No competioning for me yet maybe one day, that takes A LOT of dedication.  My husband weights about 230 and competion is ~ 190-200 and 5'8. He has working out since he was 13. He said he made a lot of mistakes back then. Was real shy and never asked anyone anything. I ask all the time :). Thanks for the compements. but not good at everything just love all this stuff. I read alot!! and post too :)

well, i started at age 19 though i was afraid i wont grow tall, thats why i took weight lightly.. hehehe but ;ater i decided to shift into heavier ones thinking that i wont get huge without lifting heavy.. yes, ur husband may be half right with it.. he may had made some mistakes but he also made some improvements... its a trial and erro thing.. am not thin, i got good muscle qualities with long bellies but am too light for my height maybe.. good luck with ur competition if ever then.. :) am 5'9

For me I lift heavy, I feel I get a better work out. I get sore which makes me feel like I am reaching my goal. I want to build a machine :). I want to eat a bowl of icecream, once a week or what ever, and not worry.

I was a person who jumped into weight lifting/training, supplementing, without asking questions and without guidance.  I ended up blowing up muscle wise (30lbs lean in 1 year), but I used to get horrible "nerve pinch" pains and soreness all the time.  I never knew how to properly train.  I ended up over training and wearing myself out.  I was out of commission for two months (put on some body fat from lack of cardio, not enough change in dieting).  I actually just got back into the workout mode this week; dieted well over the past three weeks and hit the gym hard upon return!  I used to be very naive and hard headed about the advice that others gave me about training.  I learned the hard way.  I actually decided to take a fitness college course this semester and so far am learning so much; beneficial points I never knew.  

To conclude, I now listen to the advice of others, especially trainers.  I had a good week at the gym, I feel great!  At 6'0" 230, 23%BF, I have some work to do before I hit the beach this summer.

i myself also just started back training. i used to weightlift though.  it did pack on much muscle but cnat give you much definition u wanted. but the pumps are much stronger than just training smart. but either way, am choosing to be more wise on my training. i have three gym membership so that i wont hit my plateu and a lot of changes in my training program every week.  

i now train smart and wisely.. sometimes people tend to do things over and over again.


hope you suceed on your endeavor.

I defenetly agree with the over trainig. I do some weeks with lighter weights more reps. But I myself am just back into the gym. I had ACL sx in dec.
