What Is Your Goal?

More muscle mass just like anybody else. When I started working out consistently in January, I was 183 lbs. and 22% bodyfat. Now I'm 177 and 13% bodyfat. Thanks to 5x5 workouts, keto and intermittent fasting. Goal is to hit 9% and then bulk up more aggressively.

I want to get to 180 lbs, but it's been difficult...that's my overall goal. Sure, I workout and all, but however I manage to get to 180 is fine be it mostly fat or mostly muscle. Ahhh I hate forcing myself to eat

Bulking up is definitely my goal. Been making slow progress, but I'm not gonna stop. I love holding my partner up in the air between my arms when we have sex. Building up to continue for longer before my strength gives out.

Add 15-20 lbs of muscle.

Since May, I've made a little progress in getting rid of this Dad body. I can see physically that the weight and fat are slowly coming off. I'm both excited that I'm seeing results and a bit disappointed that I haven't been able to achieve my goal. However, the year isn't over yet.

I've gained some weight but it's muscle not fat, and I continue to loose some of the belly fat. I'm determined that this belly fat and love handles are going away one way or the other.

If I can get my mid section in line with the rest of my body I'll be a happy camper.

Get my shoulder healed up so I can go beat the brakes off some bitches at a bench competition.

I want to be able to do 10 chin ups without feeling like I'm having a stroke after. Im up to 2 reps of five right now.

LOL You have to be born with it, you can not increase it with exercises. But it is always worth trying.

ask anyone with priapism there is a few others here on lpsg with it as well

have gotten growth after puberty

 

[Stratavos]

I currently weigh 211~215 depending on food eaten with a 33" waist and a 44" chest. if I could convert some of the BFP into more muscle, I'd be ecstatic (especially since I'm happy with my weight as I am).

At age 68 and still with an ectomorph type metabolism, it's damn difficult to add muscle but I do think my shoulders, upper chest, and legs are slowly gaining muscle mass. Comments from guys at my gym who have known me for 10-12 years support that sense, too.
My shoulders feel better than they have for about 30 years when I had a major injury.

 

[DerrickRigg]

Continue my bodybuilding. I have competed before but its been eight years. So, that is a long time. I'm thinking about bulking up first to the 290s and then cut down. I'm 6'2" so got good genetics to carry a lot of muscle size. Just getting back in the gym every day and sometimes early morning and evening is rough.

This year I want to eat even healthier than last year, eat even more protein, which will therefore help transition me to the fitness goals this year. I like my size (and my body fat percentage) even though I get body shamed for being "skinny", I just want to look stronger and more defined overall. So I want to strengthen my chest, strengthen my thighs, my calfs, my ass, my arms. I love where my abs are, but I want to see if my adjustments this year help me get them even more defined. But a stronger chest is the most important one to me this year. Also, my muscle mass is 48 percent, I want to try to get it a little over 50 which shouldn't be too hard. I've already started this and I'm making progress.

I get body-shamed by the general population for not being fat as well. I thought that I was the only one!
My goal is more muscle mass.

Grew up as a lanky kid and got ridiculed for it. At the gym my metabolism had me as a hard-gainer. I kept trying to get myself to 170lbs by lifiting and couldn't get there, even with insane high-protein eating. Over the past year I finally broke through to 175lbs with good lean gain--looks great in the mirror. My goal this year is to keep up the lean gains to 180-185lbs but keep the 33" waist that I'm proud of.

I need to make fitness a habit again, in particular strength training.
I'm 53 years old, I'll never look great, but it's how I feel, also, critically, setting myself up for health and fitness in the long term

I had hip replacement surgery recently, so running is out of the question, and I need to be selective and careful with the exercises I choose.

So, motivation needed I think. One thing for me might be just how I look, might start a progress blog somewhere.

When I was getting started on my fitness journey years back, I signed up with a personal trainer at a gym. It cost some money but (1) made me put an appointment on my calendar so I don't skip the workout and (2) helped me learn the exercises, methods and safety that I needed. This gave me a lot of future confidence for later workouts on my own.

A trainer can help you start with the exercises that are right for you and for your goals, so don't underestimate it.

With a little knowledge and good habits, anything is possible!
