    Default What is your proudest accomplishment to date?

    I am talking in terms of bodybuilding. What have u done for yourself that are are the most proud of? It could be a personal best or it could be fat loss or even how big your arm is.

    For me it was getting to 290 pounds. Fuck I felt huge at that height. I am 6 '1. I also had some fat for sure but I felt swole lol. Another would be getting to the 19 inch arm mark.

    I'm a tiny human being (5'6") with bad genetics, but about a month ago I hit 170 pounds. I'd been trying to exceed that weight for about a year because it's the weight limit for my height in the Marine Corps. I was pretty happy.
    Unfortunately, the week afterward I developed a MRSA-like infection thanks to some asshole sticking his bare foot in my ear and I lost 15 pounds and dropped 60 pounds on my squat and 40 pounds on my bench. Being little blows, and it made me seriously consider not being natural anymore.

    Don't worry man,

    brick walls are there not to stop you but to test how bad you want it and if you are willing to smash through that wall.

    Smash it down bro.

    I was pretty happy with getting 2nd in my class in my first show, as well as getting the Alberta rookie of the year award. Hopefully, I'll have even bigger accomplishments this year.

    The day I got sponsored by Muscletech and my first shoot with them was surreal and one of the accomplishments I'm most proud of.

    Recently being asked if I was a pro bodybuilder by someone who I recently met and had been a former Strongman competitor. I've always wanted my physique to have that look...and evidently I'm getting there.

    going from 215 to 135... (mmm trying to get back in that range now.. )

    first time I ever benched 100 (finally have gotten back there and exceeded it),

    first time I squatted 175 (working on this again)

    doing unassisted pullups

    getting up on stage twice (5th first time, 2 seconds the 2nd time), third time will be this year (going for a 1st place !!!)
    Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it.

    Going from 145 to 185 in less than two years naturally. Obviously, I'm probably one of the leaner (read: "skinnier") guys on here, but let me tell you I was a fucking stick figure not too long ago! lol I had never touched weights in my life up until 2006, so once I started reading some magazines and getting to the gym regularly, I was hooked and still am. New goal: get to 205 two years from now. I'm definitely a "hard gainer" but it's coming!

    Squating 405lb!! For me that is huge! I also have gone from a fat 265lb with 155lb lean mass to 220lb with 195lb lean mass in two years. Thats 38% bodyfat to 12%. I am just a few more weeks away from seeing my abs for the first time ever!

    Benching 405 for a double after banging out 11 with 315. That was the biggest BB goal I ever set for myself: 315 for 10 and 405 for 1. I slightly over produced just in case. I was walking on air for days after that!!

    Due to a shoulder injury and poor form I have not benched in many years. I just started again. My second bench day was two days ago. I got 225 for 8 and DAY-UM I'm sore! I wonder how long it will take me to get back up to 315?

    The first time I ever benched 225. I was smiling for days afterwards. Strangely, that not only ranks as one of my proudest bodybuilding accomlishments, but also just in my lifetime in general.

    It's not important to me now, but at the time, it was about on par with graduating university.
