Originally posted by Floorfiller they have definitely changed. when i started out, i wanted to look like ronnie coleman or flex wheeler. but as time went on, i realised that i would never get that big without taking steroids...something that i wouldn't do. i'm still a pretty big guy, but at 191-193...i ain't no ronnie coleman. really all i want nowadays is to be better than average and look good naked hehehe. even if i could get that big...i don't think that i'd really want to anymore.

and have you achieved your latest goals or is it just perfecting the look?

the thing with working out for me is that i don't think i'll ever achieve what i want hehehe. but i can say that i'm pretty content. i'm happy with the progress that i've made...but college has taken its toll and i need to fix a lot of stuff. i also just like feeling healthy...that's apart of my goals so i guess i'm pretty happy with my situation. i need to lose some fat though hehehe...stupid junk food.

in the scheme of things...where do you think you are Diego?

i'm getting there, up until the start of this year i didn't really know how to eat or train or where i was going at all. but then i got a definite goal of the body i wanted and what weight and size i needed to be to have it. so i got measured up at the start and get measured at every point where 15lbs are gained. i've gone from 165lbs to currently 185lbs (should be at 190 but finals have held me back), so i should hit my goal of being at 210 by october, it's going to be hard to pull down my fat ratio at the same time as gaining.

well that sounds pretty good. as far as the fat. its all about how you eat. unlike most people weightlifters can manage their weight so easily. i mean i've lost ten pounds in a week and i've gained ten pounds in a week. its all about what you want. how long has it taken you to get to 185? i'm only a little worried that you might hit some kind of plateau.

well i was 164lbs on the 12 of january this year,
weighed myself yesterday and came to 185lbs, it's been floating around 182 for a couple of weeks, but i believe that's due to bad eating during exam time, if i see myself reaching a plateau, i just increase the amount of food i'm eating, shopping bill is getting extremely big recently. increased it 3 days ago again

ye something like that, i'm not a big cardio fan, so i'm putting it off for a while, and i don't seem to gain fat very easily so i won't worry about bringing it down till towards the end

i think its a good way to go as long as you know that you're making progress. one of the things that i had to deal with early on was i started taking those weight gainer shakes and i think i actually was putting on more fat than muscle. there is definitely some illusion to the amount of muscle you've been putting on, but its still worth it because the extra weight will help you out a lot in lifting.
