Hello everyone, i am a former member and decided this time around i would go plat. I have always greatly respected this site and it has always proved to be invaluable information. I am a former college athlete. 4 years ago i was 6'3 248 and about 6 percent body fat. Then as fast as it started, my career was ended due to total reconstructive shoulder surgery. My self esteem shedded away almost as fast as my muscle did. Before i knew it i was into drugs and i was weighing 185 pounds. Then one day i woke up and decided to get my life back into order. Then i broke my arm in 4 places and needless to say that i was at an all time low. That was 1 year ago. I am back up to 225 and gaining. This site has done so much for me getting back to where i want to be. I just got certified as a personal trainer because i want to help people feel good about themsleves because i know how hard it is to be on the other side. Thanks for everything.
