Troyboy
Hello
Im Troy - yet another lurker, been reading these boards for a little while now trying to sift through the mountain of information and opinions on here for some gold.
So far this feels like a community that will hopefully help me get to where i want to be, that is: to carefully work towards not being a weak lazy f$%ker anymore....
finding myself really liking the posts here, they switch between "information, help, more information, suggestion, questions, then theres always a 'Harden TFU' post, which funnily enough after the genuine help seems to often be the best answer!
so, about to lay my balls out for everyone to see (done some videos of my [lol]lifts that ill put in a training diary today) catharsis incoming - dont hurt me im a sensitive fellow.
short version:
im 33, 6'1, 82kg last month, live on the gold coast; i am weak like kitten and my goal is to be strong like cat.
want to learn how to lift properly and then to do so and get stronger on a consistent regular basis for at least a full year to start a lifting base. dont really care about looks as long as i dont turn into too much of a fatty with the milk, main goal is good form, get *some* strength and along the way help my flexibility and back issues (already made big gains in these areas after only a few weeks)
i must say i love lifting so far even with the setbacks and my low strength levels; i think ive found something i can do in some way or another for a very long time. in for the long haul!
if things go great id love to hit the basic novice lifting levels at some point, but thats a secondary goal to doing the bloody lifts correctly and not hurting myself.
...
id like to say a quick thanks to graeme/the admins/owners or whoever is responsible for this board, it seems a really solid community and hope i can add something to it (even if 'something' is just adding more videos of me trying to lift stuff in my undies and contributing heavily to the overall quota of dick jokes)
also ive started going through some of the logs on here and have to say some of the sh!t you guys can do is astounding. inspirational, and just fackin cool... went through a bunch of Oni and Sticky's logs, and seeing what you guys have accomplished is of great help to me... not because i think im capable of anything like that, but just that its great to see others kick some ass.
well, off to start a training log and upload my videos for your critique!
cheers
troy
will put my fitness history and a longer version in my training log, i do tend to get carried away when i start to type so walls of text will be probably be everywhere next to my name. dwi!
