Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

[Gauche]

I wish I had found the site personally a few years ago - it would have made a big difference to my training - as it is I've already modified my workouts based on what I've read here. Hope to be posting for a while to come...

Tell me about it!!!!

 

[broncs]

Yeah, it is amasing the amount of knowledge and information available here.
Thanks to all the people that put a lot of work on this forum and for sharing what they know to help others

Name: Stephanie
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Location: Rural Victoria

Training experience: I wouldn't call it experience yet... more like experimentation with workouts and nutrition

Any Interests: I'm currently studying beauty/dermal therapy and if I'm not working out you'll find me with family and friends

It would also be a good idea to say why you joined Ausbb: I've been using bb.com so thought I'd try a forum for Aussies

Do you have any goals in mind: I'm trying to put on muscle, although I work out I'm skinny and with clothes you'd be surprised that I use a gym

Are you trying to gain or lose weight: Lose fat and put on lean muscle like everyone else!

Perhaps you are already an experienced trainer and are looking to share your experience with others: I'm a newbie

Hey Guys!

My name is Ryan and I'm from Brisbane.

Been going to the gym now on and off for 2 years. Have a bit more time this year so I'm going to try and get serious about trying to bulk up. My starting weight was 70kgs and at the moment am up around 80kgs but still along way to go. Have been on all sorts of supplements that seem to cost a lot of money for just the name. I know I need to get on a good diet and some good supplements and thats what I'm hear to learn about. Hopefully with the advice of many of you I can figure out just what I should be doing.

Thanks for the welcome- Bundaberg/Bargara

My goal is not to bulk up, as many on this forum aim for, but to get more of that chiseled look. Reasonably muscular, but nowhere near competition level.

DKD.

That then tells me that a higher training frequency with total body workouts (including HIIT) would be the way to go. Reps in that happy medium range of 8-12 is where most muscular hypertrophy takes place.

Welcome to Ausbb DKD.

Hey I've signed up to get advice on how to add some muscle to my body. I have absoultely no knowledge about bulking up so I look forward to reading up on what the pros have to say. Which section can I post up my current stats and pic's so I can begin my workout?
