For me, target is just a starting point of becoming a better version of myself. Every time I'm hitting my goal, there will be another one waiting to get accomplished. This is what really making me happy and make me fall in love with this lifestyle again and again. No cutting corners or taking an easy ways, just a pure dedication and enthusiasm.

Yes. But not until I enhanced and blasted for 3-4 years. It makes sense because my ideal was put together by men taking gear but it took me a while to come to terms with that. At this point im actually finally happy. Even though those bitch ass npc judges may not always agree ;)

My training/diet is focused on health, athleticism, endurance, and physique, in that order. Basically it's a trade off, if I change the order of the 4, my training/diet has to change. At 46, my goals are to stay relevant active and healthy.

To each their own.

I'm definitely happy just to be partaking. Honestly, running a cycle was always a goal of mine in itself and I'm happy that I waited until my mid-30's to start dabbling. It has honestly probably led to improved health, as I am very disciplined with keeping my bloods and diet in check, which I never did as strictly before, even though I've always been health-minded. I also no longer drink. The journey is the goal! If I HAD to set a concrete goal for myself, it would be to crush my all-time best lifts, which I did at 21 and 190lbs - 345x2 bench, 455 squat, 565 deadlift, before becoming more interested in martial arts, stamina, and injury prevention for the next decade. As long as I stay strong and athletic and able to keep up with my kids, I'm satisfied, regardless of if I ever achieve new PRs.

Forever unfinished

You answered your question for me, "But as we all know those targets soon change and you soon strive for bigger and better."
That's happens, in life, in general with everything.
As we advance in life we want more comfortable things around us. Safer. Bigger. More secure. More expensive.
With me and my jobs and advancing true Ranks i have noticed it so much. Let's say 10 years back i wanted JUST a car, then just a appartment to Rent, and body wise just wanted to be skinny, then things scjanges money wise and job, i wanted more from life.
I have achieved my own goals, and they are not the same as anyone else, and that's ok. We all.differ, from race, income, gender, salary, education, location ECT. We are different, and we want different things.

So to sum up, i have achieved my Past self goals, new ones are forming every step i take.

That is for the post brother.!

Let me put it this way..

Everybody congratulates you but nobody knows how many times you got fucked to achieve it.

Ive been happy just hitting my goals and training. I always set new goals also... For ever the longest I just wanted more weight, I was the skinny kid. I achieved that naturally. Then after I saw my mass, I wanted to be sculpted. I achieved that. Then I wanted to hit 200+ club, got on gear and hit that goal. Now I'm in my 40's and I'm learning how to train and diet differently to stay the healthiest I can be at 210 and low teen bodyfat. That's my new goal. As of today I'm 205 at 15%, but been battling a few little health issues. Getting some bloodwork done next week to see how I can achieve this goal..

I won’t be satisfied until I have to turn sideways to fit through a doorway.

Physically, no I haven't and I probably never will. There's always something to improve but that's what keeps me going and I'm content with it. Mentally, definitely. I've developed discipline, perseverance and a healthy escape from whatever problem I may have at a certain period of time.

It goes against the grain but I’m more than content, I’m over the fucking moon with what I’ve accomplished, especially in the last 3 years. My health, physique and lifts are all improving. I’ve put a huge amount of effort into studying dieting/training and it’s slowly paying off. 10 years+ of this lifestyle has taught me qualities like accountability, discipline and dedication to name but a few. These characteristics have made me more successful in all endeavours. Training is more than eating protein and lifting, it’s a positive mindset that’s always striving for self betterment, I want more, I want to see how far I can take my ever changing goals and I want to be the best role model I can to my children.

What about you fella?

This path is full of surprises and difficulties. But I'm going to my goal and I like it. The gym is my anti-stress and incentive to stay out of shit.

Never .

I want More separation , More definition , harder , grainier , more vascularity .

I want a smaller waist and wider shoulders , I want my Lats to scare people when there at the store in line behind me .

I want my Quads more separated , and my calves to get that marble look .
