Bob, 44, MiddleAgedFatMan getting back on track.

Technology/Security/Management consultant. Married, no children, and no children planned.

Lifted a lot in the late 80's/early 90's, and was in decent shape, planned my first bb contest for 93. Then I started my own business, had less and less time to lift. In 94 I set my PR's for bench, dl, and squat, but was already "filling out" and lifting less regularly. I've managed to work out off and on since then, and have kept a decent amount of strength. But I gain bodyfat really easily, and, well..."MichelinMan" would be a good nickname.

I've set a goal of shrugging off those 15 years by my 45th birthday in next December.

I have been lifting since high school, but about 4 years ago, I hurt my back in a car accident, and I was recently cleared by my MD to lift heavy again.

I am trying to get back down to about 245 (where I was before) - I've gotten back on track with all my old ways (eating clean, cardio, lifting) and I'm looking forward to getting back all that I've lost.

I'm sure a lots changed since the last time I was here, and the last time I was cycling, so I could "sure" use eveyone's input on some future questions I might have.

Thanks in advance,
ItlnStln

Ok, I guess it's my turn. I am 38 ( kinda feels old in here) Been lifting my whole life, just tryin to get bigger. Had a few good cycles. Benched in competition for awhile, few trophies. Sore elbows and torn tendons. Now I just lift for size.
I work for a company based in England, I live in NC. I travel the world doing inspection work at power plants, oil and gas refineries etc. i have 3 kids, oldest 21, youngest 17. Now am a grandfather.
I love riding Harley's. I own a custom chopper and a few other toys, corvette and a redneck truck. lol
O'yea... stats, I am 5'8" 210 lbs. Don't know the bf %. I'm not fat by any means.
Guess that's pretty much it.

I'm 24 years old. I am the Director of Development for a Custom Web Development firm. I've been programming since I was 7. I'm 6'4" 260 lbs and love wrestling and MMA. I was born without an ACL in my left knee and my entire left leg is somewhat deformed and has caused me to walk bow-legged all my life, but somehow it gives me freakishly abnormal strength in my legs and even in high school I was able to leg press > 1000 lbs.

I'm happily married to my beautiful wife who I've been with since my Junior year in high school.

Besides programming/computers and lifting, my hobbies would include close-up magic, mixed martial arts, and cooking
