Plats!!! Who the hell are we??

[Jarbeebus]

Thanks bro...good to be here. This is actually a very interesting thread in it's entirety. Quite a cross-section of the population comes to EF...not just personal trainers and bodybuliders .

Well - I've actually been a plat for close to a year. I read the board all the time, but barely ever post. I always learn something though.

Me - 31 y.o. project manager from Houston, TX. I ride a black H-D Fat Boy, and drive a 4x4 Jeep.

6'2", 205 lb. About 12-13% BF. Have been lifting weights for about 6 years - and I'm 20 pounds heavier than when I started, but still not big by anybody's standards.

And the name - Chesau - a nickname I got when I was 21 after being realllly wasted and seeing my first bottle of Icehouse. "What is this Chesau crap?" Never lived that down........

Anyway - nice to meet everybody. I'll try to post more.

Most people just call me "G". I am 23 years old and I live in Wisconsin. I have a beautiful wife and a 5 year old daughter. She is the coolest damn kid in the world I swear. I own my own biotech business. We do custom robotics applications, custom racking, equipment rebuilds, supply parts, and help develop customers' methods and chemistries. I am still attending college when I have time. I am currently a 3rd year junior. Too many opportunities fell into my lap that I couldn't pass up, so school took the back burner for a while. I play lead guitar in a band. We have released two CDs and we are signed by a label out of New York. I would love to give out the name, but I don't want too much info about me open on this particular board. I am an avid sport-biker and I ride as much as I can when I am not working, hanging with the fam, or gigging.

I started lifting in 7th grade to prep for football in high school. I lifted religiously trough high school, and then took about 2 years off when i started college. Then I realized I was getting weak and feeling small and started lifting heavy again. My goal is to reach 250lbs at 8%BF. I should be able to reach this by the end of next summer.

good luck bro....I'd like to get to that too.

Isn't this quite the long thread.

Hey! I live in the vacinity of Prescott, Arizona. I'm 31 and have a little boy who will turn 5 in March. I'm divorced (41/2 years ago) but am currently living with a big hunk of a man. I'm the outdoors type - love camping, hiking, exploring in general. I have very little fear, which sometimes gets me in to trouble. I love to travel - just got back from Belize, Central America, where I hiked up a lot of really tall Mayan temples. (check out my pic gallery - you'll see how freakin' big they are.) Boyfriend is setting me up on a new, more intense workout routine. I'm setting him up on a better diet.

ZXE,

A couple light cycles. Test & Deca only. It took me forever to break 200 lbs and hold it. I'll be happy at a lean 220 or so.

L4 / L5 is herniated, so too much body weight does me absolutely no good at this point, and heavy squats went right out the window last year.

But - you have to keep plugging away!

Wow...that's fuckin awesome! That is definitely something my wife and I would like to do (climb the Mayan temples). Can't wait till we're rich and money is no object, so we can travel often. You and your friends look to be in pretty good shape in those pictures. Good stuff. Welcome and hope you stay active on this site.
