Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

G'day guys, I'm kim ( MALE! ) lol.
I'm 32, 89 kgs 6.2f and of normal build. I have been doing weights for 5 weeks ;) I've attempted before but i'm really really keen to put some size on this time and stick with it. i won't wear t-shirts at work because i feel i'm to skinny! my wife hates that i feel that way but uno how it can be. I feel i'm addicted already! I train 5 days a week giving muscle groups 3 days rest. i spend 45 mins a day doing my workouts and take a protein supplement after wards. i eat 200 grams of tuna and 425grams of baked beans everyday. I also work out at around 7 pm and then rest.

Any suggestions on improving or am i doing anything wrong?

thanks guy's...Kim ( barnsey )

You mean you have 200gms of tuna every day, 6 x a day dont you?

One can has 425gms, surely you dont eat 1/2 can of tuna a day, typo?
 
Hi and welcome Kim,

Make a thread about your training and diet, you may even want to start a log.
 
Keep that up and it will be decades before you wear a t shirt big fella, you know muscle is built by eating protein, not lifting weights?

I joined Ausbb to get away from the clouts on BB.com. And, for a more localised source (and therefore more relevant in terms of supps, stores etc.) of information.

I'm not lifting competitively, nor do I ever plan to at this stage, I train purely just to feel good and look healthy. There is also an element of sports training involved, for my mountain biking, but I have yet to really see benefits of strength training for MTB.

I have a "body figure" that I am trying to achieve. I guess that is my goal. I also would like to eventually incorporate specific exercises that will benefit my MTBing in terms of endurance for hill climbing.

At the moment I'm trying to bulk up a little, come Spring/Summer I'll get back into the cardio and probably drop training back to two days a week to maintain myself as well as shed a bit of excess fat. I hope there's a bit of muscle under there after ~3 months of Starting Strength :)

So far my lifts are as follows (all 3 x 5 reps)

100kg squat
110kg deadlift
85kg bench
52.5kg press

I'm currently 87kg.

Current Lifts are
145kg Squat (this is a few months old)
190kg Deadlift
95kg Clean and Jerk

I train for good all round strength as I’m a Navi for a 4x4 winch challenge truck so I need the strength and fitness to move large rocks and drag winch cables up rocky ledges.
 
Name - Andrew
Age - 18
Gender - Male
Location - South-Western Sydney
Occupation - full time student: Bachelor of Design in Industrial Design at UTS
Training experience - about 7 months on Starting Strength
Interests - playing guitar, basketball
Current Weight - 83 - 85kg (i have dodgy scales :p) up from 69kg 7 months ago
Height - roughly 183cm
Goals - I just want to get stronger overall. In 5 months time I would like to be able to squat 150, deadlift 185 and bench 100. Im doubtful about the bench but this isn't the forum to discuss it. Perhaps I'll make a post in the Strength Training thread down the track.
Current Numbers I haven't tried out my one rep max on each of the lifts in a while but I estimate my lifts to be:

squat: 135
deadlift: 155
bench: 70
military press: 50 (I know for certain that this is my 1rm)

I also power clean but I've only started that recently and my form isn't so good so it might be a bit early to say what my maximum is.

A mate of mine told me about this site and I've found some really interesting and useful posts. From lurking for a while, I can see that Fadi and Markos seem to be strength training and body building encyclopaedias.
