Hi Guys,
New to the forum, so thought I'd drop in and introduce myself straight off instead of lurking and learning.
Name: Mike
Age: 39
Location: Brisbane Northside
Training experience: 5-10 years weights on and off
Any Interests: 2nd Dan TKD, former Army Reserves Officer, Sydney Hobart off-shore sailer, few other bits and bobs.
Height: 168cm (5'6")
Weight: 72kg
Stumbled across the forum when searching online for good value protein supplements. A thread in your supplement sub-forum was enough for me to realise this is a good community with a fair bit to offer.
I'm currently looking to bulk up some more and get serious with my weights again. At 72kg for 168cm I'm OK, but could do with some more serious bulk. I want 80kg at about 10-15% body fat. I bench about my body weight but used to bench and lift a lot more when I was seriously working out 12-18 months back. I just relocated to Brisbane so am getting my workout life back in order.
Catch you in the forums!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi everyone!
Name: Linh
Age: 27
Location: Brunswick, Melb
Training experience: bit over 1 year
Any Interests: swing dancing and most recently, weight lifting
Height: 171cm
Weight: 84kg (BF% about 20%, measured 3 weeks ago)
Current best lifts:
Deadlift 155kg
Squat: 120kg x2
Bench press: 77.5kg x5
Military press: 52.5kg x2
Powerclean: 50kg (only just started learning it for 2 sessions)
Last year I got into this, partially because in my dancing, I have to lift women up and throw them in the air,
partly cos I just want to get strong all over.
Found this site after reading PTC newsletters. I was pretty clueless about everything until then, and finally got my diet cleaned up. Was eating well, 5-6 meals a day before, but had a lot of starchy carbs (didn't know better) and a couple of beers when I go out. No more!
Good thing though I've always liked full body workouts so I stuck to compound lifts and ignored the lame curls & isolations that the PTs gave me.
Goals for this year:
BW: down to 80kg and BF% to 10%
Deadlift: 200kg
Squat: 120kg x20 and 160kg x1
Bench press: 100kg
OHP: 75kg
Powerclean: 80kg
Others: 10x 1 arm push-ups with either arm, 1 arm chin-up, 1 arm pull-up (with either arm).
See you around!

Hi,
Have been on a few other Australian bb forums, figured that it might be time to have a look at some new perspectives. So here I am.
Hope to contribute somewhat as well.
