Progress - I have learnt that walking is a privelage.
 
Age: 28
Height: 181cm
Weight: 81kg
Bodyfat: ~16%
Body type: Mesomorphic I guess but I have a very narrow waist considering the width of my shoulders and my legs used to be extraordinarily skinny. I've since been able to put a bit of bulk on my thighs but my calves are basically non-existent
Qualifications: None
Sports: None
Supps:
Have tried pretty much everything under the sun but I'm currently just taking WPC and Fish Oil

Diet: Currently doing IF with a 16/8 fast/feed. 2000 cals on rest days (high fat) 2300 on training days (high carb). About 500 cals deficient per day

Past: GF of 4.5 years broke up with me in October 2008 and I decided the first order of business was to get my physique back. To that point I'd intermittently played sport and done a few weights here and there but hadn't laced up my adidas trainers in anger for at least 3 years (only exercise was a small amount of water skiing) and was eating terribly. I would have been about 77kgs at that point but probably around the 25% body fat mark

Short term goal: Get down to 12% body fat
Long term goal: I'll continue to use intermittent fasting but up my cal intake to work on size and strength leangains style

Strategy: IF and low volume training

Training: 3 day split 3 days a week

Current PB's:
* Bench: 90 x 6
* Squat: 100 x 8
* Deadlift: 120 x 8
* Press: 50 x 8
* Pull ups 25kg weighted x 6

(At my Squat, Dead and Press PB at the moment but building back to my pull up and bench PB after not being at the gym in 2012)

Goals:
Strength and aesthetics

My puny quads seem to have grown but still don't photograph all that well. Happy with the progress here though, 12 months ago I wouldn't have even considered a quad shot.

Hi Bud, welcome to Ausbb.
 
Ryan, 27.
I spent my entire life being a lazy fat shit. Found myself in terrible shape (expectedly) 195cm and 148kg. Couldn't run 100m and nowhere near as strong as a guy that big should be.

For the last two years I worked my way down to 110kg by doing a lot of high rep work and cardio and maintaining a fairly rigorous diet.

Now my wife and I are expecting our first child, I've set up a home gym and I'm looking to you clever chaps to inspire the next step. I want to be stronger, look better and be healthier.

I look forward to strolling through the wealth of knowledge you guys have shared in this forum.

Cheers
