Why did you decide to buff yourself up Duke? The same reason that I did?
Much of the same, actually.
Also, once my girlfriend and I split, I found myself with a lot of free time and that I had let myself get lazy physically when I was with her, so I decided to go back to the basics. I feel better and it helps clear my mind when I do get a workout in.
It's certainly worth doing. I've added on 50lbs since I started at the gym, though I was starting from a lean position. If you need any hints or advice on workouts or diet let me know
