What would you say are the biggest obstacles to your fitness goals? (This could be both physically and/or environmentally...)

I don't like being bulky so I tend to undereat

**Bonesaw** · 07-19-2011, 06:45 PM

as of right now everything is going smooth. trying to get to 170lbs. Starting weight right before the new year, when i started everything, was just about 150 and my heaviest weight this week was 167. gaining about 2 months a month and a half or so. diet could be better but money is holding that back just a little.

I shattered my wrist about 3 months ago. Trying to figure out innovative ways to get back to where I was. Only have about a 1/4 of wrist movement.

I would say Meal Plan. I have no appetite at all, but if I did not consume all the calories that I do I would shrink!

Im a Marine so I run more than a crackhead looking for a rock so gaining mass at a progressive rate is a bit hard.

Ice Cream and Donuts and Chocolate are always my problem cutting

**x~factor** · 07-20-2011, 10:56 AM

2 decades worth of stubborn fat.

The ligaments, or lack thereof in my right knee and ending a few weeks ago, being so depressed about my work and financial situation I drank too much to get off the couch let alone go to a gym. Now that I've taken care of the latter, the former is just a hiccup that I can and always have worked around.

**Curt James** · 07-20-2011, 11:31 AM

I'm a procrastinator. That has negatively impacted every area of my life.

**murf23** · 07-20-2011, 12:29 PM

I tend to do things all or nothing. I'm lost on how to eat if I'm not on some sort of diet, but when I'm scheduled to be 'off-season' - trying to get back on a scheduled diet is hard. Training-wise, in the past it has never been a problem - every time I walk into the gym, I want to see how much I can lift. These days, due to my boatload of tendonitis and other general wear&tear issues, I just can't do that anymore. So I'm not particularly excited to go into the gym at the moment. Needing to learn how to lift "differently" and change my motivations - for the last 30 yrs I"ve gone into the gym to "get into the zone" and test the envelope... now its like .. um ... low wt / high rep? Eh.... I'm scheduled to "drink the kool-aid" and get some kettlebell training for "core" and "functional strength" (as opposed to "lifting fucking heavy stuff").

Getting started is the hard part - once I'm in the zone, I"m generally good for the duration. At the moment I"m inside of 19 weeks out from my target show, where my goal is to dump 30-40 lb, including 10 lb of muscle so I can compete in a smaller category than BB.

Work and school and maintaining a functional relationship with my GF.

Hmmm.... is that what they mean by "functional training"??

**njc** · 07-20-2011, 04:49 PM

Used to be pot. Now it's probably my addiction to distance running! It's weakened and shrunk my legs.

I hear ya!! And its gotten worse since I gave up smokes! Ate 6 donuts yesterday. I keep telling myself I'm on a bulk.

**skinnyd** · 07-21-2011, 02:26 PM

getting the right amounts of good foods and eating every 3 hrs, this becomes a lifestyle I'm up at 03:00 on days that I train and at the gym by 03:30.

come home make all my food for the day and off to work for 06:30 people I work with think I'm a freak been doing this for a long time and it works.

Not allowing the hot ladies stretching or on the treadmills distract me longer than 5 minutes.

**trapzilla** · 07-21-2011, 03:54 PM

small stomach capacity and low appetite

**Zaphod** · 07-21-2011, 04:33 PM

Diet and time. Not a good enough diet and not enough time.
