Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

Hello all.

Col
39
Sydney
175cm
75kg (skinny arms and legs, fat chest, gut and hips)

My goals are to get stronger and look bigger

I have no real experience. I have probably attempted to lift weight three times since the age of 16. I think my most serious effort was in 2010 on the stronglifts 5 X 5. I got to 105 on squats and deads(I ran out of weights at home) and busted my arse to get to my pb of around 48 kg on bench press.

I could not get past that weight for bench press and with the fact that I ran out of weight to go heavier on the squats and deads, I spat the dummy and gave up. I was also on redbak mass gainer and had a poor diet. I gained about 10 - 12 kgs in that short time but I just felt fat.

My plan is to just copy the diets from muscle meals direct. 200g beef chicken or fish and 200g carbs(potato,rice or pasta).
Then pick a program from this site and find a cheap gym membership and probably get another mass gainer( The price is right considering my financial situation).

Last thing, I hate that I'm very weak at bench press. I never get a chest pump and it seems that my arms tire way before my chest. I do however get doms in the pecs????????????????

thanks

kunce?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? do I already know?

Joined mainly beacause I was bored at work and thought it might be useful to find more information/likeminded people

Main goals at this stage are to reach 90kg by the end of the year (currently 80kg) and I guess just learn more

Training Experience - Three months
Goal - To reduce bf% to less than 20% and eventually cut and maintain
Weight - 160lbs
Height -165cm
Motivation - To stop living a 'what if' life and be an inspiration for my kids

I've always been in shape with hobbies and jobs like hunting and farming. But since having my kids my lifestyle has changed and it's meant I have needed to step foot back in a gym.
Seriously addicted to weights, always want to lift more and do better.
Eating clean and calculating daily crabs, fats and protein using MyFitnessPal.

I've made a change for a better me and I can safely say it'll be a change for life. :p
 
Hi

Name:Coolcad
Age:47, but I don't look my age!
Location:Melbourne
How long have you been interested in health/fitness? Since my teens
Goal(s) you would like to reach? Build strength and muscle
Goal(s) you already HAVE reached? Finally reached 72kgs last week and on the way to 75kgs!
Hobbies: Gym, sustainability & gardening
One interesting fact not too many people know about you: My Identical twin lives in Uruguay!!

Hi everyone,
Always found it difficult to put on weight, but making a huge effort to eat more now - better late than never.

Dabbled with weights over the years on and off until I needed to get serious a couple of years ago to build strength in my arms to help sore tendons and right shoulder from years of CAD work and desk sitting. Got a powercage at home now and it was the best thing I ever did!

Cheers
 
Hi all,

- Name - Mo
- Age - 23 (still young enough to be stupid)
- Gender - Male
- Location - Here
- Training experience - Years of tossing around in a home gym after 2 years of seriously wrong training as an 18 year old
- Any Interests - Bonsai (them mini tree's ya know?).

I joined this site to help with motivation and ultimately to gain advice and feedback - after a long arse day at work and then a few hours working in the garden, my motivation levels for working out aren't as high as just flomping down in front of the tele.

I'm hoping to get my abs back out like they were when I was young - nothing special but just enough so that I don't feel self concious about it. Also noodle arms aren't that helpful either :D:D

Cheers,
Mo
 
Hey guys & girls,

- Name - Danny
- Age - 24
- Gender - Male
- Location - Melbourne
- Training experience - Muay Thai at around 17, then gym really half assed for a few years. Since then I've been going to gym quite solidly for the last few years.
- Any Interests - Supplements, Design, Cars & FOOD.

One day I just didn't like what I saw, not hating on myself but just knew I could push myself to feel better and stronger. So I guess I snapped out of it. Biggest struggle is the diet I love food way too much!!

Cheers,
Danny
