Someone once said, "good enough, ain't."
I love the sound of clanging iron in the morning. It sounds like victory.

I had to think about this one for awhile, I am somewhat pleased but I am just getting started, so I guess I will go ahead and vote now.

I hated everything about my body.....until I was told I was lucky that cancer wasn't going to take it from me!!! Now I'm just thankful that I have the chance to find fault in it and have the time to do something about it!!!!
I can see the results.......but then I'm only 4 weeks into a new routine and food check.......but I can see the results and want nothing more than to continue playing merry hell with the body I have!!!!! In the nicest possible way........that is!!!!Smile at your enemies, it'll drive them crazy.........'cos that twinkle in your eye means your up to something!!!!

I'm satisfied, but I am never really sure what I want to do with my body. One day I'll want to lose 10 more pounds and look very lean (I'm pretty lean already), the next day I'll want to bulk and add 30 pounds. Right now, I want to stay lean for the summer and maybe lose 5 more pounds.
Eh, I don't know. But I am happy with how I look, and I feel grrrrrreat!

I don't think anyone of us will ever be truly satisfied with our bodies. The more we stare at ourselves in the mirror, the more we see to improve. Even if it looks perfect to someone else already.

I would say that you always need to be very happy with yourself and continue to work towards a different goal once you attain the previous one. For example, How do you think Michael Jordan go so good?? He always knew he was good, he just worked toward a different goal every year.

Ditto on that, I'm on a bulking routine now. I'm wanting to add 25 to 30lbs. But each day I look in the mirror and see my 6pack fading, it makes me want to stop my bulk and start cutting again to get my ab definition back. I keep telling myself not to let the whole definition thing bother me while on a bulk but I must admit it does. One big mental gameOriginally posted by I Are Baboon

Fairly satisfied but trying to meet specific goals: 6 pack and classical greek standards on body proportions (1/2" more to go on calves and biceps and 10 more lbs of fat reduction then I'm into sustainment).

I would not think it would be possible to have enough mass to have 18" arms and have a waist as small as 28! I don't know any.Originally posted by J'Bo
