40lbs of muscle in 2 years! almost time to get into shape!

[Valdez]

I will be competing in local NPC shows as they come around. I'm going to the emerald cup this weekend! R.C. will be there as well as Melvin Anthony, Valentina Chepega, Lou Ferrigno will do a seminar... it will just be awesome. I plan to compete at middlewieght about 183lbs, but I would love to be light-heavy we'll see.

I began BB right after I got out of highschool. These are the "stats"

18.5 years old 5'7" 155 at 7% = 144lbs of lbm
20.5 years old 5'7" 207 at 10% = 186lbs of lbm

42lbs of lbm. no gear of course. I need to get up to about 210-220 solid and then diet down to 6-7% bf again at just over 200lbs this is my current goal.

Way to go! I am attempting 40 pounds in 3 years though I am an extreme ectomorph.
Stats to date:

April 1999 39 yoa, 6' 150 8%
April 2001 41 yoa, 6' 173 10%

17 pounds and 1 year to go!

Good luck Valdez. Got to say that the stats of you in out of highschool and now are inspiring to me b/c right now I'm 17, about 5'9" @ 155 w/ 10% bf and it goes to show that the goal is obtainable if I keep pushing.

I'm glad you guys have been motivated by the post. bodybuilding means alot too me and it is very true that you can accomplish so many things when you enjoy the journey. bodybuilding is about continual improvement, it a neverending pursuit. ok ok, enough touchy feely words... hell ya! keep pushing the iron bro's!
