Ahhhh you are the smoothest mofo on the planet. You should sell cars G
Quiet J, quiet please. Keep your voice down. I need 3 more for 200. Don't spoil anything for me. This means so much to me!
G'Day all,
Rastis;
24;
185cm;
Bloke;
Live in country NSW;
Played rugby (and therefore trained) since I was 8, it is far and away my sport of choice (I have tried a lot of others) followed by water polo (no local comps now I'm no longer in high school or living at uni).
Work supplied me with a gym membership about 18months ago so I swapped swimming laps infrequently for gyming fairly frequently in the summer and less so in rugby season. Was going with a crew from work one of whom is a PT and great motivater. Last year that bloke left work and some of the others have moved away so lost that awesome group motivation to train hard so haven't achieved much (but maintained well) for about 12 months.
In that time frame I have dropped from 130kg to (last week) 99.5 - the first time I've been under 100kg since 15..... Never was an "unfit" fat kid as I've always taken rugby seriously and had dogs to run etc but finally got my diet right and gee I feel better for it.
However, whilst being lighter makes running around the paddock easier it makes it harder to achieve the results in scrums/rucks etc - so my biggest training goal is increased strangth/functional ability for rugby (my diet and dogs will help me cut off the rest of the fat...). Already moved from prop to second row, I want to cement that move and then creep further back to number 8...
Long winded post but I came across this fourm doing searches to compare home gym set ups and have loved that info and other discussions - I'm off to start asking some questions there and then get stuck into one of the neewb programmes!

Always looking to learn more and chat about lifting. Since I work out in a home gym by myself I miss the gym atmosphere. Chatting on the forum kind of replaces that and keeps me motivated.
Do you have any goals in mind?
So far this year have lost nearly 5 inches off my waist and put 35kg on my squat and DL.
Current goal for September is to Squat 180kg.
Longer term goal, more likely for early next year would be an even 200kg.
Currently, rehabbing a shoulder. Woke up one morning and it hurt. Kinda lame really but its been bothering me for 6 months.
Type of training enjoyed
I am currently using a variation of 5/3/1. Well its pretty much straight forward 5/3/1 but I am working around the shoulder. Oddly I can bench but shoulder press and up right rows cause a lot of grief. Seems the vertical movements are causing problems but horizontal not so bad...
My training was pretty bad before I got onto 5/3/1 a year or so ago, doing some presses and pulls and thats about it. Work out for a few months, get bored, stop for a few. I had myself convinced that I didn't enjoy squats or dl so why bother. Since then I have really focused more on my lower body and been trying to bring it up to scratch. Since Xmas my squat has gone from 130 to 165 and my form improved out of sight. Now I enjoy doing them and have seen huge improvements in every area.
Wish I lived in a big city so I could join a proper strength training gym.
