Plats!!! Who the hell are we??

[silverfish]

I'm 30. married, and have one child. I live in Northeast PA and work as a production supervisor at a chemical plant. I'm into duathlons, mountain biking, and lifting. Anything outdoors works for me. Found this site last fall and have been hooked every since. Just went Plat today!!!

Well, I'm 33 years old, and live and work in Washington DC as just another cog in the machine. Been lifting since I was 13 on and off. Was a competetive swimmer from the age of 6 until I was 20. Did triathlons for about 2 years after that, then kickboxing until i was 30. Got some serious injuries after being hit by a drunk driver while I was on a bicycle, so until the last year, I have not been lifting too hard. However, that is changing right after I get back from Germany after this consulting trip is over. Spent 9 years as a Naval officer, and have a Masters in Radiation Physics. I am single with no kids, as I enjoy going on the prowl a bit too much for serious relationships.

Researching my first cycle now, and I plan to begin it in about another month.

Anyone else out there from the DC area?

What an awsome thread! I'll pitch my 2cent in! Nice to meet all of you guys.

I'm living in Northern Idaho where I go to to college...actually i'm graduating this week with a Criminal Justice degree!! *finals are kickin my ass!!!!**...I had two this morning and brain is fried!! Its all good since I have a day to recover before I take 2 more! Anyways...i'm hoping to go to Law School after this. I did my 4 in the service...it was awsome...and now I play the weekend warrior role! All in all life is treating me good. I'm 25...soon to turn 26...i'm 5'6"...180 lbs...lifting turned into passion. It started out as a stress relief...and before I knew it I was addicted! Lifting is like coffee.....I start gettin all moody if I don't hit the gym or the get the java. I'm a way laid back guy...I enjoy the hell out of reading these boards....there is some real good stuff in them. Its kind of funny...everyone seems to have their own opinions on whats right and wrong....but for the most part i've been able to find a steady line of truth to what these brohams have to say. So with that i'm outy...nice meeting you guys....i'm sure i'll be runnin into ya in some other posts. Stay up fellas!

Hey nycgirl,

I actually just got back from a 6 week vacation in Europe. Spent most of my time in Germany, but also visited Croatia, Poland, Italy, Greece, Holland, Ukraine and Russia. Traveling rocks! If I didn't take a at least a one month block of vacation per year, I think my DC government job would drive me nuts!

Hi!

I'm 33, a SAHM (stay at home mom) to 2 boys aged 4 and a little over 1. I have never been into working out, and when hubby bought us a gym membership I drug myself in 2x a week just to make him happy (and the oldest boy LOVED the kids area). I was interested in weight lifting, but didn't really think *I* could do it until I came across Krista's site www.stumptuous.com . I decided to really give it a shot... and I LOVE it! I can't wait to go lift in the AM. I am there 6 days a week, and would go on Sunday's too if I didn't have church.

I had to needle hubby for a week to let me go platinum. LOL.
