When you imagine your ideal physique, what does it look like? Why do you want that? Is it based on how someone else looks? Is it practical, or aesthetic only?
I want to be strong enough to protect my family. Which I've realized isn't too hard to do. Once you've been lifting for a year or three, you're ahead of 99% of the game. Not that I've ever needed this aspect, but it's what motivates me in the gym.
I want to look good for my wife. I've decided that includes a 6-pack, which for me fortunately shows up around 14% body fat. I'd like to get down to 12% in the next 6 months.
What about you?
