Introduce yourself

[Yarg!]

Hi. I am 17 years old, live in British Columbia, Canada. I weight around 170lbs, and is about 5'8. I am a Canadian citizen, but I am originally from Myanmar. I work out mainly because I dont want to be another pinner Asian kid. So far I am VERY impressed with the results, and dont see myself quitting anytime soon. I enjoy hanging out with friends ( every Friday we have "Drigh" day- drunken, high day and we all just hang out), playing on the pc, playing soccer, working out (ofcourse), women, playing rugby, playing football, have a ps2, but never touch it.

hey, I'm 24yrs old from california. 5'11' 270lbs. bf-high! I've been seriously lifting for about 2 yrs now after taking about a 5yr hiatus from bb back in high school. Then, I was 5'11" 170lbs. Been focusing on weight training more than anything. Have forsaken cardio although I need it. Just can't stay motivated for it...but I'll lift all day every day, no problem!

Heya guys, stumbled on here a few days ago and I have been overwhlemed by how knowledgable and helpfull everyone here seems to be. These boards are awesome, figured this would be the best place to start my first post. I am 24 Years old 6'1 194Lbs I live in Tucson Arizona but am currently out in Qatar over in the middle east. I have always been a skinny can't gain muscle kind of guy but here recently I have hit the gym like never before and have been loving it. I am a network admin/comp system admin geek by trade, and by hobby. You will usually catch me bugging with my computer, hitting the club throwing my gains awayon that wonderfull thing called beer or hitting the gym.

Hi folks... I have been lurking these boards for a while, though I have never really been all that into bodybuilding per se... but one day about a year ago I woke up to find myself fat, weak, and unexpectedly single for the first time since I was 15 years old... so I decided to do something about it. I switched careers, moved out of state, and started working on my body. I am 39 years old, 5' 10", 170 lbs. now; exactly a year ago, I was 258 lbs., and was totally out of shape. I had a 46" waist then; I have a 29/30 waist now. Yay for me.

I managed to shred down to 155 in about 6 months. (I never did any aerobic activity, I used the lifting machines at the gym... unless you count a 15 minute warm up on a stairmaster...)

For the next 6 months, I worked on getting my strength back up, and have brought my weight up to a really toned 170-172. I still have some chub clinging to the ol' abs, and my ass is mushy because of a double disc-ectomy (L-4/5, L-3/4) in September... and my arms are, well, puny. I am working right now to get a nice 5 day split routine in place and get it consistent... I will be perusing the boards here for input, I can guarantee that... heh.

I really don't have any hobbies, other than my new job and the gym... and I am excited as hell to be at the start of actually building my body, rather than working to burn it down.

You're all probably gonna get tired of me asking questions, but I am a total noobie at this. Talking about it keeps me motivated...

So that's my story... glad to meet ya'll!

Jay

Hm ...

I'm 21, around the high 170s, low 180s right now. I'd guess 10-11% bodyfat. There's a full size pic of my avatar in my gallery if you feel like lookikng. Been lifting for about 3 years, and I'm not going to stop, ever.

Other hobbies include going to concerts, movies, art, and hockey ...

I guess that's all.

Welcome to the boards...and good job on all your progress. I'd be interested to know what you did to knock your weight down to 155lbs in 6 mo.'s without any cardio. What kind of dieting did you do?

Hi....hows it goin. I'm 18, 6'2, 160lbs and have bf of about 12%. I got into weights 2 years ago when I bought a bench, barbell and dumbell set from gf's big brother. Started lifting whilst also playing for my soccer team, and saw small improvement in strength. 3 months later started at the gym and bought protein powder. Kept on eating junk and got annoyed with lack of results, blamed genetics tried weight gain 2000 and gave up soccer.
Surprise, surprise...loss in cardio fitness, gain in fat in unwanted places mainly gut and ass and eventually gave up 6 months later dis-illusioned. Lazed around for 6 months doing very little if any exercise then started swimming. Started eating semi-healthy and added stuff like going out on bike rides and got job at italian restaurant.
Realised the abbundance(spelling) of cheap chicken and eggs and started wondering about trying lifting again. Read about on the internet, found this place, read up and have hopefully formed a starting point to start gaining.
Currently eating doing 3 day 5X5 compound routine and eating 6 meals a day, 3 regular meals high in carbs and protein, 3 shakes, last one of day mixed with peanut butter and cottage cheese.
Main focus at the moment is exams cos i bummed on them last year, want to join police when i finish school.
