I'm just like every other guy on the planet. Skinny guys wanna be big, and big guys wanna be skinny (unless you're a marathon runner or a world's strongest man competitor... those guys are happy). Since I'm a skinny guy, naturally, I want to look like Arnold Schwartenhoweveryouspellhisname looked in his prime. My personal goal is to hit 200 lbs of solid, my-dad-really-can-beat-up-your-dad muscle. My previous high-point was 189.
So, now I'm 32, and surprisingly I feel more in control of my body than ever before, though I'm not in the best shape of my life. I used to do over 20 pull-ups at a time easy, and on my birthday two days ago I struggled to get to 15. You can see my pain in the iPhone photo above (thanks Nicole Orta).
My starting point today is 179 lbs, and I feel confident I can reach that elusive deuce before my next birthday. I'll update again when the scale shows me 180 (I only check my weight in the morning before breakfast), and I'll continue to update every pound gained after that. Good times!

PULL UPS are a BITCH! They are the ultimate "I am a hard ass workout".
The Rules at the Gym about the Pull Ups
1-You only do them if you can do more than 10
2-You only do them if you can go all the way down and up
3-You only do them if you can do them more than one way up and down you have to be able to push legs out arms in different directions.
4-You only do them if you know everyone at the gym is looking at you.
5-You only do them if you don't use anything to stand on to start, you have to jump up and hang than pull up.
This is why I don't do them at the gym
LMAO@ Julie!!! That is TOO funny.
Babe, your pull ups are amazing. The things you do with those abs... hmm... Anyway, you'll totally get to your goal weight, I know it. You're not that far off.
In any case, even if you aren't in the best shape of your life, you're still super hot. SUPER hot.
