn good.

Generally doing a mix of bodyweight exercises, lots of running, and yoga.

Reccomendations for programs that aim towards bulking up? I'm tall (6'6") and skinny (180) and am looking for something to help me not look like twig anymore.

eat constantly. lots of protein, lots of healthy fats, lots of vitamins. drink milk, eat lots of beef and chicken, eat brown rice, eat quinoa, eat beans by the truckload, eat eggs by the dozen.

being tall and presumably having a slender frame will (obviously) work against you- your muscles naturally want to be long and thin, and just moving your body from point a to point b probably uses a lot f energy so you won't put on much fat. but resistance training of some sort will help. bodyweight exercises, weights, whatever. if you want to start looking bigger focus on legs, chest and arms. having a small abdomen will emphasize the growth you experience in other areas.

i really have no idea what i'm talking about so take all of that with a grain of salt, but good luck!
