I found this site from some journal links etc on OCAU. Yeah, I'm a closet geek, it's part of my job!

I wasn't sure where to ask the question, so I'll ask here. I have two private messages, one being a welcome message from the "forum" I think, but I can't read them. If I click on them, I get a message to say "

Other forums that have this restriction usually still allow you to view moderators messages etc.

Introduction
Hi all my name is Ben and the site is asking me to tell you all something about myself haha. I started my powerlifting training around 12 months ago after doing long distance running and now have never looked back. Im currently sitting between 83 to 85 kgs benching 145kd pause, 170 squat with wraps, and deadlifting 220kgs. My main goal is to get as strong as i can possibly can but at the moment all i concerntrating on my squat it is my weakest lift. Any advice would be appreciated thanks and good luck to everyone.

Hey everyone!
- Name: Jackson
- Age: 18
- Gender: Male
- Location: Sydney, Australia
- Training experience (if you have any that is): been in the gym since about 13 but no formal qual's
- Any Interests: I started performing magic at parties & restaurants from about 14 & have since appeared on Hey Hey It's Saturday. It's what i want to do as a career, with fitness/underwear modeling on the side (hopefully=D). Also LOVE music & cross country running.
I joined AusBB because I've gotten serious about training since coming back from an injury about 2 years ago. I wanna reach my goals & help other reach theirs.
As a kid I was pretty overweight & finally fixed up my diet & started exercising at about 13 or 14. Dad got me in the gym doin some basic exercises like bench, lat pull down & cardio once a week, but I wasn't that interested. Got 'fit' by about 15 or 16, then dropped a 20kg plate on my big toe, & wasn't able to train for like half a year. I gained a considerable amount of fat cos I couldn't do any exercise. Then got into running in March 2009 and lost 12kg in 3 months & got the nickname "The Body" at school =D.
I've loved training & running ever since & aim to get real lean & ripped this summer (around 6-7%bf) & stay in single digit BF for the rest of my life (I hate the idea of bulking & cutting). I love training hard & getting stronger & fitter - competing in cross countries & finishing City 2 Surf (something i thought I'd never be able to do even after I got fit, let alone when i was overweight) has taught me that discipline, hard work & consistency is the main ingredient to great results.
I feel that training has done more than improve my fitness & health, it's improved my confidence, I'm now more alert & energetic, my performance at school drastically improved & has made me a better entertainer. I love no longer being ashamed of my body & having to hideaway & can now be proud of what my years of hard work have yielded. Getting serious about training was the best commitment I've ever made. it has changed me as a person & I couldn't imagine ever going back!
So that's more of my life story than an introduction but whatever
Great to meet you all,
Jackson

Info about me is as follows
- Name: Brad
- Age: 30
- Gender: Male
- Location: Adelaide, SA
- Training experience: Have been lifting on and off for over 10 years now and only recently have I started to put my head down and take it a little bit more seriously!
- Any Interests: Anything and everything sport, high performance cars and motor sport predominantly.
I joined to forum as I have always had an interest in lifting/bodybuilding and would like to hear and learn from other people's experiences as well as sharing my own.
Initially, over the next few months, I want to increase size as much as possible (although I am relatively solid as it is), lift as much as I can whilst trying to gain a more lean physique. Probably asking for too much lol but i'm lifting heavy 3-4 times a week, trying to eat as clean as possible and throwing in 3 seesions os HIIT per week.
That's pretty much it in a nut shell. After summer, i'll be looking at bulking up properly and reducing the cardio. See how we go!!
