There is a "force" that calls to me ,but not only to me, but to all of the men that live this lifestyle of bodybuilding. The unexplainable "force" that pulls out of bed at times were most people are only thinking about the back of their eyelids. It pulls and calls us to this place, this war zone, this battlefield we call the gym. We walk in knowing we wil come out batard and beat to shredds but we do it any way. Most call us crazy but I say we are warriors, the ones that are not afraid to do things others won’t. To  push ourselves to the max and keep going wanting more. There is no stopping this "force", it calls us at times being soft and others like a Thunderstorm in the night. We many don’t ignore this call, we come with full force to answer this call, the call of the gym.

It has been a little over 3 months and I have cut down from a  sloppy 240 lbs. to a tighter and stronger 220lbs. I knew I wanted to cut down some but I didn’t know I would go this far and I have to say that I am loving every minute of it. I am getting more comments about my physique than I ever had. I have more definition and my vasc. are starting to come out nicely. Now that fall is right around the corner I am going to head back to the hulk and bulk stage and try to put on a solid 15-20 lbs. by April of 2009. We will c what happens

I have been going hard for about a year now. I look back at when I really started to get serious about working out and wonder how I thought I was big. I have cut down alot of fat and gained even more muscle. I have a long way to go still but I cant wait to see what this next year has in store for me after this past year I know it is only going to get better. Also in that year this week is the first full week that I have taken off. I was reading that taking a week off can be good but it is only wednesday and I am already itching to get back into the gym.

Hey everyone it has been awhile since i have worte on here. A lot has changed in a little over a month. I am the strongest i have ever been and the most cut I have ever been and i have drop 15 pounds and i feel great. I am amazed at how much my body has changed in the last month and I need to get some pics up so I can get some constructive critisim from everyone. I just cant wait to see wut the future holds for my body if I keep going the way Im going.

I was looking around the gym today and noticed everyone of the guys who are jacked up are under 6 foot. Im not tqking anythign away from them because they still have to put in the hard work but they got it alot easier then us tall guys. Im 6′4" and everytime i see a shorter guy in the gym I think to myself "If I was shorter i would look like that." I have to eat so much freakn food and take in so much protein that Im on the toliet every 3-4 hours. But Im not gonna back down. Im gonna keep on truckn till I get there.

Are bodybuilders insane for what they do? To me I love to work out and I love to feel the pain from a good set. When I tell people that they look at me like I’m crazy. Even my girlfriend tells me there is something wrong with me. But I say it is a small price to pay for bigger pay offs. I have always thought that bodybuilders have to have something a little wrong "up there" to do what they do and to put themselves threw what they do. Today during my work out all but confirmed this thinking. I was doing a set of barbell curls and I looked and the mirrior and kind of scared myself to say the least. The look in my eyes and the concentration in my face shocked me a little bit. I thought to myself after "If anyone saw me they r going to think I’m a mental case. But that all just goes back to what I said earlier about bodybuilders have a little screw loose up there in the ole’ noggin. Insanity? I think not, it is just a little piece of what makes up a bodybuilder.

I am a 19 year old freshman in college and to most people im not your normal college freshman.I go to the gym four to five times a week and I try to eat as healthy as I can with the crappy cafeteria food Im given. All my friends like to sit around the dorm room and drink beer. Me on the other hand I just sit there and drink my water or whatever. I guess Im the odd one out everynight but that is ok with me I can deal with that because I know that I am doing better than they are and I am going to live a longer healthier life. Im not saying that I don’t drink but I might have one or two every couple months. they have probably drank at least 30 different times since we came back in jauary and that is probably an understatement. I have had a drop since December. They say next year they are going to make me drink and I just let them think whatever they want but it aint happnen. I work to freakn’ hard in the gym to go waist it all by drinking beer. That is whats Pissn’ Me Off

aThis week was my first week on my journey to cutting down. I currently am 240 pounds at 6′4" and I am going to try to cut down to aroud 230 and keep my muscle that I gained during my bulk cycle. It is going to be hard but I am up to the challenge. I have been doing really good so far with what I eat. I have cut my carbs and sodium intake down and my calories. I have been eating more salads, fish, and fruits. It is going to be a long hard journey but just like King Leonidas I am ready to go up against an enemy that will not be esy to bring down.

Im not sure what happened but today when I was working out I really for the first time saw a major difference in my physique. Also for the first time I really started to beleive that I can really achieve my goals if I stay true to myself and stay true to my diet and workouts. I always knew that your body would change but I never really saw the results. I think that my bidy is finally starting to react to everything I’m throwing at it and I have this feeling now that nothing can stand in my way and it is great. I can’t wait to go to the gym tomorrow and get at it again.

 My name is Zach Thomas and I am 19 years old. I am a college freshman and as most of you probably know that is one of the hardest things to go through in your life. I am just now learning how to live on my own and manage everything so i stay a float. On top of that my parents are getting a divorce after 22 years of marriage. It broke my heart when they told me but I didn’t show any emotion. I knew it was coming but I didn’t think it was going to happen this soon. I didn’t really start to think about it until I got back to my dorm and I was sitting there watching TV and it hit me that they were no longer going to be mom and dad together they were going to be like one over here and the other over there. It was eating away at me the rest of the day and all day monday. Until I got to the gym, "My Sanctuary", and could just throw everything out of my mind but throwing the weight around. I felt great at the gym I completly forgot about everything and just got to work. Ever since then the gym is the place I go to get away from everything and everybody and just concentrate on me. It is going to be hard dealing with my parents divorce but I think going to the gym is really going to help me in the ling run.
