			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, it&#8217;s just he beginning of January, and I have already reached the home stretch of my cutting phase. Not that it was anything TOO remarkable. From the weekend before Thanksgiving until the weekend after Christmas I go through my ceremonial bulk phase. This time I&#8217;ve gained about 15 lbs.  Not a huge weight gain, but considering it was only a month and most of my lifts have gone up tremendously; I am pleased. My joints hurt so bad sometimes I have to take twice the amount of glucosamine than directed. I hate taking advil or aspirin, so it makes it worse.</p>
<p>But there is good news. If I can hold onto 2 more pounds whilst cutting, I will have gained a good 8 lbs of muscle. Right now I am 170 at 8% b.f.</p>
<p>Eventually my goal will be 175 at 5%&#8230; a long way off but closer than I was 3 years ago.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a pretty neat idea. I&#8217;ve blogged on another popular peer website, but rarely got any sort of acknowledgment from it. I guess it&#8217;s because it wasn&#8217;t geared to &quot;my people&quot;&#8230; people who actually care about how their bodies look. People who care enough to inspire others to get out of their ruts and make a change.</p>
<p>I wonder if people can understand how life-altering working out is? I mean, before it became a way of life for me or a &quot;calling&quot; if you will&#8230;. I was depressed alone, ugly, apathetic. But here I am now. I am fitness model, I have a terrific girlfriend, and I personal train.</p>
<p>In fact: 90% of these photos were taken for this reality tv show pilot called &quot;alpha male&quot; that is being put in front of fox execs&#8230; if you have a question on alpha male, check my you-tube page and click under &quot;alphadesign&quot; the administrator would love to talk to you.<br />
This is the end of my bio.</p>
<p>I just like to network. This website is great, and I can potentially learn from AND help so many people. It inspires me to drudge up my old fitness articles I wrote when I was bored, and I just posted one in the articles section of the forums (at this point Nov 18, 5:05 pm est it is not up yet). I wonder what the feedback will be&#8230;</p>
<p>I think I do have a crazy goal of having the &quot;perfect&quot; body&#8230;. or is it? How will I know when I get there? Will I have a feeling of perfection? Or will someone just tell me &quot;hey, you&#8217;re perfect&quot;!</p>
<p>I think having THIS goal instead of a tangible one like &quot;I want to bench 315&quot; or&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;I want to be 165 lbs. at 4% b.f.&quot; is that I can&#8217;t ever be satisfied. I can forever push myself until my muscles strip from the bone and then they turn to dust.</p>
<p>Ashes to ashes dust to dust&#8230;. So here I am.
