Hello there boys and girls. 
I didn't win $31 million in Lotto last night, so this here is Plan B.
Vitals:
Age: 43
Height: 183cm
Weight: 94.3 kg (weighed today)
Bodyfat: not sure, but estimated at 88.572%
Background:
Had far too many years of sedentary lifestyle, wasn't happy with how I looked, so around Sep/Oct 09 I decided to have a crack at weights for the first time at age 41. I just did dumbbell and resistance band workouts for the first couple of months and around Xmas 09 I started setting up a proper home gym.
In 2010 I was extremely committed and did close to 200 workouts in the year. I also lost a lot of weight and got quite lean. I thought I was probably too lean though, without enough muscle, so decided I needed to bulk up. That hasn't worked out as well as planned.
In 2011 I was pumped for another big year but in January I had an MRI scan revealing a torn labrum (cartilage) in my left shoulder. I tried physio but that made it more painful. That put me out of action for the next 3 months or so. Gradually the pain eased and I got back into it, however I haven't properly rectified the injury so I work around it. No bench press or overhead press anymore for me. I've increased my work on dips instead and also do a lot of back work.
I'm not a strength-oriented trainer, which is just as well because my lifts are pretty mediocre compared to you guys. There's a good quote I like to follow; "it's the quality of the movement, not the quantity of weight moved, that counts".
I've been on semi auto pilot for a while now in terms of nutrition, a sort of pseudo bulk mentality, but in reality I don't take enough care with what I eat, so time to get a bit more serious I think.
Will post photos shortly.
