Introduce yourself

[big4life]

I thought that this would be a good way for everyone to get to know each other here. Feel free to post a little bit about yourself, your goals, hobbies, what ever makes you, the person you are. Post as much or as little as you are comfortable with.


This goes for the vets as well as the new folks.

I'm 43 years old and I workout for the overall health benefits, instead of gaining size. I have been around gyms of one type or another almost my entire adult life. I enjoy being out in the woods, hiking and such, so it is important to stay fit. I have been on a couple kayaking trips down local rivers and really enjoy them. My next big fitness expense will be to get a sea kayak. I have always wanted to paddle the coastline here in SC. My hobbies outside of fitness are my dogs, and motorcycles.

Well I'm 20 years old and trained on and off for about 5 years. I was born in Mexico and moved to the US bout 17 yrs ago. Since around October of last year I set a goal to reach at least 200lbs by Summer, which I am getting at, and maybe surpassing it (I think i got good genes). I'm an artist, draw, paint, create, destroy etc. I am also a web designer by trade. I have to say that one of my weak points are Hostess products (twinkies and such) and beer.

I'm 36 years old....6'2" and currently between 245lb and 250lb...I've always been heavy but not (really) fat....I'd like to drop about another 10-15 pounds of bodyfat but I don't like aerobics. I've been married for 14 years and have two kids (3.5 girl and 1 yo boy)...they are my meaning here on earth and when I'm not working out, I usually wrestling/playing with them. I work at night in IT for a warehouse/distribution center for a large drug store chain. I also have two yellow labradors.

I'm currently more into fitness than BB per say....but I'm always looking to get stronger and more cut...(aren't we all?)....My PR's for Bench is 275x4, squat 315x3 and DL 315x3...I don't do drugs, smoke or drink...(I am a devout Christian). I supplement with ON Protein and am getting ready to experiment a bit with creatine and ALA. With my size, I can imagine what would happen if I hit the sauce....

Outside of lifting, I play pick-up basketball and hike the Grand Canyon and Peak bag all over Arizona...

This is a great board and I've already gained much from my short time here....

Peace to all....be safe (and patient) in the GYM.....

24 yo. about to finish grad school in 2 weeks. I am in the sports marketing/event management business.

started really getting into the iron game in May of 03. Unfortunately, I hurt my rotator cuff in June and haven't been able to work out 100% since. I have tried everything and am going to a specialist Thursday to find out what the hell is up.

Been a member of EF since March 03 and it has single-handedly changed my perspectives on lifting and made BBing my passions and life's blood.

24yo, been into sports and fitness my whole life. The only thing i have ever stuck with is lifting weights!! I just love to be at the gym. When not doing that im usually studying (chiropractic student) or just hanging with my woman!! My goals for now are to start cutting a bit, ive always been pretty lean, but this most recent bulking took a toll on my fat stores. BTW im all natural and always will be

Hey everyone...I've been away from Elite for a while...but now I'm back...doubt anyone over on this board remembers me...I'm usually on the anabolic board.

Right now I'm on the verge of graduating college with a BS in Clinical Exercise Physiology. Also working as a personal trainer. When I'm done here, I'll probably go on to graduate school for physical therapy (DPT or MSPT). And then I hope to use those credentials to get a job as a strength and conditioning coach (I just passed the CSCS exam) at the collegiate or professional level...and if i can't get a job that satisfies me...I'll fall back on physical therapy and open my own gym.

If anyone has any questions about training, nutrition, strength and conditioning, steroids, etc...feel free to shoot me an email...I must say I have alot of knowledge in all those areas, and can probably help you out...but if i don't know...I'm sure I can find your answers for you. I have access to pretty much any journal out there, and am always willing to help people out when they have questions.

Anyways, good to be back at elite...and to anyone who knows me...drop a line sometime. For everyone else, I'll see ya on the boards.

Happy Training...
