Hi, I am 21 years old and I am a student. I am on my way to receive Bachelors in International Bussiness. I like to play many different sports, especially basketball. I didn't have a chance to do any weight training when I was a teenager since I had problems with my back growing up. Now that I am physically mature I am serious about lifting, getting bigger, stronger and more powerfull.
I am 5'11", 183 pounds, 14-15% BF. I just started lifting intensly 4 weeks ago and yesterday I tested myself: I squated (bellow parallel) 275, attempted 285 and failed, then I benched 215, attempted 220 and failed half way up and lastly I was surprised with my deadlift which ended at 325, tried 335 but failed. Now these numbers for most of you veterans are nothing but considering I've been in this game for only 4 weeks, I am happy with my results.
I am really glad I came across this board. It seems that there are a lot of veteran lifters who can give advice from experience. I an tired of message boards with bunch of 16 year olds with 600 lbs benches, 900 lbs squats and 50 inch verticals. I am looking forward to checking here often and learn more.
