Broady - Introduction
Hey Guys, Just thought I would introduce myself:-
Name: Broady
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Location: Central Coast, NSW
Occupation: Technical Account Manager - Construction Materials
Training Experiences: Trained from the age of 14 until 27, reasonable physique but had a tendancy to overtrain and struggled to gain weight until I tried the "breakfast of champions". Went from 10.5 Stone to 14 stone in 18 months!
Training then took a back seat to career (to enable move to Oz) and family for a few years. Moved to Australia just over 3 years ago and again career commitments inhibited training! Now aged 35, 'tis time to go at it - and hard! got years to catch up on!
Any Interests: Rugby League!!! And of course Body Building! Looking to establish friends and contacts in the community here in Australia.

Hi guys, another fattie comes in from the cold.
I'm Mark, close friends call me tin, (high school nickname after the comic character - dont ask. It's dumb I know )
Trained from 14 - 17 then hit some big speed bumps along the way.
Fast forward in time, various jobs (mostly construction) and I've started a family and work in I.T.
Pushing a keyboard now, went from 70 odd kilos to 95, decided enough was enough. Now I'm committed to paying my tribute to our diggers of the past on the Kokoda Track - and have given up all sugary fat comfort foods.
Currently working through light cardio exercises and light freeweight routines to build up lactic acid tolerance (or whatever it is called now) and basically trying to lose the middle tyre and get back on the horse.
Walking has played a big part in initial training (Kokoda is 12 months away) and completed first flat ground test walk from Sunnybank to Brisbane City in 3hrs 7 minutes and 15 seconds.
Keen to learn how to do things right, to eat right, to live healthy and live happy. I have a goal of my kids growing up remembering their father as a fit, powerful happy role model.
Gave up smoking after seven years, hardest thing I've ever done.
I build computers for fun, wage war in online games, play paintball when the minister for finance and spare time will let me (wife).
Also mad for badminton (good reflexes, cardio, general high speed intense game despite its dubious name and rep).
Cant think of anything else at the moment. Basically here to learn and meet new people and be inspired by them.

Im just starting out on this 12-week eating/gym plan to gain 3-4kg of muscle and to firm up my core. At the moment there is a bit of fat down there, even though im only 72kg so i want to shrink that and define it so it feels slimmer and looks better. At the moment im currently taking Creatine Mono 30min before my workout and Horleys Crossfire 2-3 times a day to achieve my goal.
Im trying to eat 2500 calories a day to gain weight aswell which im struggling with a little. Typically im getting to around 2000 calories but over time i know i will crack 2500 more concistently.
At the gym im not lifting heavy weights as im only a wee-fella lol but im doing the absolute max i can ( for instance, DB press on swissball, maybe 15-20kg .. weak, i know! ).
Anyways, thats me! Always open to hearing from anyone with good advice on how i can improve so, get at me!
Stats:
Age - 26
Weight - 72kg
Height - 6ft
Location: London
Current eating plan:
730am - cup of museli with mixed fruit and nuts
10am - two wholemeal slices of bread toasted with avocado
12pm - Chicken salad ( one chicken breast ) and a piece of fruit or two wholemeal slices of bread with salad and ham and a piece of fruit
1pm - Protein shake followed by creatine shake
2pm - workout at the gym for an hour ( Arms monday, back tuesday, shoulders wednesday, thursday chest/core, friday mix but only if i have time to get to the gym - legs are a no go at the moment due to injury )
3pm - Protein shake and a handful of mixed nuts and fruit
430pm - Wholemeal sandwich containing whatever salads/meat i have at home
6pm - meals are either mince wraps with salad or 2 chicken breasts with vege's or beef/chicken stir fry

Welcome aboard Popeye!
I'm not sure why you can't access the site articles? Is it a broken link or do you get an error msg?
7% bodyfat? That's right about competition levels....
Anyhoo well done on achieving your weightloss!

Hello, been lurking ausbb for a week now and decided to join it because there seem to be a decent community here and everyone is helpful.
I was on uni break when I decided to get back into shape and while having a standard beginners gym set at home (75kg in total plates). 3 weeks of mucking around at home I decided to join a local gym with a mate. Been heading there around 4-5 times a week. And 4-5 HIIT sessions a week. I've just entered my 4th week at a gym and I can see some pretty good results so far. I've been watching my diet, reducing my carb intake and increasing the meat and veg intake. Limiting fast food and alcohol to once a month. I started of being 75kg, now am around 78kg.
I can see that I've increased a bit of bulk and the fat has dropped a considerable amount.
My goal is to put on more muscle while trimming the fat down, be healthier and fitter.
Stats-
Age: 19
Height: 178cm
Weight: 78kgs
Location: Perth
Lifts so far- , Goals
Dead: 100kg , 150kg
Squat: 90kg , 150kg
Bench: 80kg , 100kg
OH press: 50kg , 65kg
I would like to improve my form in squatting and deadlifting.
My left hip clicks when I attempt to squat. It does not cause any pain or discomfort but its irritating the hell out of me. Is this normal?
