Introduce yourself

[BigBadBootyDaddy29]

I'm 24 years old, I've been training since I was in 8th grade. I'm 5'11" and weigh 260. I train primarily for strength, power, and size. I usually follow a Bill Starr- style program with a lot of Olympic movements and heavy, basic lifts. My goals right now are just to make progress in terms of strength and lean body mass, I want to improve all of my gym lifts, plus I wouldn't mind adding 10-15 lbs over the next several years with no change in bodyfat.

I am pretty athletic, I played football at both the high school and college levels. I played D tackle and fullback in high school, came to college as a 225lb fullback and wound up a 265lb nose tackle my Sr. year thanks to Bill Starr-style programs and a lot of eating.

I have my degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology and I currently work with juvenile delinquents (takes one to know one), but in the future I want to get into the marketing field inan area I am interested in because I want to earn some money in this lifetime.

In my spare time, I spend time with my family and girlfriend, I have a dog and 3 cats who keep me busy too. I pretty much gave up drinking last year, except for the occasional night maybe every couple of months, I find it much easier to acheive my goals in lifting and life without being fucked up and hung over getting in the way.

I answer all PM's and would love to help anyone I can, and if I can't help, I'll ask someone who can. I also want to learn everything I can about every type of training there is, knowledge is power, I also drae motivation and inspiration from hearing about how others train, eat, and live.

i'm 27

i started lifting in college and just started getting serious about it the last couple of years. i got into it for health reasons - lifting is a great stress reliever - and now i can't imagine my life without it.

i love to be outdoors. unfortuntely, i live in chicago, so the nice weather only lasts about 3 months! but, i did do some snow shoeing this winter. i love to mountain bike, so i can't wait until this snow melts. i'll do anything outside - run, rollerblade, hike, whatever. this summer, i'd like to get into adventure racing.

i also love to cook. living healthy does not mean giving up great tasting food!

I'm 27

I was a chubby kid when young, thinned out in high school, but never developed any muscle tone, mainly cause I never worked out. I've lead a pretty wild and counter culture life so working out was not in my agenda until recently. I've worked out on and off through out the past 3 years but never seriously until last year. I am currently trying to lower BF, through proper diet before I start trying to gain size. Goal is just to look good, healthy and (hopefully) ripped. I know it takes time so I'm in it for the long run.

I like Baseball (big Dodgers fan), punk rock, industrial, Betty Page and most anything raunchy in nature. I like to learn so I read and ask alot of questions.

Glad I found this place.

i'm 26. i'm a college sophmore as of this semester. i've got a LONG way to go to finish off school (plan on going to law school after i get my BA).

i just started lifting 6 months ago. in my younger years, i would lift on and off, but never had a good routine and didn't ever make any real gains. i've been making gains in strength and size over the past 6 months. i plan to stay natural. i'm 5'6" and currently close to 165lbs (that's me in the avatar). also, i'm doing all of this while dealing with 2 herniated discs in my thoracic spine. constant source of pain and aggrivation. the added strength from lifting has helped me out a lot overall.

besides school, kids, dogs, and lifting, i spend too much time at the computer. i hope to get the motorcycle on the road this spring, as i didn't ride at all last year and i feel the need to do some knee dragging again

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...

I have wanted to look like Arnold since I was 5 years old, and have been working towards that goal as soon as I was old enough to train. I have trained for 12+ years, competed as a powerlifter, now competing as a bodybuilder.
Bodybuilder is my passion, but so is my wife and son(who is due in 2 weeks). Also a huge gamer
