A visually appealing body, size and weight are an interesting subject.
My role model is Hugh Jackman , Wolverine in X-men. Hugh is 6'2" and 220 lbs at, say 10% body fat. I am 6'2" and 228 lbs at 28.5% body fat.
I need to loose about 30 lbs of fat (tae bo, P90X) and gain as much muscle as I can (lifting weights). If I can loose 30 lbs and put on 21 lbs of muscle it would put me right around my goal for June 1 st of 220 lbs at 10% BF. I don't know what weight I will be by the time I bulk up - 3.5 lbs of lean muscle a month and then burn the fat down to 10% from 28.5% which is about 30 lbs.
I am more concerned with looking pumped and a low body fat % than what I weigh.
It is funny, I was looking at a Muscle Mag and I was looking at this huge pro bodybuilder thinking he must be over 300 lbs. I read his stats and he was 220 lbs at 6% BF and ... get this... 5'6"! He is a fire plug. I am built more like a Lance Armstrong than a fire plug. My genes make it hard for me to get big, but Hugh Jackman looks fit and muscular at 6'2" 220 lbs so I can too.
I have a page from a Men's Health magazine hanging above my desk that shows the torso of a guy who is probably 10% BF and not huge like a pro bodybuilder but has nice muscle development. This is my inspiration!
Off to do abs.
228 lbs, 28.5%, 45" waist, 14" arms
