G'day from the land down under

[Tassie]

Hey Everyone.

I thought I would make a small introductory post, introducing myself, as well as saying how I'm really looking forward to learning a whole bunch of new stuff in terms of the Art & science of bodybuilding.

So. Who am i ? I'm 125lb at 8% bf. I stand at a might 165cm tall. I'm about to embark on the Anabolic Diet. Don't worry, I'm not about to ask a whole stack of questions that I could find the answer here or other sources. I do have a question about training methodology, but I'll save that for latter.

How are we all today? what's the best thing that happened to you today?

welcome to EF

 

[lartinos]

so you're a girl or a guy, lol. Welcome either way!

 

[BNG]

Welcome to EF! There's a TON of info on here (well this sight, this is mostly bs in here) but welcome and enjoy.

 

[Tassie]

so you're a girl or a guy, lol. Welcome either way!

ha, sorry, I forot that piece of information. I'm a guy, I thought that would've been obvious when I said i was 8% bf, but no worries hey!

I wont post any pix at this stage, Theres really nothin overly impressive about my physique. I'm sure you guys will be honest about lagging body parts.

I was thinking...the type of phsique I'd like to gain, is not the Dorian Yates-esque type look, but more the fitness model / classic physique look.

Thank you everyone, for welcoming me to EF!!!!!!

Drop the fucking attitude

Wait, you use centimeters and pounds in Austrailia? I thought you used kilograms or stones or something.

The world just needs to switch over to metric already.

When you said "125 lbs" it wasn't obvious any more stick boy

 

[Tassie]

Yeah ok. In Australia we do use kilo's & not so much pounds & cm's more often than inches.

I'm juz use to giving an pound weight, since that seems to be what a lot of people online use as a metric system. Let's ban together & bring the kg (and gram) metric to the rest of the world!! haha

stick boy! I haven't been called that before! thank you very much! This forum is so big, it's hard to know where to start! The platinum membership option sounds pretty worth the coin

 

[-Ariel-]

what part of Australia?

Bw1 particpates in all the hardcore threads

 

[Tassie]

I think it is

haha, great, even MORE motivation to get BIG!

 

[-Ariel-]

I'm just curious about Australia...
However, fore that, I'm also curious and impressed by your honesty at 125 lbs. How tall are U? How Old.
I'm not gonna flame, I'm just really curious.

 

[Tassie]

OK, OK. I"m 125 / 60kg. I"m 5'7! 25 years old. Obviously I've got a lot of work in front of me. Some of that work will be fun, others will be not so fun. either way, I"ll be there!

Ariel, ask what you want about Australia. I'm in Tasmania. If you look on a map of Australia, I live in the small island on the lower right, the island is in a V shape

are there any other Aussies here? Or am I juz the lone ranger?

Dude, 125... U must have been smaller than most males in your environment.
Either way, not important... I'm fairly new, however we had Golden Delicious, who was from Australia, he was a ladies man. He told me what a size 6 is. Okay here is my question. Like how is gear looked at culturally.
I mean is it seen as cheating? Isn' t cheating like considered more unfavorable than it is here. I believe this to be true, from a little I've read on Australian culture but dunno.

what do you mean 'golden delicious' ? do you mean a brand, or type of apple ? Not real important, juz a bit unsure.

Yeah, I"m usually only shorter by a tad than my peers, in terms of my 'size', I'm quite...small. I was quite small <insert skinny> for most of my life. Except for a few years in my early 20's (when i was quite overweight) I was small.

Gear in Australia? Well, it's a very hush hush topic. Amongst gym rats (bodybuilders, athletes et al) it's generally not spoken about. In terms of who does what, how much, frequency and so forth. It's a pretty tough circle to break into. In terms of how it's perceived by the GP (general public), it's seen mostly unfavorable & cheating. There are numerous natty fed's here in Australia, such as the Australian Natural Bodybuilding fed, The International Natural bodybuilding Federation), who do their darndest to promote the evils & unfairness of performance enhancement supplementation.

Another aspect of Australia would be if my direct family knew about my steroid use (if there was currently one), I'm confident that I would progressivly see less & less of my niece & nephews. Once again, it's perceived as a method that people use with 'poor self image' use.

is that enough ?

You must be new; otherwise you'd know that unless you're like 160 lbs and 5 feet tall chances are I don't want your body. I want that damn recipe, now STEP TO IT, CROCODILE DUNDEE!

I've only got a little while longer till my current diet is wrapped up. I'm aiming for 4-5% BF%, then do a peak week type of plan, get some pix done, then go onto the Anabolic Diet for a 6 weeks. The reason I say six weeks, is that I don't want to overcommit to it, while I want to give it enough time to see if it's worth it.


Thanks for the 7 day platinum membership. I've already done a good bit of exploring! This site ROCKS! OK, I'll calm down now. In terms of the monthly, yearly & other periods of platinum memberships, I assume that's in USD?! So I juz use my Visa & the conversion rate will be done for me? I think I"ll PM u actually (if thats OK), i have 1 or 2 q's

USD is correct. EF Frank is the guy with all the answers on Plat memberships (and deals too). I'd go straight to the source if I were you and PM EF Frank.

The world just needs to switch over to metric already.

Australia uses kilos for weight and inches for height. They mix it. So if you say to an average Aussie. I weigh 200 lbs and 6 feet tall. They'd know exactly how tall you are but no clue on the weight. They also have no clue if you said it was 80F outside. Celsius all the way


Tassie, I was just in Tassie. Whereabouts are you? I had the pleasure of staying in the Royal Hobart hospital in Hobart.
Flew from Sydney to Launceston, spent some time in St. Helens, had to go to Port Arthur of course, then Hobart for five days near the Salamanca district for The Taste of Hobart festival. Our west coast trip we opted out of because I got ill. But we wanted to go up to the whatchamacallit mountain. Sheet, it escapes me now.
Fun island but while it was 42C in Sydney it was 19C tops there. Surprised at the change
