howdy gang... I've been a lurker off and on for ~6 months or so... been really digging around for the past couple months (yes, I got back in the gym after New Years, but it wasn't some cheesey "resolution" or anything... it was just "time")
I just hadn't signed up yet... there's so much good shit on these forums that I STILL haven't gotten to yet!
I've been primarily a car guy for the past 8 years or so and have been in and out of the gym here and there... nothing too serious... but lately my old cliques and habits are getting pretty boring to be perfectly blunt, and I've really been enjoying the gym more and more lately... and there seems to be a much higher quotent of open minded and intelligent individuals on this board than on any other board I've seen...
I always see you guys asking for stats... umm...
mine aren't that great, but I suppose everyone's gotta start somewhere, right?
I was a fat ass in jr high and into highschool... up to 6'1" ~250ish, and then got into drugs and dropped down to 6'2" 150!
I'm 'bout to turn 25, currently at 6' 4" 225ish (off creatine) (down from ~240 over the winter, and I've been putting on muscle and losing fat... I don't know bf %... don't really care... I've always had a belly... thankfully it's on the decline right now! I look good in clothes, I'm comfortable enough sitting by the pool, and I've had the same girlfriend for 3 years... though I have addictive/obsessive/compulsive tendancies, deep down I am comfortable with "how I am" geneticly to not obsess about abs and bf%...
I go back and forth with juicing... the impatient perfectionist in my wants it all now, but the patient realist in me realizes that I need a good deal more time in the gym and working on my diet before "decision time" arrives...
in the past I fell into the "back and bi's" trap (for most guys it's chest and bi's, right? hehehe), but I've really been trying to focus on legs a lot more this time around... (as well as abs and all my other "weak spots") (it's always funny when I catch myself saying "yeah, I'm really trying to focus on my weak spots... legs and abs... well... and chest... and shoulders...)
as far as how much weight I'm pushing around? not much... but I've enjoyed watching the weights go up on various exercises over the past couple months... I'm more interested in getting my pump on and the asthetics of muscle building versus strength (and I'm embarassed to tell just how weak I am at this point! LOL!)
anyhow, if you've made it this far, thanks for hanging in there! looking forward to learning a lot more about this body that I'm gonna be residing in for the rest of this life... and don't worry... I'm a moderator on another board and I'm a forum rat on some other forums... I'm quite adept at using the search function, so I'll try to keep the redundant and assinine posts to a minum!
thanks in advance for your hospitality and kudos to those who make this site the great resource that it is!
take care,
Forrest
