Lots of potential
 
Hi everyone, I've been lurking on these forums for a while now, and i guess its about time for me to introduce myself. Well here's just a quick overview.

Name: Dan
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Location: Strathfield, Sydney
Training experience:
I've done bs training previously in my early teenage years (most of you could probably relate). The training involved dumbells and other stupid isolation exercises, and I couldn't really string together a good month of weight training.

This time last year, i discovered thanks to a friend, the correct way to weight train. Barbells and compound exercises. Finally, i started noticing some progress, but again i couldn't workout properly for more than a month.

Finally, on my third attempt, I reckon that I've made this weight training thing stick at last (I guess that's why they say 'third time's the charm'). I got off my ass and found a job, and bought a decent home gym set for my brother and I. And now i have no excuses for lazyness. I've been working out seriously for just over 2 months now, and I've made good progress. I couldn't be happier.

Any interests: I'm a very sporty and competitive person, I enjoy playing basketball, touch football, oztag, swimming etc.

Why did i join ausbb? Well i thought it would be a great way to learn from likeminded people. And from people who have much more experience in the sport than I do.

Personal Goals: Definitely to get stronger, I don't have much interest in getting huge and dominating. The main priority is definitely to just keep adding weight to the bar. Sorry i can't be any more specific haha.

Well that's pretty much everything about me in a few minutes. I look forward to getting to know all of you better. And also learning heaps more along the way. Oh and don't forget getting stronger. ;)
 
G'Day Dan,

I'd recommend you start a training log here.

It will give you accountability, and will allow you to track your progress.

Cheers,

Aaron.
 
Yeah will do. I'll try and get a log up sometime during this week. I currently already have this written training diary of mine, but its always good to have one on the forum as well so i can get suggestions and input.

Thanks.

Morning team,
Name: Chris
Weight: floating between 98 and 101kg for the past yr
Age: 25 in March
Experience: Was training off and on for a few years just pretending really, During 2008/2009 I got really into my power lifting and strongman training got up to 114kg lifts at this weight
Deadlift / 240kg
Bench / 165kg
Squat / 190kg
Standing shoulder press(bar) 90kg x 4 reps.
However I did some fairly seriouse damage to my hip around June of 2009 so I had to ease off the heavy stuff for a while, Allthough I love just lifting as big as I can my first reason for training was to be a bodybuilder but I didnt beleive I could cutt very well being a big endo. But towards the end of 09 I think it was between Sep Dec I managed to drop my weight from 112kg down to 96 whilst still keeping a fair amount of my strength. After all this I began training to be a personal trainer but this requires a lot of cardio and after training in a manor that I enjoy but not love for all of 2010 and still not being offered my courses I have had it and am goin back into b/b.
Currently I have Burstists in my right shoulder, which is just a fancey way of saying fluid inpinging on my tendons. After this heals ill be back into it 100%.

Yes that was a long way to say hi :)

Cheers Lads
