I love sports and have been wanting to add weight training for strength and stability to improve performance. I've recently received medical results that mean I have to give up my current sport so things are a bit up in the air whilst I look for something new. I hope to make weight training a lifelong habit.
I'm not sure yet on specific goals for weight training but expect to train three times a week. I want to work out at home so am looking for equipment at the moment. I joined this forum hoping I'll be able to learn from others as I go.
I've done the above program of Fadi's, and I love it. I highly recomend it, for anyone from beginners to experts. You and your BF could do this together.

Name: Mike Age: 25 Gender: Male Location: Townsville, Far North QLD Any Interests: My 2 boys, lifting heavy objects Height/ Weight: 175cm/72kg Training experience (if you have any that is):
Past 5yrs training has been a hit an miss kinda thing. Have been training pretty consistantly since september last yr. Before that I mainly ever concentrated on upper body work, bench press, any of the 30 different types of bicep curls, pull-downs and flyes.
After scouring the net an reading up on alot, I've added a bit of variety and a handful of new exercises. Also phased alot as well.
Started last year at 66kg and worked myself up to 72kg by January.
Aim is this year to be able to deadlift over 100kg and squat near 80kg.
I dont post on their because its a waste of ink, and I'm all over this computer stuff like black on Shaq, I can send emails now unassisted and recently I zipped a document, have to go, Bill Gates is calling

Been bodybuilding for many years,love the training part but eating has always been an issue for me.....I find it hard to eat. Look forward to talking to all of you & sharing ideas/experiences on bodybuilding.
Apology accepted Markos, I'm a big fan of your style of training, I've read all 100 free newsletters, so I do respect you a lot.
I'm also amazed by how quickly you improve your clients, and how strong your clients are. I really wish I could train at gym, as I'd fall under the 'enthusiastic and keen teens'. I've actually wet dreamed about lifting with your son Max and being coached by you.
Name: Daniel Age: 21 Gender: Male Location: Sydney Any Interests: BJJ, MMA Height/ Weight: 179cm/68kg Training experience (if you have any that is): Started seriously lifting this year, been on and off for the last year.
Name: Chris Age: 21 Gender: Male Location: Sydney, west Any Interests: Bikes, eating Height/ Weight: 180cm / 85kg Training experience (if you have any that is): Solid ~9 months of training got me to 97kg first year of uni, after that excuses were made and I got small again. I've been back into it for about ~2months. Goals: 200kg squat / 200kg deadlift / 150kg benchpress by the end of the year. The bench press might elude me but we'll see. I'd like an elite total by the time I'm 25, I dunno how realistic this goal is but I figure no point aiming low.

Training experience: Well I've only picked up bodybuilding like last July. I had quite some free time everyday, so I thought I would do some exercises.
I was like 60kg at that time. Yes! Very underweight and skinny.. I knew I was skinny, my friends keep telling me that, but I didn't know I was so darn skinny
I've definitely put on some weight, but still not enough. Trying to aim for at least 80kg to 85kg by the end of the year.
I came here to actually find some online seller for cheap protein. Found Bulknutrients! Just ordered 5kg worth. Will probably get it by Monday. Can't wait!
Name: Umm... can i get a code name? I'm embarrassed so how about you call me OC
Stats: 26 female - and here comes the embarrassing part. I'm 5'4 and 125kilos. Morbidly obese.
I haven't done any weight training before. I'm a long time yo-yo dieter. I keep getting bigger every year and i need to stop it.
Weights seem interesting - walking and exercise bikes are boring. Plus i would like to make myself strong. At the moment i get puffed walking only a short distance.
I have a couple of weights, little dumb bells that weigh about 5 kilos.
I have been given lots of conflicting advice over the years and i'm left feeling totally confused about which way to do things. Do i get a lapband? Do i go back on a shake diet? Join Jenny Craigs? Weight watchers? Eat raw whole foods? Do a detox?
How much protein should i eat? I don't like meat or fish so what do i eat for protein? Tofu isn't that tasty, and you get sick of eggs. Then there is fake meats but they are boring too.
I'm at a loss for ideas of what i can eat that will be ok for me and not make me gag. I came to this website for inspiration and exercise ideas for me to begin with and to see what everyone else eats.
