Welcome To Anabolic Minds! Introduction Thread!

Hi I'm Vince, my friends call me Vinny. I'm 55yo , married with 1 child. I was a gymnast in high school for 3 years and was in great shape. I've worked out on and off over the years but nothing serious . I am a bus mechanic for a large transportation company. I suffered a back injury in 07 and was more or less out of commission for about 10 years and now I want to get in the best shape of my life and putting on size would be a big plus. I'm working on my eating and have been doing pretty well. I never really gained to much weight even when I was out of commission but I have gotten softer with a little more than i'd like in the mid section. Looking forward to gaining knowledge and enjoy reading the posts.

Hi everyone.

After months of lurking the forum (and daily reaching the quotas of posts that can be viewed as visitor) i finally registered. I have always been active and inclined to strength training, even when i was a boy (doing pushups and pull ups every night after dinner, totally counterproductive but i had the fire).

After some years of not so optimal training due to being a teen and a college student, I have been consistently lifting for about 4 years now, being 24, 185 cm, 85 kilos at approx 12/14 ish % bf. I'm a 1st year Law PhD student, working part time as a corporate lawyer so i can fund my supps lol.

I am natty, but obviously every day tempted to jump over the bridge.I just started my 1st cut, looking forward to share the struggle.
 
Hi I’m Paul also known as Bicko, Engineer by trade. Try to get to the gym at least 4 times a week mainly on the heavy free weights but got a home set up for when time is short. Been training in BBD Ninjutsu for couple of years now, before that TKD
 
Hi everyone!

Hey, I'm Manlyusername.

New here and just now making a comeback. Trying to regain the strength of my younger days by a little mild bio-hacking.
 
Hello everyone, I am 41 years old and serve in the Army for 22 years. I lifted almost my whole career taking my body from 143 to 225 in that time. At the end of my career I was side lined and med-retired from service. So to fix some of the damage done, I had three spinal surgeries and a few other surgeries. This has kept me out the gym for a few years (3.5). Things are getting better and I am starting to workout again.

But I have found out the hard way a few things:
1. taking off almost 4 years from lifting like starting from scratch, I still have mass but my body fat % is to high and my muscles are weak.
2. being over 40 sucks... i want my 20s back
3. losing fat isn't as easy as it was back in the day
4. not being in the military anymore, means I don't have my brothers around to help me stay motivated

So this is my intro and I hope to find a new family even if its online to ask for help and keep me motivated. ( any pointers for an old broken guy, feel free to PM me)

first message was denied with NO URLS at all. Very bad waste of my time. So I'll be brief-hi

Ok brah, you gotta post and do more before the ability to list URLS. Read the rules too. It will help for sure.
Sorry you feel your time was wasted, but the rule is there to keep people from signing up then just spamming with URLS.

I'm sure you'd understand. Thanks for being brief! Hi.

Hey everyone! My name is Jordan! I'm from salem, oregon. Have been lifting for 4 years. Love it. Ex addict and I have found my new love. Lifting.
 
Hello, I’m not sure if I’m doing this right but I wanted to Introduce myself somehow. I’ve lifted in high school before and now I’m lifting again at 25. Been lifting seriously for about 8 months. Been slowly increasing muscularity for about 2 months now. Before I was just strength training exclusively and then I hit a plateau on bench. I still incorporate both principles for training. Hopefully, you guys will be willing to help me learn in my progress. Currently I am putting more emphasis on my deadlift and squats. Thanks for having me.
 
Hi all I go by jtip250 ironically because thats where my weight started! UGH !! I am a wife a Mother of two and more through marriage and ministry.. and have 7 grandkids. My hubbys kids are bodybuilders and in 2016 took us on a cruise and gave us "the Talk" you know the "hey your gettting older..we love you.but you guys need to get in shape!!" So we came home off that cruise and got busy!! My hubby did amazing and still is..but my battle was so many things..slow thyroid to begin with really messed my thinking up and thats where I am going with part 2... my mind was my biggest battle. I had no idea I had so many attachments to JUNK in general and I was a stress eating...UGH ..after my dad almost dies from a horrific ordeal with cancer I came to the conclusion that something had to change.. seeing my parents and seeing their health conditions and some major genetic flaws i got my goggles off and got serious..more looking for health benefits than anything else and in the process I was blessed by a professional celebrity trainer who paid for me to go to back to college to become a nutrition specialist and fitness trainer which I am currently in the process of. He saw the ministry work we do and wanted to "tithe" into me and the fitness ministry end of all this journey I am on. WOW so a double of dose of getting my eyes open and getting my life on tract health and fitness wise. In January we joined a gym and in June I hired a professional coach to help me. Since then I have seen a wonderful loss started at 250 Lbs.. I am at 190.4 today. and I am not quitting! I am turning 53 this month and I want to be the one that helps make a difference in someone elses journey because I know the battle and victories in mine and ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME! I am not where i want to be but I am loving the journey of where I am heading!! and the best part is my hubby is alongside me and has made amazing changes!! BUFF!!! I am glad to be here..reading through a lot of the posts here I am glad to see this is a forum of educated people and not all the JUNK talk of some of the forums!! thank you for welcoming me!! and I welcome any advice along this journey..

Welcome to AM. Check out the anabolics forum for plenty of SARMS discussion.
 
Hey guys, I’m new to the forum. I’m here to learn as much as I can about bodybuilding. I want to get far more fit than I am, and instead of lurking on many different forums I decided to take root here.

I am fairly active, but I do not have the body I want. So hopefully over the next few years I can get to where I want to be. I am 25, work at a brewery, and am going to college.

I have a gym membership and a power rack at home, trying to make the most of my time.

I hope you guys don’t mind my questions from time to time! Haha

Welcome brother
 
Hi. I'm Chris. My user name is my name so it would be easier to remember. lol Way to many logins to keep up with. I'm new here. I work as a mental health supervisor. I'm about to start my internship for my Master degree to be a mental health therapist. I live in Tennessee. I have been struggling with weight for years. I have tried many things including prescriptions that worked for a short time then all the weight comes back. I am on testosterone shots for Low T but it doesn't seem to be helping. I have a gym I work out at but I'm struggling with having the energy and motivation to go.

I'm hoping I can find something here that will help me get back in the right direction.

New to AM

Hey everyone Dizzle3 here!
Training style since April has been what I consider traditional bodybuilding & prior to that I did 1 year (2016 to 2017) in a box doing CrossFit with a day or two per week of strength training & then Dec 17 thru March ‘18 I trained with powerlifters for a brief stint, enjoyed the training not the coach & so I’m finally back to what I really love & that’s bodybuilding.. my basic goals are to get consistent training in thru the end of the year, 3-4 per week and actually come into 2019 fairly lean & hard as opposed to having to get back in shape the first couple months of the new year. Looking forward to connecting & learning and getting to know others on the board.
