sup Ghengis!
welcome aboard bro...and congrats on what you've accomplished so far...kep it goin bro....you'll find alot of supportive bros here...no flaming to speak of and guys who really wanna help....at least thats been my experience. you may wanna check out yj's thread about common training styles...that'll give you alot of good ideas. and best of all i think this board has the best mods anywhere...very knowledgeable and helpful.Howdy all!
I'm a 39 year old, 6'4" guy trying to turn back the clock a lil. I started out a little over a year ago with a weight of 247 and a bf% somewhere around 34%. I read an article that said if you were obesly fat when you hit the mid 40's-50's that you could have shaved 10+ years off your life. And unlike smoking, evern if you trim down the years are gone (wear and tear on the organs). Scared the bejeezus outta me! Add to it a history of family heart probs and it was time to do something...anything!
I read the Body for Life book and it got me going. I dropped my wieght to 218 and actually got some endurance going. I then decided I wanted to see some muscles for once in my life and started working on the bulking. I read everything I could find and by January was at about 257lbs with a bf% around 18-19 or so. Since then I've keto'd back to 235 and 13.5%. I have a long way to go to get to my goal but this board has been a good source of info and inspiration. I'm just happy I don't need a tow truck to drag my butt up off the sofa anymore. Add to it, I don't feel threatened by Russian Whaling ships anymore either! Keep the good info flowing...it makes a difference.
I'm 22. I'm a Kinesiology student. Been training 5 years, but have been seriously training for 2 years. 5'11'' 300 lbs. 25% BF, goal is 230 @ 7% bf or lower. Played football until last year (too many nagging injuries and no pro potential)
Welcome brother, what board were you linked from?Recently stumbled upon this board through a thread at another board I frequent. So far from what I've seen the signal to noise ratio here is great. Lots of good info without having to weed through a bunch of crap.
I just want to keep growing, in knowledge and size.
BB.comWelcome brother, what board were you linked from?
ya..there is alot of knowledge but just digest it a little at a time. you'll find everybody here is pretty helpful too. welcome to all new bros!
BB.com
I've learned a lot of good stuff there, but there's just too much to weed through to get it.
I came from the now dead Fitness Board. I also love all the hotties in Kinesiology, they are great for motivation. Thanks for welcoming me YJ, and thanks for making me an anti-glutaminest. I have worked out w/out for 2 weeks now, and haven't noticed a difference. That money can now go to chicken, tuna, and more lap dances
Welcome IW, Kines is great, best of luck with that, and you have some killer goals, hopefully we can help get you there and welcome....
Welcome brother, what board were you linked from?
Hey,
Here from bb.com to check it out. This board defenitly has a lot less action. But at least it has some interesting things to read. So i'll be here mostly reading though.
I got no problem with that. I need to do some more learning and less talking about who Ronnie Coleman can and can't beat up. Not that theres anything wrong with that if you have the time .
Welcome, a lot less action.....for now. Enjoy.
I got turned on to this site by these two characters...I am a moderator on Anthony Ellis program at www.skinnyguy.net which is a private board , I started as a skinny guy at 120 lbs and im currently at 182lbs 8% BF, I hope to post some pics soon so everyone can flame me . A special thanks to Draven which introduced me to this wonderful board , thanks and keep gaining mass all.

Me, I have a 1967 Chevelle, hence the handle.
I'm 31, 5'11", and 162 as of last weigh in. Started around 140 last year.
I'm seriously motivated to put on even more muscle than I did last year, and maybe even get to diet down.
Nice to see so many friendly people here...

Thanks. I was hoping to make more progress in the last few months, but the local watering hole has hampered that. (And I suspect a culprit of my increased bodyfat.) But I haven't had a drink in 2 weeks, and my lifts have gone up on almost every workout. I just hope it starts reflecting on the scale.

i think what you'll find is the more improvements you see in your physique and how you feel the less important the watering hole will become..you're already seeing the positive benefits of clean eating, workout consistency etc. keep up da good work bro!

As for the Chevelle...hehe...Project. I've been working on it for about 4 years now. Bought it as a basket case, pretty much just a rolling chassis, because the body is pretty straight. (It's hard to find rust-free cars here in NJ) But the body has been off the frame, powdercoated, all new brake lines, fuel lines, suspension, power disc conversion, and the motor (327) and trans have been dropped in. It starts, but does not drive yet.
And it's in primer until I someday work up the loot to actually get some bodywork done.
I also have a Harley chopper that I REALLY need to get working on so I can ride this summer.
All it takes is money... I like my toys...
Nice to see a place where everyone is friendly, no attitudes, and the level of knowledge is varied from novice to expert.
Small world...I graduated from NU a couple years back too.I am a computer guru graduate from University of Paris and Northeastern Universtiy in Boston and still continue learning from you guys. God bless all.
... check again... thought I would at least add one post to my total.
