Training Experience: quite a few years
Reasons for training: disabled: weight training helps with mobility, recovery, pain management....etc.
I don't think I have much to offer the forum as I have to train a little differently from most people but I still love weight training with a passion. It does me a a world of good. I can't do traditional power moves (squats, dead lifts) but I can work around that with other exercises. Being disabled is no excuse for not maximizing what you can do physically.
I'm enjoying reading through the forums and hope that if other disabled people appear that I might be able to help them.
After a 7 month lay-off through a bit of a set-back because of my problems I have refashioned my home gym with new equipment: aside from free weights, I have an old half-rack, 160 odd kilo of standard plates, a standard bar, an Ironmaster IM2000 machine, an Ironmaster Superbench, and an assortment of dumb bells. I don't have a best for squat or dead lift, but my best bench was a 4x300 pounds, which I hope to better in the future.

Welocme to the forums , enjoy your stay
have lost 45 kg. I was 114.8 kg when I started, got to down to 66.5 kg
DBEE, this is a sensational performance, you lost 40% of your previous body weight. That takes some old fashion ticker
I took a total holiday from dieting and exercise for the four weeks I was overseas, and I have been a little (!) slow to get back to it. I think I needed a mental break from such a rigourous diet and exercise routine. I know that my diet isn't as good as it was, treats have been slowly working their way back into my day - coffee, chocolate, cake etc.
But I'm going to stop beating myself up about it - that only leads to more eatingInstead I'll draw some positives out of it - I think I have found my "tipping point" so to speak. That is, the max amount I can eat - with the min amount of exercise - and weight is staying steady.
Couple of warning signs there I reckon DBEE.

I basically joined as I would like to bulk up and was hoping people could point me in the right direction and give me some pointers. I weigh in at 58kg and am 165cm. I am toned but would like to bulk up and build strength. Where should I go?
