Honestly, my goal was to stay below 200, but hey. I guess if my body fat keeps decreasing, I am not gonna complain about the mass increase. I am more here for the fitness and advice aspect I have no intentiom in competing in bodybuilding. I know it is a bodybuilding forum, which I do have an interest in it, but I am not much of a bodybuilder. I used to compete in no gi freestyle grappling when I was younger. I am 26 now. I had some lower back issues and and an issue with my right knee that I incurred over time, unrelated. Between that and some other outside influences it really put my fitness on pause. Slowly getting back in the game, and although I feel I am older then I want to be to participate... I plan to get back into Gracie BJJ real soon. Just making sure I am back up to par, so I don't re-injur myself. I am going for the more define cut look. Trying to increase both my stamina (although I hate cardio) and my strength. I guess if I had a game plan, that would be it. :confused:

There is nothing wrong with those goals. And bodybuilding is a big tent. I mean I see it as a sport, and a life style. I'm into the lifestyle myself, but as of now, I just follow the sport. Maybe someday that goal will change.

Sounds pretty much how I've lived my life. Size has always been secondary to strength and fitness. It's only recently I've had more of a desire to get bigger. I admire those mass monsters but, gulp, shouldn't really say it here, I don't think it's long term healthy. Sorry mass monsters.
