Hi, I was asked about myself in another thread and thought people might want me to have my own thread. I've been on many boards for years, but now that I've been on this board for a while now I just want to share some info:
I weigh currently 217 but I'm tall, 6 foot 2 inches. As you know, I am not natural and I have done 3 cycles, not any more than a gram per week. I have never competed onstage except for once. I am personally not willing to jeopardize my health and comfort to subject my body to what it takes to attain a competitive bodybuilder's ideal body for a matter of weeks, if not days. Mainly because of aesthetics, I decided to keep myself around this weight and lean. I am currently 7-8% bodyfat. No reason to go lower, as I won't be able to maintain it! I'm staying this lean until I have reason to do otherwise. I do have striations still visible in my tris and chest, so I may be somewhat less than 7-8, although my abs are not fantastic... Calipers lie.
While I'm on the subject, I just want to say that I'm in the best shape of my life. Granted, people still think I am a bodybuilder when they see me, but I am smaller than I could be. I've always wanted functional strength and this is best way for me to keep it. I can play full court basketball competively or frisbee (yes, it is a real sport...) and keep up. My mile run was somewhere around 9 and a half minutes when I was 22 and at my heaviest. Now it's 5:50. Not terribly impressive, but I do weigh almost 220 pounds. Actually, somedays I do weigh that much. Oh yeah and I can do 50 pull ups, which is probably the most impressive physical feat I am capable of in my mind. Also, my blood pressure is well within normal ranges. If anyone wants to ask me more about my ludacris ideas to end my continuous quest for more mass, ask me about it and I'll be happy to tell you more. I think it was a great decision. Above all, thanks for all the support guys, I owe a lot to your knowledge and friendship!![Beertoast :beertoast :beertoast](/images/smilies/beertoast.gif)
*EDIT* - I don't by any means feel that I don't have things to improve and I didn't want to give that impression. I'm a ways away from where I want to be, mainly in terms of strength and stamina. I'm in this for life!
