I’m curious how many of you have an “ideal” physique that you’re working towards. Is there a particular celeb/athlete whose form you want to emulate as closely as possible, or perhaps you have a photo/collage of some fitness models from your favorite exercise magazine that you look to for inspiration? Personally, I have an anatomical sketch of an athletic female form that I keep up on my fridge so that I can look at it and keep myself focused on my goal.

Theres gonna be a ton of this.
I keep a photo of Ahhnold (in his hey-day) hanging in my workout area. I do not want to be nearly this bulky, but he is a sight to see! It motivate the Hell out of me.
My ideal size is closer to model size (a heavier model). I like Brad Pitt's abs, Ed Norton looks good in "American History X," How about Stallone in "Get Carter?" Holy dump!!!
My ideal (and goal) is ~195lbs. < 7%BF. I would like bigger guns and legs. Essentially as close to perfectly proportioned as possible.
To me working out is a health thing. I am obsessed with being healthy. So, I workout. In the meantime, I have found that I like the way my body looks when I workout... So, as a secondary result I try to build my muscles. But, my primary focus of being healthy is in the forefront.
My motivation comes mostly from heavy metal music and large mirrors!

Some really interesting answers, you guys!
Personally, I wouldn’t mind having Jessica Alba’s physique. She’s so beautifully curvy! Same goes for the voluptuous and toned Salma Hayek. Halle Berry is another ideal that I think is a lot healthier than the average stick-figure fashion model that you see in magazines. I wouldn’t mind having attributes from all (or any!) of these beautiful women.
Oh man, don’t get me started. He has such an amazing body in that film – both defined and leanly proportioned. I generally don’t like the look of super-bulked or muscular males… give me a lean “swimmer’s” physique instead! In my opinion, Christian Bale in American Psycho is just about as perfect as a male body can get. Back to lower abs, you know who else has an amazing set? Ryan Reynolds in Blade Trinity or Amityville Horror. And in my opinion, Christopher Meloni has pretty much the perfect male butt. He looks AMAZING for his age. Okay, I’d better stop… or I’ll drown in a puddle of my own drool.

Okay, well I put Carmen Electra as my ideal, and I just found that her measurements are 36-23-35 and seeing that I am 36-28-36 I had better get started on the cardio and abs work to lose those 5 inches from my waist! LOL! At my smallest (excluding childhood, lol) my waist was 25", so everyone wish me good luck with that, lol!
Bummer.
Okay, here are Jessica Alba's measurements:
Height : 5'6 1/2" (same as me)
Bust : 34"
Waist : 25"
Hips : 34"
Weight: 127 lbs
Okay... so I have to lose about 10 lbs, and a total of about 7 inches through my hips and waist. (Here are some of her figure without any strategic camera-angles or airbrushing - not that she needs it.)
