im just hoping to get a little healthier and would love to tone up like every girl..just dont really know the exercises i should be doing
there doesnt seem to be enough females on this forum which is a shame

welcome Eva, while your correct that not many girls post, I have quite a few training at my gym, so I try and post up as much information about their training as I can.

If you go to the journals, you will see there are quite a few guys that lift like girls, hope that helps

( Dont all get your knickers in a twist, it was a joke)

Name William
Age 22 (23 next week)
Gender Male
LocationRockhampton, QLD (Seen a few other people from Rocky on here so far)
Training experience Zero
Interests Music, listening and trying to play, into metal and hardcore punk mostly, wargaming, computer gaming and 4 wheel driving. Hopefully health will become one of my main interests.

Why I joined? I have joined Ausbb because I am planning to start training soon. I am trying to gain strength and lose a lot of weight. I am 195cm tall and on last check weighed over 160kg. I am known as Big Will not because of my muscles, but because of my flab and I want to change this. I want to be strong and healthy, and I want to go about it the right way, not some BS shake meal replacement or cutting corners or gimmicks.

I have been reading the forums for the past week or so trying to comprehend this great store of knowledge, and I admit it is a bit overwhelming, but hopefully with some guidance and hard work I can become healthy.

Cheers,
William.

- Name Just paperz is good for now, silly username i know
- Age 16
- Gender M
- Location QLD
- Training experience Started very basic weightlifting in 09.
- Interests I love videogames yet id like to bodyguild, arent stereotypes silly?

I joined because there is a great wealth of info on here, and consistent support from the regulars.

Ive got a natural build for weightlifting and mass building, and id like to use that build for big ole' muscles.

I think my muscles may be out of proportion a bit, i feel im having trouble with squats and deadlift, so i test my leg muscles to see strength:
is it normal to be able to just lift 40kg with your quads
have difficulty lifting 30 with your hamstrings
all at the same time as doing 40kg squats?

Looking forward to all of the advice i can get

My current weight lifting goes something like this, please point out my mistakes

(im having trouble with getting actual weights, i can only take the weight up in 10 kgs, ive got no 2.5kgs or 1.25s

Exercise 1:

40kg deadlift X 3 X 8 (been feeling uncomfortable recently)
30kg bench press X 3 X 8
20kg Military Press (i feel like i should be at about 15 or 17, but alas, lack of weights i must sort out)

Day of rest inbetween

Exercise 2:

40kg squats X 3 X 8 (Squats are a lot easier than deadlifts, which is odd considering you're supposed to be able to lift heavier with deadlifts than squats?)
2 X 10 chinups (recently stopped doign assisted pushups [even then i had to stop at 8 and take it in minisets of 2], this has made chinups a lot harder, not sure if i can do them fully
20kg Standing Rows X 2 X 10 (this is probably too heavy, i feel like im at about 15 for an effective lift

thanks for any help

Thanks for the welcoms derkaderka and Dave. Checking out BigJim's and Hello's training journals at this moment.

Joined the gym yesterday, have a fitness assessment this afternoon and hopefully I can get stuck into it next week.

paperz, natural build for weighlifting/mass building and those weights you posted do not go hand in hand. Unless you weigh 17kg.
