Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

G'day all,

Jon, age 39, wt now 106kg @ about 13-14% BF. 6'2" and a large frame.

Used to lift when younger, but injuries and life got the better of me about 10 yrs ago, and then got slack and fat. Just started seriously getting back into training at the start of this year, and have gone from 122kg @ 30% with waist at 127cm to currently 98cm...

Had a few health scares, was getting older and more unfit and thought fuck it - the only difference between 'another fat forty yr old' bloke and 'another fit forty yr old bloke' is the 'I' part;) so it was time to do something about it!

Focus for most of this year has been cycles of cutting, with lean gains and fitness increases for my other main hobby of karate, and slow and steady consistency with a shitload of persistence seems to be working - funny that, hey:eek:

Goals for next year are to get to 10% - visible abs, as I still have some lovehandles and a small belly roll, and get serious with strength gains while not getting over 12% BF!

Good to see these boards - never knew they existed, AND people actually citing studies too:)

Male
Melbourne
6'5"
86kg

Used to cycle to work everyday (25k round trip) but stopped since going freelance/working from home. Apart from that, I've never been in a gym to train in my life, have always opted for the home option (P90X etc).

Decided to stop smoking and get real. Not keen to 'Bodybuild' but more to get fit, and find some definition and muscle in the right places.

Look forward to reading round here.

You sir, are a machine.

I mean no offence but you saying you can do x and y 'easy' reminded me of this pumped up fellow. You're both crazy strong.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Damian, I'm a 36 year old living in BrisVegas. I haven't been in to the gym for nearly 10 years now, due to a back injury and, well, life in general.

I think I'm ready to get back into it now and that my back will hold up. I've started with sandbag training and can front squat 32.5 kg, deadlift 32.5 kg, one arm deadlift 20kg and overhead press 30kg (I only have ~32 kg of sand - I have more coming as a birthday present tho), so I think I am ready for the big time of barbell training once more.

I'm going to ease myself into it on a Starting Strength program with my first goal to build core strength, followed by all-round strength.

Cheers
D
 
Hi my name is Luke. I'm 25 years old and I live in Melbourne.

I've been lifting properly for about 18-24 months. My main focus is strength training and am hoping to compete at a powerlifting meet in the next couple of years. Most likely a bench-only comp for now, or a push/pull meet, until I'm happier with my squat.

Recently developed an interest in strongman and have started integrating more strongman exercises into my training, although I need to build/acquire some implements to get more into it.

Training program is 5/3/1 on a 2-day-a-week schedule (squat/press, deadlift/bench). Current numbers, at 105kg bodyweight, are: 110kg front squat, 135kg back squat, 135kg bench, 190kg deadlift, 85kg press.

I've been playing basketball for clubs since I was 9 years old. I currently play 2 nights a week as a forward.

Welcome to the forum.

Wow your bench is equal to your squat???

Thanks!

I've always benched. I've never had an injury or issue where I haven't been able to bench. But I've done plenty of things to my legs, hips and back that have prevented me from squatting regularly, so I've got a lot more training time on the bench than I do squatting. And because I haven't back squatted consistently, my technique is also pretty bad to be honest, otherwise I'm sure I could squat more.

I feel honoured and humbled by your gesture Idi Admin, but I've been here for a while now. :o

BTW, is everyone else seeing the previous post as "DKD", or do they get their own name in there?
 
Yeah I thought it must've been like that, thanks mate. I think I got that kind of post when I first joined. Not sure why I got another one. Admin must have been heavy into the bourbon or sum such shit. :D
