So im currently at 245, Still sorta dieting. Still going 6-days a week to the gym. I want to get down to 200 -210ish by the end of March. So Looks like ECA stack time again. Hopefully time I can make it further then a week.

I gotta get motivated to go to the gym, but coming home from work at Walgreens really drains me to the point of not wanting to do anything. At least when Spring semester starts at CSUN I can work out there.

So I spent $25 and bought Arnold's Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding (the revised edition).

Pretty cool book so far. I'm about 100 pages in so far and it's an 800 page book. Lots and lots of good info. I haven't even hit the work out chapters yet but I've skimmed them and there is so much info.

I turn 26 in just under 6 months so my goal is to try and have a 6-pack by then or be fairly close to it. Depending on how the winter turns out and how much I end up skiing, some weekends might be spent doing light/moderate cardio in the gym or out on the slopes. Skiing absolutely blasts the quads.

Diet is still pretty damn strict and I am going to keep it that way. I don't drink, unless it's a rare occasion, and I feel a huge difference in just the overall way I feel.

Basic overall goal is just proportionate aesthetics. Not too big, not ridiculously lean, just a solid size/build. I know I'm a long way off, but you've gotta have a goal in mind.

My upper body is developing really well, but I feel my quads are lacking a bit. I also feel my forearms are a touch too small compared to my calves, so that's something I am going to work on as well.

Also, my weight is right around the low 190's.

I took 2 weeks off around Christmas, ate what I wanted and drank heavily, and gained almost 10 lbs. Not going to do that again anytime soon. lol

Started again last week. Just moved across the country, so Dec and the first part of Jan I totally slacked on my lifting and eating. Lost a lot of weight on all my lifts, but that will be short lived. Back on the road for a 500 pound squat and deadlift and 315 bench
