Didn't make much progress during 2011. Got a bit slack/bored at times, as well herniating my L4/L5.

It would also be a good idea to say why you joined Ausbb - Australian BodyBuilding: Got into eating kangaroo and have a few friends in Aus. So thought I'd get a little more social.

Do you have any goals in mind? To be the best I can be and healthy as a person with M.S. can be. Next to be the best drug free wheelchair bodybuilder in the world.

Are you looking to start training? Every morning. ;) lol

Are you trying to gain or lose weight? Bulk or show prep???? ;) lol

Perhaps you are already an experienced trainer and are looking to share your experience with others? I love to spread the word about drug free wheelchair bodybuilding to both inspire and show other wheelchair people they can also do it that its not just a able body's sport.

I have done 15 shows and guest posed at 2 shows since 1999, took 7 firsts and placed in top 3 at 7 others. Only once I didn't place in the top 3 of my class.
11 of these shows was as a able body seen as even though I found out in mid 90's about my M.S. I could still stand and work my legs.

The last 4 shows were after my come back and in the wheelchair class were as a drug free and tested wheelchair, I am "Over All" unbeaten.

Hello!

Hi all, decided to sign up and join the community! Love that the material and people are all from Aus instead of the cesspool that BB.com has become.

Anyway...

Name: Chris
Age: 20
Height: 177cm
Weight: 68kg
Location: Perth
Occupation : Student (Medicine)
Interests: Lifting, Computers and electronics (I guess), Fashion and Music

Currently on SS and have never been to comp, so I don't really have 1RMs;

5RMs (starting/current/goal)

Squat 65kg/110kg/120kg (didn't have a squat rack for 5 out of 8 months, so that's why it's lagging behind)
Bench 57.5kg/87.5kg/95kg
Deadlift 100kg/142.5kg/150kg
OHP: 35kg/62.5kg/BW
Pull-ups: 10kg/30kg/35kg (weighted)

Goals:

- Compete in a powerlifting meet
- Do a Tough Mudder in 2013
- Hit 1000lb total for the Big 3 at under 75kg
- Use what I know to help others be their best :)
- Eventually start up the best no-frills awesome gym in Perth

Journey:

Started off at 61kg and did not know what I was doing, started using my home gym and doing tons of reps, then started on the 100 push-ups program. Pre-SS, I went from 40 -> 70 pushups on the 100 push-ups program. Found Stronglifts online (and then Starting Strength), and decided Starting Strength was better. Was on-and-off for about a month in Dec 2011, went on holiday for a month and then officially started consistently on March. Was messing around before, not being consistent with workouts and not increasing weight when I was supposed to.

30/12/2011 - 61kg

6/6/2012 - 65kg

15/8/2012 - 67kg

17/10/2012 - 68kg

Now that it's summer, focusing a bit more on cutting down and more hypertrophy-based sets. Problem has been not eating enough and not getting very good sleep (due to Uni). Hoping to hit 1000lb total next year and enter some comps :)

(Sorry for massive pics, not sure if I should resize or not)
