I was about to say no one has posted on this thread for a year....but it's still 2004.

I am a 26 yr old canadian living on the Gold Coast in AUS doing a law degree (JD) focusing on International Trade. I've been a student for 8 years and have a BA and a MA in political science. My academic interests range from the World Bank's Poverty Reduction Programs (my thesis) to Foucault and Aristotle.

I've been training for 11 years and competed in the WNSO nationals in Canada (2003) and placed 3rd in the welter div. I've been on the boards for about year checking things out and I've found some good information for the most part.

After moving to AUS my training has been in a lull and I need to get the hunger back. As training is big part of life and very important to me, I'm a little concerned about how things have been going.

Haven't found a good gym or good training partner. I usually train alone but a good partner can make up for poor facilities sometimes...enuff bitching!

I thought going platnium might let me meet some people and find new resources.

hisback-Wow....I think if I understood even half of what you do, I would be even more thoroughly impressed than I already am! I think it's awesome that you are able to combine the worlds of academia and physical sport, breaking through the common stereotypes that are associated with each.
smaller-Equally wow...great to have you aboard. I hope you find the inspiration and motivation you seek for your training. I know that these boards have definitely provided this for me at times when my training was in a rut. Hit up WalkingBeast and ask him about the KTSA if you don't already know about it. I'm sure you'll find some extra "drive" there.

I'm 37 years old and, no, this really isn't my first post. I posted for years under "billycool", but due to some, um, marital issues had to take some time off and have come back with a new ridiculous name. I'm a stockbroker and have a 7-year old son and 5-year old girl. I'm looking to get another cycle going to try and am considering test and var. Anybody that might like to add anything, feel free to chime in.

Post up something about yourself......where you're REALLY from, what you REALLY do for a living....interests, hobbies, etc. for those of us who don't know each other that well...and even the vets.



I dunno.....trying to get something productive started on this board. I mean shit, we pay money for privileges like this board, why aren't we utilizing it?



for REAL, I am 24, a Premier Banker for Wells Fargo and I've got a 14 mo. old son. Lifting is my biggest interest, but I also bowl, play softball, write and love football and baseball.
