I guess I should post my profile as well...
I used to be really into fitness and gym in my uni days, I studied molecular pathways and genetic engineering (I don't want to list my true major lest you track me down, muahaha) and during then I hit the gym and library 3 times a day on a students budget. Had no life other than gym, studies and basketball and gaiaonline lolol back then but that was ages ago.
I think I hit my peak then, I actually hit a 3.8 % bodyfat and the guy who wanted to measure me on his new expensive scale was a med student. He was a really ripped PT but he was also a hard gainer like me and he always wanted to measure me. He was shocked at my bodyfat, he re-tested me about 4 or five times and said that was the lowest ever. He is a full fledged doctor now but not sure if he went into practice or did something like surgery. Anyway I was about 67 kgs, 3.8% bodyfat but looked really big for my weight. People always thought I was a good 15- 20 kgs heavier!! I could dunk the ball at 5 feet 10 inches and loved cycling (nothing but incline, and not long distances lolol) on my bicycle that my buddy got me from the dump. I fixed her up.
Now fast forward many years later I am not fat, as I never will be but I am definitely a litte on the skinny side. I cant put on weight, no matter how much I eat, so I will never be a buff fatty unless I take some kinda "juice" which I don't. I also want to stress I never took any protein supplements or creatinine or anythin except for once in a while those musashi growling dog grape protein bars (a ripoff at $3.99) as a treat as well as vitamins. Man that was expensive for me back then, lololol. I am getting back into training but more interested in functional muscles than ever before, and again back to training my chest to have a bit more "armor" lol.

Hi all
Going to try and stay active on the forum, might help me with motivation!
First lifted a weight at 20 about 12 years ago but never with any clear goals or attention to my diet. The past 2 years as I entered my 30's I started paying ore attention to my diet and slowly started tracking my lifts. Had a few set backs, injuries from training and a motorcycle accident in may this year so had to take time off.
Looking to both add muscle and get stronger. Been around the aussie boards for around 10-11 years as well.
Goals for the whole of the next coming year will be to stay injury free and work to a respectable level of strength. I always went into the gym for a pump and no real progression, I train mainly doing compounds now and hit everything at least twice a week and am getting good results, wish I'd trained like this in my 20s!

NAME- Maddy
AGE- 17
GENDER- F
LOCATION- Sydney
TRAINING EXPERIENCE- Been in the gym consistently since I was 12/13 however have been seriously lifting since about 3 years ago (around 15). Mainly bodybuilding style training until just recently I have also added in some powerlifting.
INTERESTS- Training, eating, my 2 dogs and music.
WHY I JOINED? To try absorb as much knowledge as possible.
GOALS- My dream since I was just a kid (and still is) is to be a world class athlete. I've had the dream of gracing the Olympia stage for quite some time (what bodybuilder hasn't?) My goal is to build a physique that would have been Olympia worthy in the female bodybuilding division. This year (2017) I hope to acheive a pretty nerve racking goal of mine, I competed in my first novice powerlifting competition and achieved a 370kg total after not much powerlifting training a couple months back. For my second competition I hope to break the GPC record this year and try to get a total in the 400's. I want to be as strong as my body can possibly be and as developed as it can possibly be.
