Hey everyone! New member here. Just wanted to say that I've been reading this forum for about 6 months now, and it is by far the best source of information I've been able to find anywhere. There are so many great people on here. I've only been training seriously for about 9 months now, so I won't be a great source of information, but I'm here to learn and contribute whatever I can.

Good to have you here.
Well, in response to Lee and B Fold (who I respect the hell out of, by the way), I'm about 6'1", 210 lbs. I don't know much about body fat %, but I'm on the verge of being able to see some abs.
I mainly got into the gym because I wanted to look better and feel better about myself. So, I guess I'd be classified as a "bodybuilder," although I never intend to compete.

As far as training, I just finished about 9 weeks of a 5x5 routine I stole from Needsize. I'm not really sure what I want to do next. I've basically been going and working out whatever I felt like the past few weeks. I am looking for something more structured, though. I'm doing some research on DC training. I'm still in the stage where I need to see what works for me, so I'm trying lots of things.
As far as lifts go, I feel pretty weak compared to most of you guys, but everybody's got to start somewhere.
Maxes:
Bench: around 205
Squat: around 225
Deadlift: around 325
I don't max out very often, so these are just guesses. I've really been trying to focus on legs, because I know my bench and squat shouldn't be so close together. Deadlifts have always been my best lift.

Well, I never said I could see my abs
I just said I was on the verge of being able to see abs. As far as bf%, I'm not really sure. Probably like 13 or 14%. I don't have any pics, since I don't have a digital camera or a scanner. I might borrow one, though.
