27, L.A. (South Bay)
I've only been working out a little over a year and have only been serious (atleast what I consider serious) for about the past 6 months. I grew up very counter culture and was too busy partying and getting fucked up to think about working out. Until last year when me and my ex (of 3+ years) broke up and I found I wasn't the young, good looking 23 year old I was when we got together. I had put on some weight, my face wasn't as youthful, I now use glasses (when driving or when I need to see far, like at a baseball game) and the power alleys are starting to come in on the hair line. I decided that out of all these things, being fit is the only one I had real control over, so I decided to start working out. I have very bad genetics and because I never worked out before, started with very little LBM (no muscle tone) and high BF%. So I'm still fat and have a long way to go. I have a degree in Electronics Engineering but currently work in software. I'm into Punk, Industrial, Goth, some Metal and hot chicks!

Born in Dallas, moved to Miami and now live in NJ and work in NYC for a wall street company. I'm 25, love playing sports (mainly softball, golf and tennis) and went to the Univ of Florida where I played a few sports as well

 

[Becoming]

Okay, I am 29 and live in AZ currently... from Chicago originally but lived in a lot of other places including STL (my fav).. Played a little college ball at a smaller school then decided to transfer to U of Mich... Genetic research for a couple years after college, then went back to grad school and got my Master's in Molecular Bio/Immunology while researching in oncology in mice.. (dead mice suck!) Now I am a consultant to the Pharma/Biotech industry (consulting pay isn't all it is cracked up to be)... Lifted roughly continuously and drug free throughout my life from the age of 13-14, with the exception of grad school - that layoff did me in and still trying to regain some of those numbers... I am currently trying to redeem myself for my previous underachieving athletic career through the sport of powerlifting (lifting in a drug free fed-first comp this july) and possibly also in master's comp track and field (really just field) when I am eligible in a year...

I'm a 46, almost 47 year old executive. I spent the last 25 years in software doing all sorts of different things and a considerable amount of that time doing consulting work.

I have a gorgeous wife, 2 natural sons, 2 step-sons and one we kind of brought in an nurtured for a couple of years since his parents threw him out. The boys have been out on their own for about 6 years now, some a bit longer.

I enjoy reading, lifting, gardening, fishing, camping, hunting, and spending as much time as I can with the spousal unit. We have 74 acres of land in Washington overlooking the Columbia river that we hope to build on and retire to, and presently have a beautiful home in Carlsbad, CA.

I started lifting in my early-mid 30's at 128lbs soaking wet. I'm presently 235+lbs and still hitting the weights hard. I've been in andropause for approximately the last 8 years, but have been on treatment for just barely a year. Although, at present, I'm augmenting my treatment.

Thanks bros. Very interesting indeed. Sawastea started out right (in Dallas) ah well. Becoming, you are very interesting brother. I am glad to know you, and I wish all of you continued success and prosperity. Man I enjoy it when people let you glimpse into their "real life". Its like a breath of fresh air after leaving a smoke filled room. Please continue to post Plats. This is good stuff.

I figured I'd chime in here.

I'm 22 and live in Auburn, AL. I am currently working fulltime and going to college. I like to party and have fun, but surprisingly I do it very little and I hate working so hard to throw it all away on a night of drinking. I wish more people understood this.

I've been in AL for about 10 years now and it is what I call home. I was origionally born in Cali. So lucky you guys that are still there. Threre is nothing like going to the beach and then if your board take some time and drive right up to the mountains and play in the snow. I was born in Camarillo and when I was 4 we moved inland to Fontana.

I for some strange reason miss the earthquakes. I don't miss Smokey the Bear and big ass fires rolling down the mountians. I remember when I was in Fontana there was a big ass fire. I'm not sure if it was the 1985 fire or the 1989, but we had to hold our shirts over our nose and mouth to keep from breathing in the ashes falling from the sky while we were at school.
