Beefy:
Nice to meet ya and thanks for visiting my training journal! I never heard of the term "body dysmprohia" so i looked it up and it states "no matter how much weight loss, or gain in terms of a specific goal, the person will always see the 'old' look instead of the new and improved. this rings very much true for me cause i was never really 'fat' just soft cause i never used to work out. and only until recently have i actrually broken thru that visual and started to see myself as i am today. its very hard to break that train of thought causei t was with me for so long.

I know what you mean. I have a picture in my minf of what I want to look like (think = Lee Priest), and I don't think I'll be satisfied until that happens (if it ever happens). One of the problems I encounter is that I'm pushing 50, but I've been told I look 3o ish. People in my gym think that I'm some young guy, pushing 700 lbs on the leg press, I don't realize how difficult that really is form, especially consdiering bad knees, high blood pressure, etc. I know we shouldn't care how others view us, but it's hard to shake that off. On the up side, I do like the look on peoples faces (especially the ladies!), when I tell them how old I am, and that I've only been lifting for 3 years. The look on theor face is priceless! PLus their accolades to me also helps motivate them, and show there is hope for others my age and older, that it's never too late to start.

i do abs every workout practically, but i never hit them as hard as i do my other bodyparts. i just do a few sets and thats it. i need something more solid
